vishuscirquel 59 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 Hi Y'all, Got out for a coule of hours today, went back to Burr Lake to see if there were any bigger walleye to be had than the last time we tried. Within 10 minutes of setting 2 lines down i had two pike on the ice Lots of fish on the sonar, most of it very small perch, but some bigger customers showing interest...but no takers. That s untill i swapped jigs for plain hook with sall split shot 6" up the line and just let the minnow swim around and was rewarded with a small walleye. As the sun started to set the weather improved The perch stopped sniffing the bait and started to bite more agressively....got through a lot of minnows in 15 minutes....lol Not many bigger fish showing on the sonar...so went out further despite convention to go shallow as light fades.......and was rewarded with another small walleye, one 17" and one just under 20". The bigger one was reallly fat, thought it mght have a perch in its gut, but turned out to be full of eggs!!! Was good to see there are plenty of larger fish to be had in Burr.......i'm gonna work my way down the logging road now and try Ingall Lake...followed by Pickerel Lake. Plan to expand my horizons again this winter and get to at least 5-10 new lakes i have not fished, i'd better hurry up and buy a snowmobile!!! Tight lines all!

vishuscirquel 59 Report post Posted December 1, 2008 Just wondering , where is Burr lake? Nice fish Mike Hey Mike, Here are the Google Earth Co-ordinates for Burr Lake 49 38 43.29N 92 53 01.84W Copy and paste those into the search bar of google earth and it will take you to exactly the spot i was fishing.l If you take the 595 out of Dryden, then turn left onto the 502. Continue along the 502 towards Fort Frances for about 15kms and you will see a turn off on the right called Dore lake road. Turn onto Dore Lake Road and just past the yellow 3km sign on the right hand side you will see a small layby. Park there and you will see a small trail leading through the bush....with my footprints in it.......its about a 50meter walk to the lake. regards Simon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
