Fishing Little Wright Lake in Nipissing District, Ontario

• Overview

Then Chalk River, 68 km, and Deep River, 69 km. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Little Wright Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Nipissing District include smallmouth bass, cisco and yellow perch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Little Wright Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -13°C in January to roughly 18°C in July. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. The water is typically free of ice between late April and late November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Time your trip to Little Wright Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Osprey Lake, 1.6 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Little Wright Lake if anything is unclear.
