Round Lake Resort

 

 

The fishing really is good
The Ministry of Natural Resources stocks the lakes in the area with 200,000 lake trout, brook trout, rainbow trout and splake each year so there a lots of fish to catch. Fish following fish have been caught in Round Lake
• Yellow pickerel
• Walleye
• Northern pike
• Small and large mouth bass
• Perch
• Lake trout (many caught in the summer of 96, one over 12 lbs)
• Brook trout (rare)

To fish for pickerel or walleye go straight out into the lake until you can see the church steeple at Round Lake Center. There is a drop-off in this area and it is best to trawl back and forth .
