Strange lake?

[Colep123 9]

Has anyone fished there before/ are you allowed to go out there or is there properties?!

 

[mad scientist 140]

It's all Crown land.

[Colep123 9]

Worth fishing it?

 

[mad scientist 140]

I've never been there...I just looked it up on the Crown Land atlas.

[Colep123 9]

Ahh yeah same with me. Seen it on the stocked lakes chart. And it says its stocked with rainbow.

It's a short walk in. I haven't had any luck through the ice the number of times I have fished it, have caught a few during open water

Ah...I was looking at a different Strange Lake.  The one that is stocked with RBT is mostly Crown, but a bit of private on the west end.  The grey is private land, the peach colour is Crown

I ended up going to jinx. caught one. But the ice was abit iffy. So didnt stay long. Was 4inches but moving lots. First time there for me. And first time ice fishing! also nice catch/ videos man, hope to see more

That’s the one lake I have not tried yet.

[Colep123 9]

Haha was a damn trek. Il tell you that. At the bottom of a huge super steep hill.

My bad it was pothole lake 

[Zackcorbin1401 542]

I like pothole. Not many fish in the lake though I think they stock 100-200 fish a year into it.

I can't speak to that.  Lakes with any portion of the shoreline on Crown land are usually (not always) available to the general public, if you can get yourself there.  Lakes that are completely surrounded by patent (private) lands may be available to the public, but that really depends on the landowners....case by case basis.  For example, Boulevard Lake is completely patent land, but the land owner is the city.

What program/app is this that shows you the crown land? Or is it just on gps?

Thanks for the link! I had no idea such a site even existed. Not very mobile friendly but I’m sure it will work well on my laptop. It would be nice if the mnr would make that website and fishonline into a user friendly app.

would be nice if it was an overlay option with fishon.  Maybe there is a map option in there that will highlight it that i just havent looked for, but there are crown land uses that do not show up like resort boat stashes and trappers cabins.  Im not sure the legalities of using places like that as crown land access.

Yes that would be a nice option too.
