Fishing near Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia
Lower Sackville sits in Halifax Regional Municipality, flanked by the Sackville River running practically through town and the Little Sackville River at its edge. The area is freshwater-focused, with the Sackville River drawing local anglers for trout and Atlantic salmon, and Murphy Lake — a short drive away near Mount Uniacke — providing a stocked, barrier-free fishery. Shubenacadie Grand Lake and Second Lake round out the nearby still-water options for bass and perch.
