muskrat
I was there today... Arrived at about 7am and left at 2pm
Got two pike (kept one) about 3 to 4 pounds each.
we then went over to the pan fish area and drilled two holes between the two of us... in one hour we must have pulled in 60 perch
Suddenly my hole started to slow down while my fishin biddies hole was still going strong. Then my hole stoped and his slowed dramatically. Holes were only 10 feet apart!
anyway.. the locals there claim that it has been a very dissapionting winter for Lakers and for smelts.

Any more details on Muskrat
I'd like to fish it sometime, but wouldnt know where to start. If you dont want to share, PM me if you're willing to help out.
I see shacks in at the end of the lake near town. Is that the "panfish" area you're talking about?

I was out there Monday to Wednesday and got nothing, one or two bites, which is atypical of Muskrat. I tried a few different spots, Hydro bay, off of cedar point but now my huts out by the boat launch so that's where I'll be.
3 weeks ago we caught a bunch of good sized perch and 2 of them had yellow grubs in them, luckily not as much as in the summer so I just ate them in the dark

Re: ICE FISHING MUSKRAT (Cobden) LAKE
I thought it was illegal to target sturgeon in Ontario?
Get ya can't help incidental catches---maybe I'm wrong?

If you check the reg's for zone 15 it says sturgeon are closed all year.
