MINDEN FISHING

[DMASSE]

Hello

 

My father and I are going to MINDEN tomorrow to look at some property that is for sale in the area. Apparently the land has a river that runs through it with a little dam attached.

 

My question is what kind of fish can I expect to find in this area, has anyone been fishing there and is it worth brining the fly gear for stream trout ( if any in the area)

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Dave

When I was there last to buy my white water kayak at Boatwerks on hwy 35 in Minden, there was a bait shop attached to the same building. I forgot their name, and I'm not even sure if they are there anymore. The kayak store is still there. They held all of the angling information to the area, so when you go through, stop in to talk to the guy. The Gull river that runs along 35 is a white water preserve and paddling park. It's almost impossible to fish because boaters are always paddling the white water, especially on the weekends. There are trout in there, I know that for sure. If the bait shop is not there, the paddling guys will know. The owner (Strano) is an avid local angler, especially for lakers in the surrounding area. Good luck!

Minden Bait and Tackle is still there. There are Smallmouth and Rainbows in the Whitewater section of the Gull River, and there won't be many Paddlers there on a week day...Great little bit of water to wet a fly, or drift a float.

If you want to fly fish for browns, go out furnace falls in irondale. If you want to fish musky on a fly rod try donald river near haliburton. Lots of bass in the gull river, they seem to swim in schools. the burnt river in kinmount hold nice walleye, musky and bass. The bottom of the whitewater reserve also holds rainbows as they were stocked in minden lake.

If you need any more info pm me as i live in minden.
