What do you think about this one!!!!I've fished Nine Mile Lake for 30 years and there are only Large Mouth, Perch, Mud cats and Sunfish in the lake. 2 weeks ago I heard and saw the picture that someone fishing for the day caught an 8lb Pike at the end of the Lake. If this is true, where did the Pike come from? I know in nearby Morrison (the next lake SE), Pike have moved in over the last 5 years but most are hammerhandles. This lake is very far away and I doubt that Pike could move 10km through a swamp.Why an 8lber??? I'd expect a few snakes before a decent size fish. Could this fish have truly just migrated here, and why has only 1 been caught (that I've heard of)?JMac

Has anyone fished the Trent River east of the Hasting Locks? I'm looking at a few properties on the river but my only concern was if there is a healthy population of Musky, SM, and Walleye. I watched somone fishing from shore catching Gobys and I didn't think that was a good sign. The water was thick green with alge and I was hoping that it was just the time of the year. Any input would be helpful. Thanks,
