Little Spring Lake Fishing in Timiskaming District, Ontario

• Overview

  Little Spring Lake falls in Timiskaming District, part of Ontario. Height above sea level is 293 metres. Small at around 5 hectares: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Timiskaming District list. Temiskaming Shores sits 11 km from the bank. Haileybury follows at 18 km, then Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues at 32 km. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Little Spring Lake

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name brook trout, northern pike and yellow perch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Little Spring Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 18°C, with January the cold end at about -16°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. Climate averages put the opening at about late April and the closing near late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. On Little Spring Lake that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Frere Lake is 1.8 km off. None of that is settled for Little Spring Lake in what we hold.
