landry Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I just went. Pics r below. I fish the lake weekly and love it. I am concerned but at this point it is too early to tell how bad it really is as there r very few open water areas. The spot by the restaurant where CTV was, has very little deep water so maybe fish were more vulnerable there???? I am cautiously optimistic. I only saw two bass in that pile, quite a few pike and tons of panfish and a few nice perch. The lake has a massive population of stunted panfish so if the bass don't get hit too hard, nature could balance things out and it could be a good thing in the long term. We will see this spring. Keep in mind that the Lake Association would love nothing more than to see public usage reduced on the lake so the statement regarding "avoiding fishing until later in the season" may be genuine or a self serving statement.

misfish Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 That's just nasty Landry. Not just one type of fish either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 It seems bad, but it's only a little worse than usual, in actuality. Usually the snappers, muskrats, beavers and otters are out full force by now and clean up the mess. This year we have to wait for aquatic bacteria to do it in 37 degree water.. it's gonna look bad.

Maverick Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I dont know the lake, is there much ice fishing done on the lake? You would think all the ice fishing holes would provide some oxygen, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think all the ice fishing holes would provide some oxygen, no? For this lake it is more a problem of aquatic weed dieing off and using all the dissolved oxygen in the decomposition process., As a child I use to swim across the lake for fun and if I needed to rest the weeds would hold you up there are so many of them. The majority of the lake is very shallow so the amount of dissolved oxygen is limited to begin with. All of the ice fishing (or most of ) takes place in one smalls section of the lake around the only deeper basin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Chong Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Winter Kills are going to major this year because of the severity of the winter! In the Kawarthas, Mitchell's and places like Goose Bay on Sturgeon are going to be hit hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopheraaron Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 A local pond I fish for perch will regularly give up 100 fish in a morning, went this winter and didn't get a thing, think it could be gone for good, the whole thing is only 10 feet deep. Going to be an interesting spring that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
