Fishing in Kings County, New Brunswick

What this local map set contains

The Kings County directory currently covers 21 lakes or reservoirs. 15 charts use measured bathymetry from a published source; 6 charts are clearly labeled as modeled. Recorded maximum depths range from 9.8 to 144 ft, with a median of 36.1 ft. Those figures describe each chart's deepest recorded or modeled point, not a safe navigation depth.

Species records are attached to 21 of 21 waters. The most frequently cataloged targets are Brook Trout (21), Chain Pickerel (21), Smallmouth Bass (21), Yellow Perch (21) and White Perch (16). These are coverage counts, not abundance estimates or catch forecasts; open the individual map to see the evidence and seasonal context attached to that water.

Three useful maps to compare first

1. Loch Alva: 144 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 6 cataloged target species.
2. Seven Mile Lake: 75 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 6 cataloged target species.
3. Sherwood Lake: 57 ft maximum; survey-backed contours; 6 cataloged target species.

Start with a survey-backed chart when exact contour shape matters most. Use a modeled chart as broad planning context, then verify depths on the water. Comparing the three examples above also shows whether this area offers one dominant basin type or genuinely different shallow, deep, lake and river options. Access is separate from map coverage: confirm launches, shore rights, closures and posted rules before making the trip.
