The availability of smelt for the walleye means that walleye will often ignore anglers’ offerings, which can be frustrating.

However, one of the ways anglers have worked around this is to fish when the fish are more active, namely at night. Walleye tend to be far more active at night, and while this can be inconvenient for anglers, it can result in higher catch rates.

Generally, anglers have discovered that the eastern basin is the most productive. That said, the western end can be great as well.

On that side of the lake, Try fish-

ing f r o m mid-July through September, rather than the earlier spring and later fall.

For those anglers who are more interested in fishing during the daylight hours, bass and pike are the usual targets. Early spring is best for pike. During the summer is when the bass fishery gets going.

“Baptiste Lake is part of a large 3 lake system, and Elephant Lake [which is part of the same system] used to be known for the muskie,” reports Kathryn Wishlow from the Bancroft Bed and Breakfast.

“The system is beautiful and intricate, with certain deep spots and shallows marked on maps available at the Bancroft and District Chamber of Commerce (located in the restored train station a block from the Bancroft Bed & Breakfast).

“Nowadays, pike, pickerel, bass and lake trout seem to be the most commonly caught. We have a local Fish and Game Club, and the reknowned North Hastings Fish Hatchery works closely with the MNR (Ministry of Natural Resources) to restock local species.”

Grand River T

hree rivers in one, with access to incredible openwater fishing: such is the Grand River from north of Waterloo down to Dunnville and Lake Erie. The Grand River has three major sections, each with its own unique character. Anglers can fish separate parts of the river all year long, for different species.

The top of the river, from Belwood Lake and the Shand dam, through Elora to Waterloo, is cold and clear. The water quality is ideal for brown trout.

Larry McGratton, President of Friends of the Grand River, describes the Grand River as “friendly.

It’s a very wade-able river. It’s not that deep, and though there are some pockets, a lot of it is meandering.”

He notes that there is a lot of fly fishing in that area.

“Keep in mind the Southern Ontario bug hatches,” he advises. “When in doubt, Caddis, Caddis, and more Caddis! Typically you’ll use smaller sizes, from #14 to #20.”

Mike Pettigrew, owner of Caledonia Bait and Tackle, says that the cold water really helps to maintain the quality of the brown trout fishery.

Jason Barnucz, Biologist and fishing guide with BAER Fishing Adventures, says that brown trout will go for insects. Also, since the Grand River has such great forage opportunities, anglers should “look at Streamers to imitate larger minnows. The river is so nutrient-rich, which creates wider diversity.

Browns will chase down minnows here.”

The middle section, from Waterloo to Brantford, is really a mix of opportunities. There are some walleye and pike, and a lot of smallmouth bass. Barnucz notes that the section around Brantford restricts anglers to single barbless hooks. Topwater and surface flies are evident, with a lot of larger Streamers. He also says that this section really lends itself to spey fishing.

Barna Robinson, owner of BAER Fishing Adventures, adds that anglers can’t u s e

live bait in this section. BAER uses a drift boat for their guided trips on the middle section of the river in conjunction with Grand River Rafting.

The lower section of the Grand River is one of the most interesting river habitats in Canada. You can do everything there, from boat fishing to wading, conventional lures to spey casting.

Pettigrew and Barnucz say that the clay soil there makes the water more turbid. “It isn’t muddy,” says Barnucz, “it’s full of life, and there are tonnes of fish down there. Lots of anglers will target fish on scent there. In the Dunnville area, you see a lot of multispecies anglers.”

Pettigrew says, “In the lower river, you can do a lot of different types of fishing, too. You can wade, kayak, canoe, and fish from shore. Carp fishing is really taking off in the lower section, especially with those who fish from shore.”

Both Barnucz and Pettigrew are enthusiastic about the channel cat fishery in the lower end. “Channel cats will get upwards of 15 pounds,” Barnucz says.

“They thrive in the warmer water of the lower section,” Pettigrew says, “and it’s a phenomenal fishery.”

Pettigrew says that another amazing fishery is for mooneyes. “They’re a June and July fishery. They’re easy to catch, but they fight hard. Fly fishers really like fishing for mooneyes, and this fishery has really surged in the past ten years.

BAER Fishing Adventures has a fleet of kayaks that are specially built for fishing, a very low-impact way to fish the river. Get up close with the fish and experience angling in a whole new way! See them at baerfishingadventures.com.

