• Where to Fish on Little Bob Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. County-wide records name brown trout, rainbow trout, white sucker and brook trout. The county list is broader than any single water. Little Bob Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 48°F, the coldest about 16°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Winter locks it down, and mid June brings it back. Open water usually runs from mid June until about early November. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Little Bob Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. For a change of water, Horseshoe Lake is 2.3 miles distant. Treat Little Bob Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
