Milne Dam Markham

[tangpierre]

I had tried there last weekend and got nothing, although I had seen some fish jumped up and splashed.

Hi i' m kind of a rookie and I live really close to Milne Dam and was wondering what would be the better spots of the conservation area to fish from shore and also what kind of lures and bait to use. I would be super grateful for any advice.

Let's meet up! Send me a pm if you're interested and we can go there one evening. I haven't been there in a month, and I'd love to go back.

This is an open invitation for anyone, just pm me. More lines in the water, the better. There're carp, some decent fish.

I'm at Markham and 16th.

I'll come out too!

i'm not sure what else is in Milne Dam these days but, i've seen carp swimming and seen dead ones floating at the dam side. I fish at the princess street side. My 8 yr old caught his first fish there...it was a chub on a little 5 diamond spoon but he's happy with it. Water is muddy brown. some people camp there til 11pm or later. Good luck. you can bring a canoe as well as i've seen some guys do it.

I"ve brought my canoe there before and... the water's only a foot deep in the middle LOL. Imagine the look on our faces when we bottomed out in the MIDDLE of the pond

How about Wednesday evening guys? We can meet at 5pm or 6pm? There's a school in the area that I park at and I walk in, this way I don't get bothered to move my car.

I have been fishing Milne more often than I need to. Only seen carp there now. I don't know what else is in there but on the other side of the dam (rouge river) I've lost bass on Mr. Twister...I've seen steelheads but small and i don't bother. South of 407, small creek by the golf course, seen a small pike follow my Johnson weedless minnow spoon. Missed 2 strikes on slow retrieve. be prepared to get wet if you go early in the morning. I'm going to the bluffs under the bridge ( my sweet pike spot ).

I live in Markham and I talked to and old local who used to maintain the Milne Dam Park. He said there used to be Walleye and Pike in there... can you believe that!

Insane!

Right now you're right it's just carp. But I don't have any problem catching carp, I quite enjoy it.

well to me catching fish in general is enjoyable but watching a pike, bass or walleye hit your lure is even more exciting. have yet to see a carp chase something. good fighters though. walleye and pike at milne dam? he's probably talking about the bottom side not the park side.

I've caught a pan sized LMB at Milne. I was surprised, I was almost convinced that there were no fish in there. I caught it on a small sized minnow near a branch like structure. Catch and Released.
