A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Little Loon Lake

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Peterborough County, recorded fish include rock bass, pumpkinseed and smallmouth bass. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. At Little Loon Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -10°C to 19°C. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The season between ice runs from about mid April to early December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan any trip to Little Loon Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Chandos Lake, 1.3 km out. Treat access at Little Loon Lake as something to verify.
