About Bissett Lake

Set in Nova Scotia, Canada, Bissett Lake is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area. Anglers fishing Bissett Lake usually focus their effort on transitions: the edges of weed beds, points that stick out into deeper water, and the shaded sides of any inflow. Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Smallmouth bass

    Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

  • For Yellow perch

    When perch are finicky, downsize your bait or lure and use lighter line to increase your chances of getting a bite. Focus on areas near weed beds or drop-offs as they often hold schools of perch.

  • For Northern pike

    Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
