Cedar Lake, Ontario
"Well since this years trip is out the window I hope next year has a lot of fish." We've talked about this a lot. Pretty much 19 months of extremely low fishing pressure to mostly none at all. How will this affect fish behavior? There has to be thousands and thousands of fish that were not harvested due to the shutdown. If you know how to fish it's not hard at all to catch fish at Cedar but does this mean it might be even better for a year or two? We are counting the seconds to find out...
fishguidealso thanks for the input, we are anxious for our initial visit. I think we will be a mix of bringing our own boats and a couple of rentals. Love the top water bite so that's good news. We will attempt to break the lake down in chunks daily by boat so we get a quick overview and maybe develop a bit of a milk run after a few days. Also hope that the guys can locate some walleye, perch and crappie - sounds like a nice diverse fishery. We'll keeping checking back here as we'll want to gain as much knowledge pre-trip as possible. Do you fish this body of water often?
Thanks again
You will enjoy the fishing no matter which camp you stay at as Cedar has excellentmuskie fishing from one end to the otger as well as taking the trio into perrault lake.West end has the clearer water and gets stained as you go east.If you bring yòur own boats you could stay anywhere but if using camp boats than id say stay at clarks northern lights. Dont have to pay for a upgrade boat there and free bait. Muskies will be good with top waters as weed bite will be awesome.also need to fish reefs and a bit deeper as walleyes will be down deeper with water temps warmer.crappies are mainly in east end.
We are headed to Cedar for the first time the end of August 2020. We are not yet locked into a camp yet but are leaning towards Cedar Point based on location. That being said we have no clue where to begin our Musky Hunt but we like the central location of that camp. We would love to hear from some regulars about structure type for that time of year. In addition we have a couple guys who are intrigued by the Crappie and Perch reports - like to have a couple fish dinners while there.
Any input is very much appreciated - thanks!
