Lunker777 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hey everyone A buddy of mine and myself are headed up North in a couple weeks to meet up with some old friends from College. We are going ice fishing for the weekend and have a camp on "Rocky Island Lake" Im not looking for any hot spots or secrets or anything, just curious is anyone knows the lake and could give me some feed back on what to expect! Thanks for any help ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Not that long ago it was almost completely dried up. Are you positive it's bounced back and there's enough water? (for those that don't know it's a reservoir) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutologist Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Was there in the summer a couple of years ago, seemed like plenty of water. OK fishing all small fish, We fished the SW end near the launch coming from Aubrey. Seemed like there was a few folks fishing all catching.

TDunn Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Had friends there may long of 2010. They did well with walleye and whitefish and to be quite honest arn't elite anglers... Im not to sure about the size but I would think a 12-16" average with a 24-25" fish being a big walleye for you up there. I'd be jacked to spend a few days on the ice there. There was a blurb about it in an issue of In-Fisherman Magazine as a North American hotspot but even around the Soo you don't hear to much about it. There isn't a lot of traffic on that body of water. It was drained at some point in the last decade but Im not sure when or for how long. Put it this way.....definitly on my list of walleye water I want to try around here... If I can scratch some more info up for you I'll let you know. I'd be interested in knowing about the roads tho....If they are plowed or not and how far in..... TDunn Edited January 28, 2011 by TDunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one had access to a snowmachine there's several other lakes in general vicinity that I know are better. On the other hand if I knew someone with a camp on the reservoir I'd go too.

What I would do for a camp almost anywhere up the 129.... Edited January 28, 2011 by TDunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do at least 1 trip for eyes off the sultan a year. Ive even stayed at Wakami...Enjoyed that but nothing beats those lakes that take some bush whackin!

Lunker777 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 We have sleds to use, so im sure I could suggest another lake to try for a day or something ! What lakes in particular would you say are worth going to ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
