Joeytier Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Lots of water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carp Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I haven't fished Red Cedar for a few years, but the water levels are up in most lakes. Look for walleye around river mouths. Trolling at dusk caught a few fish for some other anglers that were staying in the cabin next door. As far as black flies.......damp/wet spring = lots of black flies and mosquitoes. I have a couple of friends with cottages in Haliburton/Muskoka. One of them was up at his place about a week ago and said the black flies were really bad. Not surprising.

WeePished Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 We are heading back this year the first weekend of June for the week and the reports I have been hearing about the black flies have been real bad. I know the water levels are up, unlike last year when they were down really low. No fishing reports as of yet but when I hear of something I will let you know. Hopefully it will be a productive and safe trip for all. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sconceptor Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 I've fished Red Ceder a couple of times when younger. I liked the lake. Fishing around the narrows always hooked into fish. From the Field side of the lake, there was a nice little island which trolling around always caught fish too. I'm camping in Marten River PP for a few days this summer. I don't know much about the river. If we can't find a good bite around the PP, we might take a boat over to Red Ceder and fish it for a while!!! Do you guys have anything good to say about Marten River? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Do you guys have anything good to say about Marten River? It's a nice campground! lol Have spent many a night in it... I'm trying to remember the site number that has a private launch that we always camped on with the motorhome. 54 I think.. I'll check the campground reservation site to clarify. Directly across from the campsites there is a weed bed that goes from the Bailey bridge to the next point to the South (it's the bay you see from the highway just before pulling into the park). I've always had some luck along that weed edge. The best pickeral I ever caught there in all the years came from trolling under the bridge. Picked it up from the deep hole that not many know about.. the water flows under the bridge and then tumbles into a hole on the NORTH side of the brige. Other than that... it's a tough river/lake to crack! Here's a photo series on the river from the Rock Pine Motel in pic # 1 to the outlet dam into Red Cedar in #12 A couple shots of Red Cedar Lake Be careful not to get lost on it!

lunkerbasshunter Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 wayne great pics! Steve R my inlaws just moved up that way. about 10-15 minutes from there actually. I can tell you that the fishing has been decent but it is late this year so the bite is just starting to heat up. Should be in full swing when your up there. Be prepared for black fly hell. Althoguh there is some sun and heat coming most likely not enough to kill most of them off. Bring a bug suit! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
