GBW Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hey all. I have some time today to myself to get some fishing in between my errands and with my travels I'll be passing Musselman Lake, Island Lake and be close to Lake Wilcox. Does anyone know if the ice is out there yet? Also, what one is best to fish from shore of course. And lastly do these lakes all have perch? Thanks!

GBW Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Oh and Preston Lake too, thanks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnsled Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Just checked with a co-worker and Wilcox is still frozen. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBW Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks. I guessed it was when I went by Island and Musselman and seen they were still solid... D'OH! looks like plan 'B' is going to have to kick in then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governator Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I don't know anyone who catches in Wilcox but it's probably your best best. Preston Lake is restricted to only residents of the community (With no motor ban in place). Musselman Lake is mostly private property so you'd be limited from shore but there is public access, off of aurora rd I believe you'll have to look it up (They also have a no motor policy).

Anatz Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I've been to lake wilcox a couple of times. At this time of year, you won't be catching anything yet. There is only one public access to the lake and no motor boats are allowed in there. Map of the area you can fish - If you're shore fishing, you are only limited to this one stand alone public dock. They don't put out the dock until the beginning of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmondrs Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Taking a detour to Brantford & trying the Holland might be worth the effort as well. BTW, a post or an e-mail on what conditions you find will be much appreciated. I'm planning on getting out that way this weekend. If you're up to it, do let me know.

GBW Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hey Os if I do get out in this rain I will let you know. As for this weekend, I might be able to hook up with you again on Sat. afternoon some time. It will have to be after lunch as I'm hosting poker night on Friday...

osmondrs Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Geoff, for the weekend, I'm thinking more in terms of getting out late Saturday afternoon & fishing in the evening (have to start putting in some work on the backyard!!). Wonder what the forecast is like... I'll look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 ok, time to bring this back to life... Os and I are going to hook up for some perch and or crappie but neither of us know the zone 16 area all that well to the North. The ice is out on the lakes I mentioned (well Musselman should be softwater now with all this rain) but there is no place to park there. Any hint's via this post or PM's would be great as I feel the skunk sripe on my back is getting worse! Not looking for any honey holes just a spot he and I can go and each get a fish or 2, thanks all!!!!! Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
