Hey Hawkers,
Just looking for some general advice on Muscrat lake. I have never fished it but drive by it on the way to the cottage all the time.
I am looking to get out this Saturday morning and fish for eyes. Any advice on where to locate walleye on the lake? I will be on foot (as I don't trust driving on the ice), where would be the best spot to walk on (taking into consideration I prefer to fish for walleye).
Cheers and thanks a bunch.
ps: I was out on Campbells bay last Saturday and the fishing was amazing. Caught 5 pike all over 4 lbs and many perch. Watch out though, some of the perch are wormy. If you are looking for steady fun, check it out!

Walking on makes it a bit of a challenge...there's a rock reef about half-way up the lake on the north side. It should hold some 'eyes (haven't fished there this year). Last year we got into some perch while laker fishing in the bay which is not too far from the rocks. They were suprisingly deep + 45'...might be some 'eyes mixed in with 'em. Like I said though, it's quite a hike on foot. Good luck.
There are few problems in life which can not be solved with a well-placed, high-explosive projectile.

Hwy 17, just past the public launch in Cobden there's a road to your right called McFarlane Rd. Go to the end and you can walk on from there. There are always alot of shacks there for perch and pike but I'm sure if you find a friendly local he/she may be able to point you in the right direction for 'eyes. I've caught them there in the past but I couldn't tell you where the heck I was
