• Where to Fish on Little Grass Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Fish documented in Montmorency County include largemouth bass, bluegill and northern pike. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Little Grass Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 67°F in July and bottoms out near 17°F in January. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to early December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Little Grass Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Crooked Lake Boat Launch sits about half a mile away and carries the launch. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Lake Fifteen is 0.8 miles distant.
