belwood conservation area

[northernpike56]

Hey all I will be hittin up belwood conservation area with my dad this weekend (tomorrow or monday), and I was wondering If I would be better off shore fishing the actual lake (probably beside the dam), or the river downstream of the dam? I don't have a boat, but i would really like to hook into some bass/pike/walleye. Would i be best off using jigheads with minnows/worms to catch the fish, or would lures (spinnerbaits, crankbaits) work? Any feedback would help me out a lot!

 

Thanks in advance

Last time I went fishing there in the fall the lake was gone!! I felt kinda foolish showing up at the launch with my BMT only to see a creek. Appairently they let the dam out... But that was a few years back so things may have changed.

Oh, I forgot about that... It is low now as well. Would I have better chances going to puslinch lake or guelph lake? I wouldent mind hooking into some crappies and perch as well

I wouldnt waste my time at guelph lake unless i had a boat, dont know about puslinch either you should do fine at the dam with minnow and worms, you'll probably get some catfish or rock bass if nothing else co-operates.

Don't go to Puslinch without a boat. The whole shore is private cottages except for a water skiing lessons shop. NO shore access except for the small lake called little lake connected north but that's really just a glorified pond
