Trout Patterns: 
The main attraction for me is the trout. There are two types Specks and rainbows. I hear there is also browns but have not seen one. I should tell you that I trolled the whole lake a million times and drifted as many. And the end results were better from shore. There is a dam on the West end of the lake. You can drive right to it and park below it.There is a set of steel stairs right up to it. When you hit the top of the stairs the dam is on your left, turn to the right and walk 20-30 paces and then get comfortable and enjoy. I found the old blown up dew worm is best. Use a small trout hook and a couple of small split shot and cast straight out as far as you can cast. Let it settle and then take in most of your slack and lock your bail. As soon as your line goes tight, set the hook. You have to be fast as they hit hard and fast.
This is the best spot all year as there is a weed bed here. Now in the mid summer months also try closer to the dam with a worm or minnow under a bobber. Set the bobber about 6-8 feet from bait. A slip bobber works best, and only fish 15-25 feet from shore. You will catch bass, perch, rock bass, specks and rainbows here. If you have kids take them also because in summer they bite as fast as you can re-bait. The good fishing for the trout is Opening day to end of june. I have caught many 3-4 pound bass, a 6lb Rainbow and a 3 pound speck. I have been told that there have been 10 lb Bows and 7 lb Specks caught.
There is a public dock. My advice would be make a day trip and fish from shore you won't be sorry, but go in may-june. The lake is located on Grey road 13. It is near Flesherton and Owen sound. |