Caledonia Bait and Tackle has everything you need for your fishing trip, from flies to gear to outfitting. Their family-owned business is also a member of Ontario’s Tackle Share Program, where youth and new anglers can borrow fishing equipment. Find them on Facebook or see their website at caledoniabaitandtackle.com.

Larry McGratton, President of Friends of the Grand River, encourages anglers to become members, to have a stake in the health of this highly prized river system. Along with volunteer fish stocking, FOGR has been instrumental in improving access points (some of which are labelled on the map) and amenities from canoe racks to picnic tables and comfort stations. Keep up with them on Facebook, and see their website at friendsofthegrandriver.com Watch for our expanded feature on the Grand River on our website later this summer at anglersatlas.com!

Kamaniskeg Lake 3,375 Hectares (8,340 Acres)

K

amaniskeg Lake is long and deep with lots of good depth and contour. The lake supports a great fishery for both small and largemouth bass, as well as some decent-sized pike.

Reportedly, there are also walleye and lake trout in Kamaniskeg Lake. This diversity appeals to anglers of all skill levels and tastes.

24 metres (80 feet)

Lake trout and walleye tend to prefer cooler temperatures, and the deep sections of the lake provide plenty of that.

Keep in mind, though, that while they prefer the cooler water, they may not necessarily be actively feeding at those depths. Walleye tend to feed more heavily at night and in cloudy and windy conditions; at those times, surface and shallow depths will be more productive.

Rice Lake Rice Lake is fairly shallow, with abundant areas of weeds and sand flats. This makes for some rich fish habitat. Rice Lake is best known for its bass, walleye and muskie, while panfish and carp are rapidly growing in popularity. All of these species thrive in Rice Lake.

Rice Lake is known as the most prolific lake in Ontario. “Anyone who fishes will catch something,” says Lloyd Moore from Angler’s Retreat. Greg Elmhirst, from Elmhirst’s Resort, adds that the lake structure and ecosystem create perfect conditions for baitfish and panfish, as well as larger sportfish. “There are so many weedy bays, and lots of interesting shoreline that make great habitat,” he says.

“

Southview Cottages is one of several resorts around Rice Lake. They say that there’s as many as twenty tree-covered islands scattered about the lake, and even an old sunken railway in the lake bed, which the bass are particularly fond of for the hiding places it offers them. Elmhirst and Moore both add that many anglers catch bass and walleye right off the docks, because the structure gives them cover.

Anglers should try the areas around Sugar Island for spring walleye. Moore suggests Rubber Worms, Jig Spinners, Crankbaits and Spinnerbaits. In summer, the walleye will head deeper. Try some of the great spots along the northwestern shores, trolling slowly with a chartreuse worm harness in about 20 feet of water.

Muskie also thrive in Rice Lake. Remember the weeds and use them to your advantage. Cast along the weedlines with large bucktails, especially on windy days.

Elmhirst suggests that anglers will have a great time going after panfish, which can be caught in large numbers, year-round.

Crappie, perch, sunfish and rock bass are all popular with local anglers.

He also notes that carp are definitely on the radar for Canadian anglers who want to take advantage of this exciting fishery.

“

Cast along the weedlines with large bucktails, especially on windy days.

Rice Lake can be accessed from Peterborough, directly south along County Road 35 and County Road 2. Numerous access points are available around the lake, as well as plenty of accommodation options.

Buckhorn Lake Try Wolf Island in the north or Scollard and O’Rielly Bays in the south.

“

Buckhorn Lake is part of the Kawarthas’ Tri-Lakes system, which is comprised of Buckhorn, Pigeon and Chemong Lakes. With hundreds of kilometres of shoreline, islands, bays and shoals, these lakes are rocky, sandy and weedy, and nutrient-rich, everything that fish love.

The manager of Scotsman Point Cottages says that Buckhorn Lake is becoming known for its tournament and derby fishing, as well as the fabulous recreational fishing. The resort is hosting several tournaments in 2017, including the Fishing League Worldwide, which is a prestigious multi-level bass event with thousands of dollars in prize money.

Louis Melizan from Three Castles Resort says that bass fishing has even overtaken walleye in popularity. Weed growth has increased, improving fish habitat, not only for bass, but also for several species of panfish.

