Little Mitten Lake is not individually listed in the Region 4 synopsis, so the regional stillwater default applies: trout daily quota 5, no more than 1 rainbow over 50 cm. A freshwater licence is required for anglers 16 and over. Confirm the current synopsis before you fish.

No FISS bathymetric survey is on file for Little Mitten Lake, so its depth and surface area aren't yet confirmed. It lies close to the similarly named Mitten Lake, about a kilometre away, and to Bittern Lake to the south, all three tucked into the same stretch of the upper Columbia Valley near Parson, between the Columbia River and Spillimacheen River drainages.

Little Mitten fishes as a put-grow stillwater: rainbow trout go in as small yearlings and grow on the lake's natural forage before anglers catch them, so the fish in the net any given summer are one or more seasons removed from the truck. Go Fish BC's "tricky to fish" note points to a lake that rewards working structure rather than blind casting; that means a chironomid fished slow under an indicator over the shoals, and a balanced leech or Woolly Bugger worked along any drop-offs. The stocking record below is the closest thing to a fishing report this lake has.

Little Mitten carries 34 recorded releases of rainbow trout between 1983 and 2026, totalling roughly 26,000 fish. The modern program is consistent: 500 Pennask-strain yearlings dropped every year from 2006 through 2026, twenty-one years running, averaging 5 to 13 grams at release. Before that, the lake ran a fall-fry program through the 1990s and early 2000s, 1,000 to 2,500 fry a year across several strains, with a gap between the first recorded release in 1983 and the resumption of regular stocking in 1993. The full year-by-year history is below.

No confirmed public launch, trailhead or parking area has turned up for Little Mitten Lake; the only located reference places it near the community of Parson in the upper Columbia Valley, close to Bittern and Mitten lakes. Confirm the access road and any seasonal restrictions locally before planning a trip.
