ICE FISHING stoney or clear lake

[Lee705]

Anyone have any info on ice fishing on Stoney or clear lakes in the kawarthas, 

[bassman87]

Hello. I dont fish those lakes specifically but I reckon you'll have more responses if you formally introduced yourself and asked the question more specifically and politely. Goodluck

Just panfish.

I have not been to either but since they are Kawartha lakes ... it can be assumed they are the same as others I've been to.

Ice is quite thick now.  Probably close to the thickest it will be in the winter.  Many Kawartha lakes that are quiet, no current areas are over 12 inches ice.

Just like any Kawartha lake, you need to find public access spots and with navionics equipment see where to go that has the structure you are wanting.  But be sure that you know the water system or learn about it to ensure that location is a non-current area to have thick ice.

As mentioned above, in this Zone, only pan fish are in season.

I certainly don't want to encourage additional pressure on Kawartha lakes, but If we're being honest Pike is also open in zone 17.

Thanks for adding the info. 

But for those not overly familiar with the Trent Severn and particularly the OP's question, there ain't no Pike in Stoney/Clear. 

At least not that I've ever heard of ......

Agreed. I catch em in balsam though so its only a matter of time til they move through the system.
