They make their own syrup and fresh pancakes all day long. It is in an old converted barn, quite nice. It is well worth the 45 minutes it takes for us to go there whenever we are at our cottage.
The lake sounds pretty good too, maybe worth a Sunday excursion.
I don't know about Dalhousie either, but those pancakes sure sound good! lol0ol
If fishin ain't your mission, then you can kiss my Bass!
Just one of them Wheeler's cakes is enough to slow ya right down to a crawl for about 4 hours. Finishing two and you're screwed for the day. Pretty sure they put lead and iron in their batter, and Lorazepam in the syrup. Sooooo good & Nummy from 2004 ti'll forever!!!
I've fished Dalhousie Lake from shore at the top end where the river flows into the lake (along lavant mills road). You can climb over the rail and get down right beside the water on either side of the bridge. I had success casting #4 Aglia long skirted spinners into the current at a 45 degree angle, and allowing the current to take the lure out. Before it hits the bottom set your bail and reel slowly - the current will 'kick' your lure out to the left or right (depending on which side you're on) and that's where the bass are usually lurking.
I was told that if you can cast far enough with live bait (minnows or worms) and get it past the drop off where the river meets the lake, there are huge Walleye near the bottom. Apparently they wait for food to come down the river. If you're after walleye and keep getting bass at this spot, its because you're not deep enough. saw some guys in boats try to get near the drop off, had a tough time due to the current.
Little tip: If you're out that way, stop off at Pauls Creek - stocked with trout by MNR. Nothing record breaking, but its fun to catch them. Its right beside Paul's Creek campground. There is a covered bridge that crosses the creek (grumpys bridge) - under that should be where the trout are. If you do go for the speckies, be kind and bend your barbs in, they are fragile fish.
