Little Long Lake Fishing Guide, Nipissing District, Ontario

• Overview

  Little Long Lake falls in Nipissing District, part of Ontario. Elevation runs to 346 metres. It measures about 11 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Shoreline comes to about 2.2 km, small enough to learn in a day. Témiscaming lies 29 km from the water. Then North Bay, 31 km, and Notre-Dame-du-Lac, 32 km. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Little Long Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Nipissing District include smallmouth bass, cisco and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Little Long Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 18°C on average, January about -13°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. At Little Long Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Reynolds Lake, 0.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Little Long Lake before loading the car.
