Lake Trout On Georgian Bay

[LegitFish]

What's the chance of catching lake trout on Georgian bay, if you've never caught one before?

[Guest gbfisher]

They are the most stocked fish on Georgian Bay So I'd say your chances are pretty good...

Where abouts on Georgian bay were you heading?

You may run into some naturals in that area, we use to release those and just keep the stockers.You can tell the naturals, there much darker and not cliped

Any one know the restrictions for Trout around Killbear Provincial Park? Last time I was there, I saw signs saying something about no trout fishing. I was on a canoe at the south western tip. I paddle east a little, and met a couple of guys on a boat down rigging (for trout?)

 

I also looked in the regulations for Zone 14, but am unable to interpret the locations mentioned in the exceptions.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks.

Honestly you'll need a map. The waters (channel) are off limits for lake trout, not all trout/salmon. In the Sound expect moslty deep 100"+ water hence the downriggers. On the east side of Killbear you will see folks fishing - which is outside the protected area. The protected area is described in the regs - I couldn't do any better. The regs can be difficult to follow.

Could you help point out the restrictions using this map? Thanks

I've fished georgian bay but not for lake trout. sorry im unable to help

I know there are a few protected areas,it's one of the last places where there is a population of natural lake trout and there trying to protect the species.Natural Great Lake strains are pretty rare except on lake Supperior.

I have spent my life cottaging the area. I wouldn't mind knowing the same thing that you are after. I have gone out to the bay for other fish, but I have never crossed the highway to fish for lakers and always stay inland for them. I would be interested to make that attempt if I knew a little more detail about the where/when/how's. Hmm. I have the small craft nautical charts for severn to the sound, but it challenging to see fish swimming around on a paper map ... unless you are an artist and sketch them in. I'm thinking it's easier to spin the bottle on the map and go to whatever location it points to.

Drop a lure on any shoal in the big sound and hang on.....more fish than you can shake a stick at....it should take no more than 35 seconds to hook a laker there.

I'm still confused over this - after fishing there 2 summers where I thought I was safe once again I'm unsure. I thought that the 'triangle' formed by the Killbear lighthouse, Depot Harbour marker and some other point was a 'fish' zone... I could better interpret the Reg's if I new where Cadotte Point was and the Nias Islands..... I think. Anyone know this yet?
