Has anyone fished this lake in Brampton. I went to the beach with my kids and the water looks pretty clear I know there should be almost all fish in this lake but was wondering if anyone has tried it yet?

I remember when they built this lake, a friend of mine lived in the houses around it when they were first built. But i have no idea whats in there if anything. They may have stocked it at one time. But it`s really just a minning pit.

Have you even been to Professor's lake? I think you are mistaking it with Lake Ontario near Pickering nuclear power plant

The last time I went to professors lake, I was amazed at the clarity of the water (very good) for such a small lake.

no offense taken we just look for places to fish in the GTA near by if I want to go fishing for real I will go to at least Barrie or Kawartha Lakes. Also if I do go to Professor's lake it would be strictly sports fishing i would not keep anything from there. I don't know whether you have been to this little lake before but the water is pretty clear.

If it's a small lake then I doubt you'd have trouble figuring it out yourself. Good Luck

I went to Professor's Lake this morning, was surprised at the clarity of the water, it was clear.
I was shocked to see so many fish too.
My family caught mostly rock bass,they were hiding in the rocks near the shore in less than 2 feet of water. I also caught a Pumpkinseed and I believe I caught a bass but not really sure what it was.
I saw Crappie in the water but they weren't biting ,I also saw a large fish ,I don't know what it was ,it was shaped like a pike so I suspect it was that.
I was using worms ,they seemed to work well for the panfish.

The shoreline to the left of the rec center is a popular spot. I see lots of people fish there, and have even taken a few kids to catch small panfish. A few years ago they stocked rainbows in it, and I've seen some nice 13"-14" come out occasionally. It's a favorite bike path for my wife and I, but we haven't been there yet this year. Yesterday, I took a couple of kids up to Heart Lake and we caught some small panfish, but I did see a few nice rainbows come out, again about 14". Another small pond fun for kids in the city of Brampton is Loafer's Lake.
