341-acre lake near North Lake Parish. Government of New Brunswick lake depth survey. The lake tops out around 10 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Liddle Lake draws 354 acres inside 5.3 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 2) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.5 mi with a 0.8-mi widest point. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: East Grand Lake, 3 mi west of here.
Start shallow in spring: smallmouth bass sit in 2 to 9.8 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 3 to 9.8 ft covers summer, 3 to 9.8 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for smallmouth bass in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 9.8 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Ned rig, Tube jig |
| Summer | 3 to 9.8 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 ft) | Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig |
| Fall | 3 to 9.8 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait, Blade bait |
| Winter | 3 to 9.8 ft | midday | Break off the point (4 ft) | Blade bait, Hair jig |
When the water first warms, chain pickerel slide up into 2 to 9.8 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 9.8 ft, winter 3 to 9.8 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 3 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a weedless spoon + trailer or a buzzbait rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 9.8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 2 to 9.8 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Weedless spoon + trailer, Buzzbait |
| Fall | 3 to 9.8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Jerkbait along weed edges, Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 3 to 9.8 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Jigging spoon (through ice) |
Come spring, look for yellow perch tight to the bank in 2 to 9.8 ft. Through summer count on 3 to 9.8 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 9.8 ft. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 3 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 9.8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 3 to 9.8 ft | dawn | Deep basin (8 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 3 to 9.8 ft | midday | Deep basin (8 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 3 to 9.8 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (8 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 9.8 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 9.8 ft, and they winter in 1 to 9.8 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 8 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 9.8 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 9.8 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 9.8 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 9.8 ft | dawn | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
In spring, white perch run shallow here, mostly 3 to 9.8 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 9.8 ft, and they winter in 3 to 9.8 ft. Summer white perch concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 8 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spinner rig drifted or a 1/8 oz jigging spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 9.8 ft | dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Summer | 3 to 9.8 ft | dawn | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small spinner rig drifted, 1/8 oz jigging spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 9.8 ft | midday | Deep basin (8 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Blade bait |
| Winter | 3 to 9.8 ft | dusk | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small rattle spoon, Tungsten + spikes |

Liddle Lake is about 9.8 ft (3 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, brook trout, white perch on Liddle Lake. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Main-lake point is the top-rated area: a point in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for smallmouth bass in fall. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For smallmouth bass, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
