Fishing at G Ross Lord Park reservoir?

[winterwisp]

Hi there,

 

I'm new here and was just wondering if anyone has tried fishing at G Ross Lord park? There's a reservoir there and I drive by it everyday going to work. If anyone could tell me about it that would be great. I tried googling it and someone said people get mugged out of their gear? Its really close to me and I would love to know if its a safe spot with fish where I could spend a couple hours after work.

 

Thanks!

According the the guide for Eating Ontario Sport Fish it contains largemouth bass and rock bass

 

Yes, they have found a few dead bodies in the park over the years!

Yikes! I guess I shouldn't go there then. It's a pity because its the closest fishing place to me. I have to drive about 45 minutes to guelph lake to fish now.

I live relatively close to it and the park is safe. I know people used to catch carp in there.

That park has seen it's fair share of sirens. I remember when I was in high school some kid my age was beaten to death by other high school kids, and a few bodies have turned up. That being said, I walk my dogs there twice a week and I know for a fact its safe during the day.

 

I met a guy there who fishes it for carp, he seemed to think it was a great location for them, but I wouldn't know.

 

On a side note, how about that huge lake they are digging in downsview park, lets hope they stock it with some bass or bows!

I've seen carp, bullhead and sunfish caught there

Thanks for all the replies! I checked it out yesterday but didn't bring any corn. I've never fished for carp before (I'm still very new to fishing). I'll give it a shot again sometime this week.

 

Thanks again!
