gogu392 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 Hi There Folks, Any info about Binbrook Conservation Area? What kind of fish is there? I have read the website but I prefer a real past experince from there. Location of lake: http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&ie=UT...362549&z=12 Regards.
Spiel Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 ....Admittedly I have not fished it in a little more than two decades. But when I did pike, largemouth and walleye were the target. In fact we did very well on the walleye! During the last few years I fished there crappie were taking hold and to my understanding are now quite prolific in the lake. Not sure of this but I believe that the only crappie may be kept these days.
gogu392 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Posted September 15, 2008 Why only crappie may be kept? Was this lake overfish in the past?
Spiel Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 Why only crappie may be kept? Was this lake overfish in the past? ....Personally I have no idea. I think I heard it through the grapevine.
modny Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 i've fished it a bunch of times SO MANY CRAPPIE they encourage you to bring em home. i took home 50, me and my dads limit.
gogu392 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Posted September 15, 2008 What bait did you use for crappie? Thx.
Hooked Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 I caught my biggest Crappie there, caught it on a Big O in pearl. But I think most use micro tubes\jigs. Not sure if live minnows are allowed there or not? But that place has boat loads of Crappies, good Bass and Pike fishing to be had as well. Good luck.
uglyfish Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 Bass, both large and smallmouth in there, pike, walleye, perch, crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed, catfish and carp all inhabit the waters of the resovoir there. minnows are allowed. micro tubes work good for crappies, as said the preditory fish, bass pike and walleye are catch and release only to help re-establish healthy populations of the fish again. over fishing was a big problem and decimated the populations, crappie are extremely abundant there. but there are some big fish, i seen a 4lb smallie caught, and a 7lb walleye. prolly not much more then hammer handle pike, i seen a 3 or 4lb pike caught through the ice this past winter, but who knows, there could and very well may be a big one out there, its a huge body of water. not much for structure in the lake though. averages about 10 feet deep with a max of only 23 feet.
Healthnut Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 I was there, last summer with my son. I caught a real nice bass, using a hook and worm. It's a real nice place to spend the day.
gogu392 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Posted September 15, 2008 Thank you all for your answers. Tight lines.
Uncle Buck Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 lake is electric only, no gas powered motors, so keep that inmind if you're coming
modny Posted September 15, 2008 Report Posted September 15, 2008 i live close by so sometimes i go catch my limit of crappie and have a nice "shore lunch" at my place. haha the crappie tend to stay suspended in that lake, i've never had a sonor in there so i dont know what the bottom looks like.. usually i just drift accross the lake with some micro tubes, in pink, white, blue or combo's of both. cya
hi09 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Posted October 26, 2010 im going to bibrook this weekend...im a beginner fisher, considering the weather is crappie still the primary hit... any bait shops int he area where i can get these mico tubes.. any suggestions on how to rig the microtubes?

miller Posted October 26, 2010 Report Posted October 26, 2010 tons of crappie in there, there some big bass in there as well. i've only landed one hammerhandle pike in there so far and have yet to catch a walleye but i just started fishing there this year. there are some real nice slabs in there though
vinnimon Posted October 26, 2010 Report Posted October 26, 2010 Most have stated whats in the lake, the fishing is good. But better is your in a boat. I usually troll worm harness and crank baits, with plenty of success.A nice park to enjoy and very well maintained.
Gerritt Posted October 27, 2010 Report Posted October 27, 2010 I remember when we used to stay there in the trailer park..... ahhh the good old days! Now only boy scouts can camp there... G
