Thanks. I actually picked up a contour map of Glamor from MNR a while ago. I'll give that a try.

I owned a cottage on Pigeon in the south end. If you want to fish the south end, you should try the channel out in front of the boat launch at the end of Mallard Bay rd. There are bogs out in the middle of the lake and if you fish the channel from the most northernly end of the bogs toward the south you should have some luck. A lot of people fish the channel just north of that but I find there's so much pressure there that it's tough to catch fish. I have the most luck with fluorescent orange twisters and a weedless jig head. I just drop fish it in the holes and on the outside of weed beds and let it sit for at least 10 sec before moving it. Good luck.

Has anyone ever fished this lake? I've heard there are lakers, walleye and smallies and I've also read that splake were once stocked here. Any fishing stories? Ice fishing success? Thanks

Does anyone have any info on Salerno Lake or experience fishing in that area. Some of the other lakes nearby are Fortescue, Salmon and Crystal Lake. My wife and I are thinking about buying a cottage on Salerno and I want to make sure it has good fishing. I understand there are musky, small mouth and walleye. Thanks in advance.

If you're thinking about buying a cottage, here's a link to our advertisement: http://www.youronlineagents.com/carledward...ng.php?id=67924 We have a 3 bedroom cottage for sale on Pigeon Lake (224K). As I'm sure you know, the fishing on Pigeon is great. The cottage is in great shape, the property has loads of privacy, year round access and great neighbors. We're selling because my wife wants to be on a deep northern lake instead of the shallow lakes of the Kawarthas. We have some experience renting. The best thing about renting is that all of your expenses are a tax write off (mortgage interest, utilities, everything). Our total expenses last year were just shy of 9k. Our tax refund was close to 2k, so it cost us about 7k to own the property. Meanwhile, waterfront property has been increasing in value at 10-15%/yr. On a property that is worth 200k that's an increase in value of 20-30k. After the expenses, the asset has cleared about 15-25k. Over the long haul, investing is property is a cant-miss investment, especially waterfront with good access.
