White Lake?

Post by **Troller** » Fri May 21, 2010 12:45 pm

Hello Guys,
I have decided to dry dock my boat at While Lake this year. We are looking forward to have lot's of fun boating and fishing. I will be there this weekend probably Sunday and Monday. This is not a lake I know well yet. How has the fishing been there so far. I have not fished that lake in a few years.

Thanks,
Dave

I'll attest to the lack of size, but still decent quantity.

It's been hit pretty hard. Big lake though,

There is a MNR fish hatchery right near it I thought, you would guess there would be better stocking since it's called the White lake fish hatchery....

They could put more Walleye in....some of the local lakes used to have brook trout too, naturally...also some of the little rivers and streams too... sad.

Agree. Lots of pressure, especially on weekends. Also, more pleasure craft the last few years. Last year, we had water skiers buzz by within casting range while we were trying to fish.
In 6 days last year, we only had 1 bass over 4 lbs. Prior years, we had several over 5 lbs (all were released).

The White lake hatchery is off of Highway 7. White Lake near Arnprior doesn't have a fish hatchery.

Hey guys
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it! We had not a bad couple of outings. Sunday we caught some pike. We switched up today and caught a lot of panfish with some real worms and GULP. We caught a couple more pike as well on artificials. Busy lake this weekend.
Thanks
Dave
