LAKE ACCESS

rom Bracebridge, head north on Hwy 11 approximately 35 kilometres, and take exit 226 to the park.

Arrowhead Lake Provincial Park features camping, sandy beaches, and several kilometres of trails. Rental canoes, kayaks and bikes are available. Motorized boats are not allowed on the lakes within the park.

Arrowhead Lake is home to a good bass population. Some of the best bass fishing happens in the heat of the summer. While other species often tend to be more active during the spring and fall, bass prefer the warmer temperatures.

Near Arrowhead Lake, within Arrowhead Provincial Park, Mayflower Lake is stocked with brook trout. Brook trout are definitely cooler-water fish, and the depths of Mayflower Lake are a good habitat for the trout. Take some time to explore the rivers, the Little East and Big East. Fishing is excellent on these rivers, with trout and bass abundant. Both rivers tend to be slowmoving, and are good for a canoe or kayak. There are several put-in

Boat insurance. It’s what we do!

h m i c Lake has several claims to fame, one of which is its spectacular walleye fishing. Though they can be elusive, Ahmic Lake’s walleye are large in number and large in weight.

While bass and trout are also in Ahmic Lake, the big story is the big walleye. Past rehabilitation and stocking efforts have paid off with a now-thriving walleye population. There is also a healthy smelt population in Ahmic Lake. 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 fishing from 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. LAKE ACCESS

rom Sudbury, take the Trans Canada Highway South for about 150 km to Parry Sound. Take Exit 231 towards Sundridge and Highway 124. Continue on

Highway 124 to Cedar Croft Road. After about 43 km, turn right onto Ahmic St., and then, after another 10 km, turn right onto Ahmic Lake Road. Here, you can access Ahmic Lake Harbour, or, continue on to reach other locations. There are numerous accommodation options around Ahmic Lake, including resorts, campgrounds, and bed and breakfasts.

aptiste Lake is very large and has complex bays, shoals and shoreline. There are several species of fish present in Baptiste Lake, the most common being muskie and bass. There are also walleye in the lake, but they are reportedly more challenging to catch. “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 a n d Dis-

trict 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.” There are a few regulations to keep in mind for Baptiste Lake. The fishery for lake trout is open for a limited time, between May and September. As well, none between 40 and 55 cm can be kept. Please make sure you are familiar with the Ontario fishing regulations before heading out. The Bancroft Bed and Breakfast is open year-round, located in the town of Bancroft.

olden Lake has some beautiful depth contours that make it ideal for bass and pike.

Angler’s Atlas member adleach wrote several posts about Golden Lake on the Angler’s Atlas website: “I spent a few hours in the afternoon scouting the northwest stretch of the lake, from the Bonnechere River Launch Point to Brudenall Creek. The water temperature sub-surface was 56 degrees Celsius, wind direction was from the southeast, the sky was completely cloud-covered and the air temperature was below 20 degrees.

“I was targeting Pike. I was able to find several groups of fish on the sonar, most of which were either on the bottom or suspended over the bottom in 20 to 25 feet of water. “I casted spinner baits in 10 feet of water and jigged a north land forage shiner with only one strike.

Grand River

hree rivers in one, with access to incredible open-water 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.

BAER Fishing Adventures, adds that anglers can’t use 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.

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.

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.”

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 nutrientrich, which creates wider diversity. Browns will chase down minnows here.”

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.

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 o f

“They thrive in the warmer water o f

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

AnglersAtlas.com/OKTire

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. 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. The Madawaska River flows through the south end of Kamaniskeg Lake. This river also has excellent fishing for several species.

Please keep in mind that there are special sanctuary regulations

for sections of the river. Make sure you are familiar with the Ontario fishing regulations before heading out.

The north end of the lake sees its action mainly from bass, muskie and walleye.

Ice fishing on Kashagawigamog Lake can be exhilarating as well. The north end of the lake is great for walleye.

aliburton’s claim to fame is the fabulous Kashagawigamog Lake. This 16 kilometer long lake is part of a chain of great fishing lakes, including Soyers, Grass and Head Lakes.

Some anglers report that the muskie fishing in Kashagawigamog Lake (or Kash Lake, as it is sometimes called) can challenge anglers. The north end of the lake is probably your best bet, as is the area through the narrows into Grass Lake.

“This is a great lake trout lake but it also has walleye, small mouth bass and muskie. There is a dam where Twelve Mile Lake feeds into Mountain Lake, which is a great fishing spot. The walleye in the lake are very recent (and we are happy about it), and that is where they seem to be caught.

One of the most popular areas of the lake is in the south, around Cook’s Bay. It is shallow and weedy here, and provides ample habitat for fish. Jumbo perch are abundant, generally from January all the way through to mid-March. Try fishing in the early morning and later in the evenings with minnows and worms.

Sturgeon Lake S

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.

“Make sure you take your time navigating this lake. Be sure to follow the buoys because the very nice structure for the fish is not so nice for your boat’s motor. The lake has a lot of very good-looking vegetation and structure. This can make finding them difficult but don’t get discouraged quickly and don’t get hung up on a good looking spot. There’s tonnes of water to cover. “Be sure to bring a good assortment of lures, especially top water lures for bass or muskie. The thrill of having a fish blow up through the weeds is in-

comparable. The classic top waters seem to produce very well, such as Hula Popper, Knocker Spook, and a must is a top water frog of any sort. Weedless hooks are also your best friend. For walleye I like to use hair jigs but any vertical jigs worked just off bottom will work.”

LAKE ACCESS

rom Peterborough take Highway 18 north to the Trans Canada. Turn left (west) and follow to Highway 10. Turn right (north) to continue on Highway 10, then left (west) on Highway 14, and right (north) on Highway 7.

There is a boat launch on the southeastern side of the lake, just off of Snug Harbour Rd. Sturgeon Lake Marina is located further up the lake on the eastern shore, in Kennedy Bay. The Days Inn, located in Lindsay, is very close to Sturgeon Lake, ideal for a weekend or a week! Book them for your next trip out to Sturgeon Lake. Right on Sturgeon Lake, Somerset Cottages offer everything you need for a relaxing getaway. See the next page for details!

HAVE YOU SEEN AN AMERICAN EEL? The Ministry of Natural Resources would like to know if you see or catch an American eel. This is an endangered species protected under Ontario’s Endangered Species Act. In recent decades, the American eel has declined in numbers due to a variety of factors, including over-fishing, migration barriers, hydro facilities, habitat loss, parasites, and pollution. The occurrence of eels has not been well documented and you can help determine where they are currently. Please contact the Natural Resources Information Centre at 1-800-667-1940 to report this information.

NOTE: • S refers to to limits under a Sport Fishing Licence Tag. • C refers to limits under a Conservation Fishing Licence Tag. • All size limits refer to total length, which measures from the tip of the mouth to the tip of the tail. • This section does not act as a subsitute for Ontario’s fishing regulations.
