  Climate normals give 16°C for July and -20°C for January. Cold dominates the calendar on water this far north. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early May. The open-water window runs from around early May to about mid November in an average year. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. At Wee Little Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Should this one be busy, Swede Lake is 1.6 km off. Check the current arrangement for Wee Little Lake.
