Has anybody ever had any luck fishing at Bon Echo Provincial Park?
Is it worth taking some fishing tackle on our camping trip ??
Thanks.

I love that lake, but you'll probably die a ripe old age before you have enough 'fish stories' to fill a post-it note!!
I remember my old man walking across that little spot at the narrows (we're talkin' 40 yrs. ago ) and spending countless hours over a number of years tryin' for Wally's and I only remember him ever catchin' one!!
But it sure is a beautiful lake!! Get's a lot of fishing pressure, but I'll agree with Bucketmouth's advice on where to try. Also try Campbell's Bay in Northeast sector. If you've got the right equipment there's also supposed to be Lakers in there, can't attest to that, never tried.
Good Luck & enjoy the scenery, if ya have time take the walk up the trail to the top of 'Mazinaw Rock', it'll freakin' blow ya away!!!!

Thanks for the feedback guys.
We're heading up this morning and I guess I'll bring some bass stuff. I'll pst a report when we get back and let you know if I managed to catch anything.