Another fishery gaining in popularity is carp. In the past, most of the anglers fishing for carp in Canada have been Europeans, who often invest a great deal of time and money chasing the fantastic carp in Canadian lakes. This is beginning to change, as Canadians also catch on to the thrill of the sport.

Carp are terrific fighters, and when you hook one, you know it. They don’t come in easily, testing an angler’s skill and patience. One of the best times for carp is also when fishing for other species is closed; in early spring, right after ice-off, expect to encounter some hungry fish. They feed voraciously, and can be particularly fond of corn.

You’ll also want to get in on the muskie fishery in Buckhorn Lake. Muskie Canada hosts derbies here twice a year. In the early season, shallow weedy bays are good bets. Try the areas up around Wolf Island in the north, or Scollard and O’Rielly Bays at the southern end. These are going to be good spots for bass, as well, and as muskie will target smaller fish, it can be worthwhile to imitate bass and smaller pan fish with your lure presentations.

Buckhorn Lake is northwest of Peterborough, along County Road 23.

Chemong Lake Chemong Lake is a gem among the amazing Kawartha fisheries.

“

Rick Daniels, owner of Chemong Lake Fishing Charters, says that Chemong Lake really is a four-season fishery, though the best time is the fall. The fish become more active as the water cools, and Daniels notes that “bodies of water that always seemed [busy] ... are now wide open for you,” he says. Both on the water and from shore, you’ve got lots of space for fishing. Even better, the fish are feeding for winter.

Lloyd Moore, owner of Angler’s Retreat on Rice Lake, says that Chemong Lake’s shallow, weedy areas provide excellent fish cover and also ramp up the nutrient level in the lake.

The water in a shallower lake such as Chemong will cool off faster than in deeper water, and can hit that fall fishing prime time earlier into September and October. Daniels reminds anglers that if you’re targeting weedy areas, stick to the green weeds, avoiding dying vegetation, which is “not fish friendly,” he says.

He advises that for walleye, anglers should pay attention to the light conditions. Walleye prefer low light, cloudy days, early mornings and later evenings. Daniels suggests a four inch blue Rapala or a similar type of lure, trolled very slowly.

On bright days, try anchoring just beside the deep edge of a large weed bed and toss a plain hooked minnow in with a short leader. For best results the minnow should be about 3 inches long, and hooked just slightly below the dorsal fin so it can swim freely. If the minnow does expire, you can transfer it to a jig and work the lure.

Moore notes that there is a healthy muskie population in Chemong Lake. “If you’re targeting muskie, chances are you’ll catch them,” he says. “Keep in mind that there are minimum sizes for muskie,” he adds.

Both Moore and Daniels highlight the excellent fisheries for bass and panfish, as well. Both largemouth and smallmouth bass thrive here, and by the time the walleye fishing is slowing down, the bass are becoming more active.

Daniels says, “Bass are predominantly an ambush type predator and can be caught almost any time of day or night under almost any conditions.”

The type of habitat varies for largemouth or smallmouth bass, with largemouth bass preferring to hang out in weedier drop off areas where there are bullrushes or lily pads.

Smallmouth bass, on the other hand, generally prefer rocky points, shoals, and underwater structure.

Daniels suggests that “spinner baits, in line spinners, crank baits, artificial worms, real worms all work well. I have caught a number of giant bass recently with just a plain hook and free swimming minnow with just enough weight to take it down when needed.”

Moore adds that even plain cane poles with a line on the end can be productive. In a lake such as Chemong, anglers don’t need to work very hard to see results.

“

Anchor beside the deep edge of a large weed bed and toss a plain hooked minnow in with a short leader.

Access to Chemong Lake is right from Peterborough along Chemong Road which becomes County Road 18 into Bridgenorth.

Katchewanooka Lake

“

Anglers target carp in warm, calm waters in September and into the fall.

“

Katchewanooka Lake is one of the region’s best places to target carp. These hard-fighting fish are very popular with overseas anglers, who travel to Canada specifically for this fishery. The sport is beginning to catch on with Canadian anglers as well, and Katchewanooka Lake is an excellent example of a thriving carp fishery.

Mike Williams, owner of Lakeside Cottages on Katchewanooka Lake, says that the shallow water and good weed growth are what make the lake ideal for carp.

Peter Fischer, from Lake Edge Cottages, adds that the health of the fishery is directly related to the health of the lake. “Katchewanooka Lake is a shallow, warm-water lake, and it’s got a fair current running through it, bringing lots of nutrients,” Fischer says. With both rocky and sandy areas, and several weedy spots, Katchewanooka Lake has everything that fish love and need.

