• Where to Fish on Little Fish 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 Moose Mountain No. 63 include emerald shiner and fathead minnow. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Work Little Fish Lake in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 18°C and January near -16°C. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at mid November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. It sets the rhythm of the year at Little Fish Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Keep the gear simple: light line, small hooks, split shot and a couple of proven lures. Provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Big Marsh Lake is 5.1 km distant. Confirm access to Little Fish Lake locally before you travel.
