Matt15 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Went fishing today on maple lake in the haliburton area. We were mainly fishing for musky. At around ten o'clock I had a fish on, right away I thought it was a musky since we were told there were no pike in this lake. When the fish finally revealed itself I couldn't believe that it was a northern. It wasn't what I was targetting but it is a personal best for me so i was happy. In the picture my dad is holding the fish. I regret not taking a picture with it but I wanted to get it in the back in the water. I forgot to measure it but i think its a respectable northern. matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banger Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Looks like a nice NP. If there is both NP & Musky in that lake, I would'nt be surprized if there was tiger musky in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostchild Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Interesting...is this the Maple Lake connected to Beech and Green Lake? None of the 6 or more lakes in that chain list having pike in them, in fact nowhere around Haliburton has any lakes with pike in them. (i know elephant and bastiste do, closer to bancroft) Anyhow, it is a very nice pike you caught there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt15 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 thanks banger and thanks lostchild for enlarging the picture. When we showed some of the locals the pics they couldn't beleve that it was from maple lake. It is the lake connected to beech and green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbayboy Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Nice pike - I'll take a surprise fish like that anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt15 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Thanks everyone, Tbayboy I thought the same. A surprise fish like that is better then catching nothing so it put me in a good mood even though I didnt catch a musky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
