Mark Riesenbeck Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 Greetings. I'm newly registered, but have been reading this forum for several years. I live in southern Ohio, but fish Ontario every chance I get (usually one or two weeks a year). I've been checking out the website for Mountain Home Lodge on Red Cedar Lake near Marten River, and am considering taking my group there next June. Has anyone stayed at that camp, or fished that lake, that could recommend or warn against either. If anyone has a suggestion for a camp/lake in that general area (about 3-4 hrs. north of Toronto), please let me know. Thanks for any suggestions. redsfan

TennesseeGuy Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 Only 18,018 Red's fans watched "our" Reds put the broom to the Cardinals today. I came close to being there last night and today.
kipdynamite Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Here is a link to a thread on Red Cedar Lake: http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...mp;#entry166039 We are heading to Mountain Home Lodge for our second consecutive walleye opener. The cottages are nice and clean and the owners are very hospitable.
Muskieman Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Red Cedar is a great northern lake , alot of "don't wanna bust yer bubble" SLOT sized walleye to be had, last season I had a real hard time keeping a snack for shore lunch my wife and I managed to keep 3 of 16 fish, a 22" is common.... opening weekend 'til mid June is best and the Eyes are easy to catch. BEWARE of "Big Northern Pike" 15lbs is common.... on average the catch is over 5lbs. BEWARE of ROCKS..... the bottom of that lake is up & down... Red Cedar wasn't always a lake it's man made by dams.... Just because there isn't a JUG floating in the lake to tell ya there's a rock there...doesn't mean there isn't a rock there ... they seem to grow during the winter ... you might be in 35 feet one second and the next you've just ran a-ground...tons of deadheads too they used to run logs through there for the lumber mills. I live 35 minutes away and fish Red Cedar very often. If you have a Canoe you might wanna take advantage of MNR stocked Brook Trout & Splake..lakes up towards hwy 11... 5 minutes from Mountain Home Lodge... good luck on your quest .... You might also wanna consider Lake Tomiko....VERY VERY good for walleye 'til mid June. Randy.
Corey Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 Sorry, I've never been there, but fishing up that way is good.
sirfish Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Hey Redsfan, you can't go wrong with MHL. Been there bout 5 times over the years caught good size walleye and pike. They should have one of the better maps of the area. I think I have one around here somewhere that is laminated. They are good people there and should take care of you and your party.

BEWARE of "Big Northern Pike" 15lbs is common.... on average the catch is over 5lbs. I'm glad to hear this report from someone who knows the lake. Last May was the first time we fished Red Cedar and we did OK for walleye. But I think this was mainly due to the weather. It got real cold, real fast on Saturday night until the sun peeked out on Sunday afternoon. At least that's what I'll blame it on! We mainly fished the southern portion of the lake, not far from the access to MHL. Thinking of giving the northern portion some more attention. Any recommendations?
