Muskoka fishing in Late October

[pdriegen]

Hey all,

Looking for some feedback from you experienced anglers. A group of us guys had planned a weekend fishing getaway for mid-September, early October in one of the Muskoka lakes. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a weekend that worked for the majority of us so we've pushed it off until late October. I'm wondering if it's still worth going this late in the season. Can we still expect some success with pike/walley fishing this late? Unfortunately, it's not a trout lake otherwise I'd recommend we look for lakers or steelhead.

Does anyone have experience with warm-water fishing at this point in the year that could comment?

Thanks!

Lakers are closed by the time you will get up here. But the Pike and Walleye should be slamming mid-Oct. friends of mind fish Walleye on The G-bay at a river mouth till almost mid-Dec

SOMEONE SLAP THIS MAN"S HAND!! Fishing this time of the year will yield some of your personal best fish. If it's bass, pike or walleye. Fish will start to put on there feedbags and become very aggressive towards prey. I would recommend you check out Lake Muskoka or the smaller lakes surrounding Muskoka. You'll be very impress with the action and size of fish. Try to use bigger baits this time of year and faster moving lures. Spinnerbaits and jerk baits are a great base to start from and you can build from there. Don't be afraid to fish shallow as the water is still warmer and will attract bait fish.

Hope this helps and go get 'em!
