Bonnechere PP/Round Lake

[bow slayer]

I have a campsite booked at this park in August and was hoping to get some info on the park and the fishing in Round Lake. Any info on the park or lake would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I camped there a long time ago with my parents, did 2 three week stints over 2 consecutive summers. The beach is excellent and the fishing was passable. The park is located where the Bonnechere River enters the lake. The river had lots of smallish pike and there is a marshy delta at the mouth where I got some largemouth, The lake produced smallmouth, some walleye but good sized ones in the evenings and dad got a couple of lakers wire lining and I believe a whitefish as well. Dad liked using good sized chub minnows for walleye and in looking for small creeks to place the traps we hit on several small feeder creeks with excellent spec fishing for pan sized 10/12 inchers. If it is still much the same the women will love the great beach, take a canoe the river is a great paddle and the fishing in the lake is fairly tough but some good sized ones.

pretty much what dave said!!! round is a deep lake,180ft i believe,there is a small island out from the park on the left...did well for bass there,and yes big trout and walleyes but they can be very difficult to catch at times,water very deep,and clear...and cause its round and no real area for shelter...the lake can get very,very rough,so be careful depending on what size boat you have,round lake center will have your bait,and gas...good launch ramp...and a very nice park to be in have fun!! they also have maps of the lake there for you as well...cheers
