Silver Dollar Area Ontario
5/21/04 @ 11:46 AM
Just interested to see if anyone fishes this area of Ontario. My group will be making it's 12th trip to the area later this summer. We stay at Moose Creek Camp about 8 miles north of Silver Dollar. We fish a number of different lakes in this area. Some of our favorites are Wintering, Sowden, Sturgeon, Young and Watcomb. I would enjoy comparing ideas and stories with fisherman who have spent time in this area. JEP

We had two days of no fishing, to windy. Probably the windest day i seen up there, no chance for trolling motor to hold. Even in a smaller bay. Fishing overall not the greatest, biggest Northern 41 inches cabin next door had a 45. A few 25 inche walleyes and tons of smallmouth. Weather had big say where we could go, so that is way fishing was down.
Yeah, I love to fish but the four letter word snow is one of the main reasons I no longer do the Ontario opener. Had some great fishing but also can remember one to many times having to shovel snow out of the boat, or subfreezing temps which kind of takes the fun out of it. I have found in addition to June trips that my August and early September trips are typically very comfortable weather wise compared to the opener and Memorial Day type trips. But hey any day fishing is a good day!
Fished Cobb bay for many years as well as the south end, but now I stay north of the Sturgeon narrows, Covney Island, East arm and all up the Northeast arm. Lots of lake for sure. enjoy. I have a couple of trips to different lakes to get under my belt before I head up to Sturgeon in August this year.
We've caught a fair number of perch over the years. The jumbos are usually caught while targeting walleye. However, from time to time I've stopped on weed beds and targeted perch for a while. I keep a small spinning set up in the rod locker just for em. Small hook and a bobber. I use gulp products for bait. Unless you have night crawlers, that would be the best. The hard part is catching big enough ones to Filet.
