Grand Lake

Grand Lake, in New Brunswick / Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada, is the kind of lake where a careful approach pays off.

Boat anglers can fan-cast points and submerged humps — anywhere the bottom changes depth quickly. Lure choice at Grand Lake usually mirrors the local forage: small baitfish imitations in spring, larger profiles through summer.
