Little Lake (Barrie) fishing

[birdyzhao]

hey guys, going to little lake for some action tmr, quick question. any tip on what to use with current weather? i am mainly targeting bass...weather forecast kept changing for little lake in the last couple days - went from chances of showers to sunny all day.

i heard the lake has some pikes as well. is pickerel one species of pike? if yes, is the catching limit aggregate with pike? i heard they are fun to catch, but not very popular on the table ( too bony?

last question, some posts online said it is not safe to eat fish from little lake? is it true?

thanks for help in advance. good luck fisherman.

There are pike but no walleye - and the lake is already so heavily fished that you won't catch many eaters. Too many people keeping the fish from there already. Please practice C & R.
