Haliburton, Otter Lake

[reefrunner]

Good day everyone,

I'll be spending the Victoria Day long weekend at Otter Lake in Haliburton. This is not the one just before Parry Sound, but farther North, closer to the West-side of Algonquin. I've been doing internet searches but cannot find what species hold in the lake. I'm hoping it's more than bass, since they will OOS that weekend.

If anyone has any experience with Otter Lake in Haliburton, please share what species are in the lake and perhaps tips to approach them since this is the first time I'll be on that body of water. PMs welcome if your not comfortable posting on a public forum.

Thanks in advance,
Reefrunner

Posted below is a link to a chart that I have found to be quite useful for fishing up by my cottage.

Thanks Zantrax. Looks like its all bass, shame.

Ahh, you should really go after the opener then. The bass in algonquin are fearless and will smack anything thats presented. I remember practically throwing down an unscented plastic and not even moving it, and before i knew it, my line was moving and fish was on.

I'll have a canoe that I drop into other lakes/rivers in the area. Not all is lost! Thanks all!
