• Where to Fish on Little Robinson Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Nipissing District records list smallmouth bass, cisco and yellow perch among the fish reported. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Little Robinson Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs -13°C to 18°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. It holds true on Little Robinson Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, McFee Lake is 1.1 km off. Nothing on Little Robinson Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
