gone_fishin Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 a buddy of mine heard good things about Raven Lake... but i had never heard even heard of the lake before he mentioned it... anyone fished there before? i can't seem to find any information on the net about it either... what's in there? is it a pike or muskie lake, or is it mixed??? thanks in advance! g_f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 used to be big muskie many of the fishing shows filmed muskie shows there, I am pretty sure I saw the same muskie on most of their shows and I think I caught every muskie in there at least 5 times .. it is very small it is just a flooded gravel pit and some years ago a group of guys fished it every weekend for a whole summer and kept everything they caught I saw stringers of muskie hanging off the side of their boat it was never the same again last time I was there, there were only a few bass and a few perch... have not fished it in many years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_fishin Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 so going there for the muskie opener would likely be a waste of time??? lol. g_f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 unless in the last few years muskie have been stocked I would say no but I guess it is possible that some small muskie that lived and a grown up somewhat......... it has been a while for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dada2727 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I fished it last year and left without anything in the boat. Seen a few muskie, some say they are hybrids in there but I have never boated on to see for myself. The launch is pretty beat up, you need a 4X4 to pull a boat out of there on a trailer. I wouldn't recommend it, I'd head to balsam or another kawartha lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 so maybe it is coming back all the time I fished it, the trail just ran into the water and that's where you back the trailer in most times the truck was in the water so far I would have to walk in the water to get out of the truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dada2727 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I would say very far from coming back, like I said, over the last 5 years I've probably logged 40 hours or so and not one muskie. Hooked into one small one and lost it beside the boat a few years ago. The water is very clear and shallow, so they are very easily spooked. They are still in there, just few and far between and not a whole lot of size to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
