Hello everyone,

First post and second year fishing. Most of my fishing is on the madawaska lake above the arnprior dam. I have had some success catching muskie (6 last year and 2 this year). I wanted to ask if anyone has caught or heard of anyone catching larger sized muskie in this body of water. All of my catches have been smaller sized muskies .

Thanks

JF

I've always wondered about that lake. Is there a public launch?

There are two Andrew, one at clay bank and the other just past the airport. Unfortunately they are both prime spots to get ripped off, it's been common there for years now.

Cheers

Thanks smitty

Madawaska Lake?

Pretty sure you're talking about the head pond of the Madawaska River.

Yup big Muskies in there for sure. Couple years ago a 50+ took down our chapter outing, caught trolling right in front of the dam if I remember corrctly. Last time I was there a local was asking about our day and saw we were Muskie fishing and proceeded to tell us of the 56" his Dad caught in December while jigging for walleye. Not sure I believe his Dad's tape measure, but I believe there's big ones in there for sure.

Good luck

Yes the headpond, and thanks for the information. Caught another small one this afternoon. Still have not broken the 30" mark but I am persistent and will keep on trying. Its nice to know bigger ones are in there.

Caught one a few years ago over the 50 inch mark and have seen plenty bigger there.
