Little Rock Lake in Frontenac County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Little Rock Lake stands in Frontenac County, Ontario. The surface lies 163 metres up. Small at around 4 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Our Frontenac County list holds plenty of bigger water. Elginburg/Silvers Corners/Shannons Corners at 23 km is the nearest place to stop. Sharpton/Glenvale is 24 km and Markers Acres 29 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Little Rock Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged across Frontenac County include pumpkinseed, bluegill, rock bass and smallmouth bass. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Fish Little Rock Lake where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 20°C; the cold one sits at -9°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid April. The season between ice runs from about mid April to mid December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. On Little Rock Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. The water borders Frontenac Provincial Park, so reserve rules are likely to apply. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. If the gate is shut, Little Black Lake at 0.6 km is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Little Rock Lake in what we hold.
