traceyk Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 (edited) Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice about fishing spots and best times of day to fish. I spend a couple of hours out in guelph lake today, I caught some sun....... but no fish and none bit. It was the first time my husband and I went out there so, not sure where to go. The lake seems very full, what do they like. I used worms, my husband was using minnoes. Anyone have some suggestions? thanks Edited May 31, 2007 by traceyk
Markystang Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 I'm not real familiar with Guelph lake, but I'll welcome you anyway!
Marko Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Try below the dam. There are some pike down there.
traceyk Posted May 31, 2007 Author Report Posted May 31, 2007 Thank you for the replies, and welcome. I'll try for some pike then, they are always fun. tracey
gb charters Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 Try Island lake in Orangeville, Lots of pike and Bass. Ask the staff for a map of the lake and some good sections to try. gb www.anglerspro.ca
BUSTER Posted May 31, 2007 Report Posted May 31, 2007 get a boat for guelph lake some nice smallies, no motors.....otherwise head to belwood for pike
traceyk Posted June 1, 2007 Author Report Posted June 1, 2007 I have a boat with a little electric trolling motor. Going after those pike this morning, wish me luck.
Canoe2fish Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 I asked at the gatehouse the last time there. They said the best spots for Bass was just East of the main beach (Away from the dam) and Pike was better up around the back of the lake where the Speed river enters. (For this part of the lake you can drive straight from the gatehouse and down the hill to the lake...I think you can launch here...used to be the old road) I don't catch anything anyway..so I can't tell you from actual experience,
joonmoon Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Hi and welcome to OFC. If you have a boat, try fishing along the brush of the island, or trolling around it. Many decent fish in there, keep trying and find your own fav spots too. A fishfinder can be very helpful in marking submerged structure and/or weeds.
Big Cliff Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Guelph Lake has smoe nice crappies and perch in it too, I would be trying some very small spinners or some small jigs cast around cover.
jediangler Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Buy the map at the gate. Fish the road beds and more specifically the ditches beside the roads. Try and locate the foundations of the farm houses and barns located on the map. Here are a selection of pics from Guelph lake taken over the last decade or so from my trips there. 35" pike taken on a football jig with a spidergrub around 12yrs ago. 13.75" crappie caught on a 1/16oz jig & grub combo 2 yrs ago. 19.75" smallie caught on a 1/8oz jig & grub combo 2 yrs ago. I've caught many nice largemouth there as well but the pics are not yet digitized.
bassmaster4 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 belwood has got some decent pike below the dam and in the lake there are walleyes being caught below the dam as well
Canoe2fish Posted July 5, 2007 Report Posted July 5, 2007 belwood has got some decent pike below the dam and in the lake there are walleyes being caught below the dam as well Walleyes??? Could you be thinking of Conestogo River /Lake instead? (They stocked that lake years ago...don't know if they took or not. I never heard that about Belwood)
