Lake George

Anglers know Lake George as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of New Brunswick / Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Lake George is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.

Fishing Techniques

• 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 Smallmouth bass

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

• For Pumpkinseed x green sunfish

  Fish near structure like submerged logs and weeds as these hybrids tend to ambush prey; vary your retrieve speed to find what triggers strikes.
