September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Pepperbell Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Little Pepperbell Lake at 2.5 km is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Pepperbell Lake.
