• Where to Fish on Little Redhead Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Survey and observation records for Nipissing District include smallmouth bass, cisco and yellow perch. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. At Little Redhead Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -13°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. The lid tends to go about late April and return around late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Little Redhead Lake.
