Well you can starting Jan. 01, 2010! ...and made some restrictions for the better to boot! Now we just need some hard enforcement year round and maybe fish (walleye) populations will return to numbers of years past. I grew up in Peterborough and the lakes and rivers aren't the same today. Muskie populations seem higher than I remember though. Most people just catch and release them anyway, but they do suffer higher than average post release mortality rate. The year-round Pike fishing isn't a big deal since there aren't many lakes with Pike... I've always found this strange since most lakes that surround the tri-lake area has pike. Maybe they don't like the coon-tail.

The cross symbols on that map are indeed rocks. I spend quite a bit of time on that lake and I know those rocks well. The one directly below the name Wolf Island is marked, but the marker is difficult to see in open water. The map only marks hazards close to the channel. Venture beyond if you dare... bwuahahahah!

My little bro lives on Upper Buckhorn and last summer we would take the 9.9 from Upper to Lower Buckhorn to camp and fish. If you want to Muskie fish, stay on Lower. If you want Largies move to Upper. If you want Walleye... good luck. Don't bother even going to Pigeon trailer or not if you have a small boat. The swells make for an uncomfortable fish and there aren't many places to hide.

Here's my opening day muskie. Special thanks to Mark and Paul for taking the pics since I had to wrangle this Muskie solo. Lower Buckhorn
