Little Mykiss Lake, Ontario: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  This water sits in Nipissing District, Ontario. It lies 498 metres above sea level. About 9 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. By elevation it is in the upper part of our Ontario listings. Start from United Townships of Dysart, Dudley, Harcourt, Guilford, Harburn, Bruton, Havelock, Eyre and Clyde, 56 km down the road. It is 182 km to Barrie, the nearest city. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Little Mykiss Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Nipissing District include smallmouth bass, cisco, yellow perch and pumpkinseed. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Little Mykiss Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -13°C in January up to 18°C in July. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. It holds true on Little Mykiss Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. 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. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Mykiss Lake is 1.3 km off. Check the position on Little Mykiss Lake before loading the car.
