Dow's Lake
Dow's Lake
Dow's lake is now filled. The pannies will be hungry. Great time to get your young ones out for a spring fishing trip. Any small hook with a honey worm, or small crappie jigs should work well. A slip bobber helps, or just any old plain bobber.

Re: Dow's Lake
Thanks for the info.
Re: Dow's Lake
I usually give it about two weeks for all the dead plant material, etc to settle out and the bugs and baitfish activity to kick into high gear for the hungry pannies and slabs. I'm circling the Victoria Day weekend, but if the weather stays as warm as it has been it might just be sooner.

The panfish are biting like piranhas beside the bridge over the creek now, haven't seen any crappie yet but there's lots of sunnies and the odd big carp cruising the shallows.

Re: Dow's Lake
Does anyone eat anything from there just out of curiosity?

Re: Dow's Lake
If you won't drink the water, would you eat the fish? Some people do eat the fish from Dow's Lake.BackwoodsFishing wrote:Does anyone eat anything from there just out of curiosity?

Re: Dow's Lake
I wasn't planning on eating any of them just wondering if anyone else did.
