ralphthedog 2 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 We are heading out to Sibley for the weekend, and am wondering if there are any fish in Lake Marie Louise. We have a waterfront lot, so I can try offshore, or in my canoe. I would like my little guy (3 years) to catch his first fish. Any 'hot spots'?? Thanks.

Guest canuck Report post Posted June 26, 2007 We have caught bass from the dock at the boat launch but have not tried anywhere else simply because we did not have a boat in the past. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gone fishin' 3 Report post Posted June 26, 2007 I have no personal experience, but have been told that perch and possible panfish are easy to catch off the dock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have caught bass out of a canoe at the west end of the lake, left from boat launch dock looking at lake. Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dan Report post Posted June 27, 2007 I caught a 9 and a 9 1/2 lb. Walleye there from shore just north of the main beach on a May long weekend a few years back. 35 years to be exact. I was 14 years old at the time. I kept both of them, because that's what you did in those days. One is on my wall to this day. The park staff had never heard of a Walleye caught there at the time. Has anyone caught any Walleye there lately? Or in the past? I remember walking down the crowded beach carrying these two huge Walleye. Man, I got lots of attention that day. A day I'll never forget.

Guest Brett S Report post Posted June 27, 2007 Lake Marie Louise has some pretty good bass fishing. ive caught a couple in the three pound area out of there and ive only fished there afew times. if you look straight off the dock you will see a point on the other side of the lake if u can get there in a canoe go there. theres alot of weeds to the right and a big rocky outcrop that extends of the point more to the right, i picked up a couple nice ones there last year. straight off the dock there is a huge weed bed that extends a long ways, try trolling through it on the way to the point, my dad lost a pretty big one in there last year. if your going in a canoe be careful the waves can get pretty big there. good luck!

Guest Dan Report post Posted June 29, 2007 I am curious. Has anyone ever caught or heard of anyone catching a Walleye there before? I know that it was quite a novelty when I caught mine that fateful day. Did I catch the last two Walleye from Louise? They were both males by the way.

Guest Big Moose Report post Posted June 30, 2007 I've got family that live out in rear end ake oops Pass Lake and have spent quite a bit of time out there and have heard of some wallys being caught out there I'll ask my bro if he's been this year.

ralphthedog 2 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Well, we didn't catch anything other than a seagull. They told us no live bait, including worms, so in all honesty, we didn't really try either. Don't think a 3 year old has the patience to cast spinner baits for a few hours.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patrick Brian 1 Report post Posted January 6, 2019 I’ve paid the money to fish on Black bay and I’ve fished on Marie Louise. I’d take Marie Louise over black bay any day of the week! The perch are bigger and more plentiful! Have caught quite a few perch 14” plus there. You just gotta know where to find them! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct me if I.m wrong but I don't think worms are baitfish. Sounds more like whom ever told you was misinformed and most likely didn't have any authority to question it. I've never seen or caught a bigger perch there, lots of smallmouth and limited numbers of pike. Was on the water almost every weekend last summer.

OldWalter 8 Report post Posted January 9, 2019 I don’t see anywhere in the regs that says no live bait for either Sleeping Giant Provincial Park or Lake Marie Louise. Does someone want to reference the exact page for this exception in the reg so I don’t make the mistake of taking minnows if I go there . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bwkre 11 Report post Posted January 10, 2019 The regulation is contained in the park plan found here, https://www.ontario.ca/page/sleeping-giant-provincial-park-management-plan Section 7.1.8 Fisheries states, "Sport fishing is permitted in the park, although the use and possession of baitfish is prohibited in park waters, with the exception of Lake Superior. All fishing activity will be subject to the policies and regulations of the Ontario Fishing Regulations. The park superintendent may take steps to restrict sport fishing at certain times and locations for the purposes of fisheries management and/or public safety. Stocking of native species is allowed in development and natural environment zones. Rehabilitation of degraded fish habitat may occur. Commercial fishing and commercial bait fishing are prohibited in park waters, with the exception of the waters of Lake Superior (NE3 zone), where commercial fishing is an existing use and is permitted to continue."
