Mazinaw Lake

[perodimi]

I'm taking my 11 year old son out of school next week and we're heading up to Bon Echo Provincial Park. It's on Mazinaw Lake and I was wondering if there is any decent fishing there and what species. I heard there was Pike, Bass and Lake Trout since it's such a deep lake.

 

Any suggestions and tips would be greatly appreciated.

Also has good walleye un it as well, I fished it in late July, when everything was open, walleyes were a little deeper than they would be now, fished walleyes at night smallies in the day. Walleyes were caught trolling taildancers with clipon weights and 14lb fire line, and walleye divers as well. Good luck also southend of the lake on the smarts marina produced most of the walleyes, as well as the sandbar on the southend as well right at the point where it drops off to deep water. Smarts marina has a map of the lake with some fishing areas listed as well as great icecream for you and your son.

you can get some big smallies and walleye fishing the narrows in bon echo just off the rock piles they come in there just before dark to feed on the bait fish try using black and silver and blue and silver rattlin raps they just love them good luck

Thanks Everyone,

 

I'm off today for some father son time and it would be nice if he experienced some pike action.

 

Cheers,
