Hey there,
I am heading up to Kirkland Lake in two weeks to a cottage on Round Lake. Has anyone ever fished this lake before? What type of species? Any hot spots?
Let me know.....

Round Lake
Walleye and smbass. Lived in Timmins but never fished it but by all accounts a good fishery. Sorry no hot spots to guide you to.

Hey Learnin' ,
I was hoping someone was going to be able to give you more specifics than I can - but it doesnt look promising. I have fished round lake once - yep once. And to make it worse, I managed to catch nothing. Great help eh ? :)
Anyways, it is part of the Blanche river system, and has pickerel (walleye), pike, perch, and some smallmouth bass. It has a number of cottages on it, and I think it does get a fair bit of pressure in the summer. The water is stained and was pretty cloudy the day I was there. I think you will have the best luck with a jig n minnow or worm harness. I dont know how good the bass fishing is there, but the pickerel fishing is supposed to be quite good. Cant give you any specific hotspots, but I am pretty sure that where "Crooked creek" flows into the lake would be a spot to try in the evening for pickerel. Although you will have to check the regulations as part of this river entering the lake is a no fishing santuary - at least in the spring.
Hope this helps.
