Anyone with Steenburg Lake experience?

[frozen-fire]

Hey,

 

My friend has planned a trip to a cottge on Steenburg Lake (Limerick township) in early June. According to the Guide to Eating Ontario Sportfish, the lake contains smallmouth and largemouth bass and also rockbass.

Bass are not in season yet, so do I expect to be aiming for rockies?

 

I'll be fishing from a canoe by the way.

 

Any help and advice is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Bass is closed..

Danbo Has it right... The lake is in Zone 15.

 

Bass is closed till the 4th Saturday in June. and it seems that is all that lake has in it....

 

Now comes the ethical part of it... Do you fish a Bass only lake during a Closed season when there is nothing else to target except rockbass?

been going there every summer for 20 years, sm,lm ,rb and small perch

there are supposed to be splake but we,ve never seen any

cottahe owners are not happy about some people driving in out of season

and pulling out lots of bass - may get a visit from authorities

otherwise a generally peaceful lake - pretty good canoeing

can't reall get lost!
