464-acre lake near New Maryland Parish. Government of New Brunswick lake depth survey. The lake tops out around 36 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Little Kedron Lake draws 464 acres inside 4.9 miles of shoreline. Index 1.6 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Roughly 58% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 1.9 mi end to end and 0.6 mi across at its widest. The water lies in York County. For a second option, Big Kedron Lake lies 2 mi southwest.
Spring puts smallmouth bass in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 11 to 36 ft. Winter smallmouth bass concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 24 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Ned rig, Tube jig |

Early season chain pickerel use the shallows, holding in 2 to 10 ft. Expect a summer slide to 3 to 15 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 18 ft.

Tie on a weedless spoon + trailer or a buzzbait and you're in the game.
