Cobden Lake

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I'd say you'll find 'em no prob where your shack is now, just try fishing the whole column. I was there on the weekend and caught one on a golden shiner down 8' over 60fow and another hugging bottom with a lipless crank in 30fow...

Cobden Lake - Muskrat Lake

How's the ice looking on Muskrat? I want to get out a little in the Subaru instead of sticking near the town.

Cobden - Muskrat

Post by OttawaMatt »

How is the Cornerview way to get on? I'm driving a Subaru, so I won't have the ground clearance of my old truck, but it is all wheel drive. Is there a lot of snow? I'm trying to avoid getting out and pulling the toboggan.

Well just got back from Muskrat lake. Beautiful day, but fishing was not good, not for me anyway. Tried our luck for lakers out near Hydro Bay, no luck not even a sniff.

Then headed back towards Cobden to fish the bays, and again not even a bite. We were in 5 feet of water and worked out way deep, nothing, but it was a great day anyway!

Cheers

Let me clarify, BW was skunked, I at least managed to get some perch on Sunday. Time to change that signature, eh BW? :P

Signature changed. Lol
Not sure I know where Center View is. Is it on the Beachburg side of the lake?
I know where Water View, Corner View and McFarlain Rd entrances are.
