leaf4 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Posted July 8, 2019 Heading up to Brady lake for a weekend with a family friend who doesn't fish and staying at one of their acquaintances places in a few weeks, what they've been told is there's Perch, Bass and Muskie in the lake, it seems like with those 3 I should half expect walleye in there but I'm not sure, I haven't been able to find out much info on the lake in general, so if anyone has any information pertaining to the lake in general I'd be appreciative!
chris.brock Posted July 9, 2019 Report Posted July 9, 2019 I've fished it a few times over the years, it's a bass and muskie lake, I've never heard of walleye in there. It's a typical, smallish, fairly busy Haliburton cottage lake. I wouldn't expect big muskies either. If you're into exploring, there's more interesting stuff heading west on 118.

Expand Yeah I noticed it was on the smaller size of things, but was half planning on using it as a jumping pad to other lakes if there wasn't too much action there
chris.brock Posted July 9, 2019 Report Posted July 9, 2019 If your willing to travel a bit, there's plenty of lakes nearby. An interesting tidbit about Brady- I'm guessing about 50 years ago, I don't know why but the MNR decided to introduce muskie into Brady. The species took hold in Brady but also found their way into Anson Creek and unexpectedly also spread through the private lakes of Longford Township, Rainy, Big Trout, Big Duck etc. The property owners in Longford liked their bass fishing and weren't very happy to have muskie invading their lakes.

Expand Oh for sure, I'll have my 16 footer so nothing too cumbersome. I saw on the fishbrain app a few pics of bass and some musky caught there, most lakes in the area seem to be mostly bass centric

Seus Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 I use to live on Brady Lake. In the spring you can see the quite large Muskie in close to shore spawning. There is also catfish in the lake. Regard

singingdog Posted June 19, 2020 Report Posted June 19, 2020 Pike and 'eyes have been spreading through that whole chain of lakes for the past 10 years. Some monster 'eyes are being caught through the ice on lakes that were long considered trout lakes in the winter.

Expand My sister's boyfriends family has a cottage nearby and they have a certain type of trout that isn't found in many places apparently known as "Haliburton Gold" first time I ever heard of it but it's a heritage species. Kinda neat.
