A crisp, open sky after dark, with enough SSW wind to stack food downwind and pressure going nowhere. Start the search at Little Mountain Lake along the seam between weed and open water. If you must go, go in the night. One good spot fished well beats five fished quickly. The season of moving fish: stay mobile and watch for bait.

Out in Renfrew County, Ontario, sits Little Mountain Lake. The bank is 276 metres above sea level. You can fish the entire water from one spot if you pick it well. Our Renfrew County list holds plenty of bigger water. Nearest town is Renfrew, 39 km off. It is 99 km to Nepean, the nearest city. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.
Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and rock bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Fish Little Mountain Lake to its features, not to its size.
Averages move between -12°C in January and 19°C in July. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly early December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Plan any trip to Little Mountain Lake around it.
Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Little Wilson Lake, 0.9 km out. Check the current arrangement for Little Mountain Lake.
