• Where to Fish on Little Point Lake

Species logged across Buffalo Narrows include Arctic grayling and cisco. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The near bank of Little Point Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Martin Creek is 15 km distant.
