Thanks

I've fished that lake quite a bit in the last couple years. Theres plenty of trout in there, but don't expect anything bigger than 3 pounds. I hug the shore along the south side of the lake in 50' to 65' of water. If you wana catch a big one try fishing on Salmon lake

It's small and wall to wall with cottages, but it gets stocked every year so obviously there will be some little guys around at least

That lake has a slot as well and only one line through the ice as well !!! Please read the regs before you go !!!

[bigbuckzone]

Yes I should have mentioned that, it only applies to Salmon lake though, Fortescue is fair game for trout, open all year with no slot or line restriction. I usually fish Fortescue in the morning just as a "warm up", then head over to Salmon for the bigguns. Fortescue may be worth it this year if the little dinks from 2 years ago managed to survive. I havent had a look at the charts but I think they stock about 1000 yearly

Thanks for the great feedback and tips guys.

I am going in march. Will be a great time.

As long as you don't care much about accuracy The info about species is rarely correct for the lakes that I fish.

[fishindevil]

Yes that's true one of my lakes I fish in Haliburton for bass says there is no pike and well we catch several every year.... So it's def not 100% that's for sure ... I thinks it's just a general info that's all for more info its always best to call local boat shops or the local guys usually know best