Sholeh Nowroozi, from Katchawanooka Resort, says that they typically see anglers targeting carp in September and into the fall months.

While they prefer to be out of the main current of waterbodies, they can often be found in areas that offer both calmer waters and access to their main food source, which are crayfish and worms or small insects.

That said, they are also quite adaptable, and will eat just about anything.

At times, such as ice-off, carp feed. A lot. They eat like vacuums at times, and have a particular fondness for corn. At other times, such as in winter, they’ll barely move, and you’ll wonder if the tales of these fighting fish are simply fabricated. Try your luck in early spring and into September, though, and you’ll see what all the fuss is about. Williams says that carp fishing is best from late spring into the fall.

Anglers from the United Kingdom know that carp are heavy fighters. They’ve been compared to a block of cement with fins; once you hook one, you know it.

Carp can be huge, and yes, they fight hard, making a dive for cover once they’re hooked. This can challenge anglers, who can often get twisted in the debris. As well, carp have very soft mouths and large hooks won’t necessarily stay in place. Serious carp anglers have serious carp-specific gear, but for those who are just trying out the sport, we suggest small hooks and strong line.

Katchewanooka Lake also supports thriving populations of other fish species such as walleye, smallmouth bass, and largemouth bass.

Both smallmouth and largemouth bass are popular mid-summer targets, both by boat, and right from fishing docks, Fischer says. He sees anglers using all sorts of lures, from casting topwater lures, crankbaits and spinnerbaits, to hand-tied flies.

Katchewanooka Lake has several shoals and islands, and the areas around Second and Third Islands, or in the north end of the lake, can be other good starting points.

Katchewanooka Lake is accessed through Lakefield, just north of Peterborough.

long, narrow body of water on Lake Ontario’s north shore, Bay of Quinte in Prince Edward County is a popular destination for walleye, bass, pike, crappie, and panfish.

Walleye in particular are very popular among the anglers who visit Bay of Quinte, especially i n

While being one of the best species to target during the winter, it is spring and fall that produce the most action. Jason Fudge, pro staff of Canadian Tire Belleville swears that fishing at night is the best time to target these fish, and the fall is your best bet for pulling out a trophy sized fish.

Further along the Bay, the Napanee area is a great place to look for walleye and pike. The fish tend to pool near the mouth of the Napanee River, making this a great spot for fishing.

Early morning during fall and spring tend to bring the most success.

Bass are found in abundance throughout Bay of Quinte, however the Trenton area houses some of the best bass fishing. Largemouth bass are more of-

should look for d e n s e w e e d growth and underwater structures such as rock piles, shoals, and islands. Fudge recommends Belleville Bay along the weed edges. He notes that the best place for smallmouth bass is in the Trent River, a tributary to the Bay, located in the town of Trenton.

turgeon Lake is another one of the Kawartha Lakes located just north of Peterborough. These lakes are excellent for fishing, combining great catch rates and easy access.

Justin Brown, local angler, says that Sturgeon Lake has always been one of his favourites. Apart from the great variety of fish species, “the type of vegetation that grows in this lake is so vast that with every cast you could be catching a trophy fish.”

Sturgeon Lake is known for its bass fishing, particularly in the channels between lakes. In Sturgeon Lake itself, muskie and walleye are more abundant.

Along with perch, some of the best fishing comes from the whitefish and the lake trout. These large fish are both stocked, and are plentiful.

LAKE ACCESS

ix Mile Lake, alongside Six Mile Lake Provincial Park, is a popular spot for fishing, as well as other aquatic recreation.

F

rom Barrie, Six Mile Lake is about 65 km north along Highway 400. There is camping in the park, and other accommodation options nearby.

The most popular sport fish in Six Mile Lake is bass, though there are reports of walleye, muskie and pike as well.

If you are going after bass, look for rocky shoals and drop offs. Early morning and later in the evening tend to produce better results, perhaps because the lake is popular during the day with other types of activities.

Bass tend to prefer warmer water, and summer is the prime time to fish for them.

While smallmouth bass are often found in gravelly or sandy areas, largemouth bass will look for cover such as rocks and submerged vegetation.

For both types, lures should imitate natural prey. Bass feed on crayfish, leeches, minnows and night crawlers.
