Flyfisher Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I'm heading up to a cottage on Baptiste lake near Bancroft in August. I hear there is mainly bass pike and walleye in there with a few muskies. does anybody have any info or experience fishing this lake or can point me in the direction of some areas to try. Its a fairly large lake and maybe someone who knows it can break it down. I don't expect anyone to divulge any honey holes but just general info on what areas to target and what method (trolling , jigging, casting). Would love to get into some bass and walleye.

kgm Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 There is a channel at the one end with a hydro dam. It's deeper water in there, good for trolling for larger pike. A bunch of shallow bays close to that end as well that are good for bass and pike. The narrows on the other end heading into elephant lake have lots of stumps and were good musky waters when I was younger before pike were introduced, probably good for pike there now. Apparently there are lake trout in the deep areas in the middle as well. Good luck, hope you do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycarp Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Good bass around Blueberry Island - some nice weed beds and structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroaks Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I used to go there every year. The narrows between hay bay and west bay is very dependable for pike and bass. Hit elephant lake if you want to target musky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyfisher Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 must not be too many walleye. So far everything I've read is mainly about bass and pike. I guess walleyes are tough to find there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRO - P1KE 101 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 Some big walleyes there but tough to catch I used to go up there many times a year and will probably start going up again. You have to put in some time to find the walleye usually around rocky humps and what not, it can be hit and miss though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
