Silver Dollar Area Ontario
5/21/04 @ 11:46 AM
Just interested to see if anyone fishes this area of Ontario. My group will be making it's 12th trip to the area later this summer. We stay at Moose Creek Camp about 8 miles north of Silver Dollar. We fish a number of different lakes in this area. Some of our favorites are Wintering, Sowden, Sturgeon, Young and Watcomb. I would enjoy comparing ideas and stories with fisherman who have spent time in this area. JEP

We've caught a fair number of perch over the years. The jumbos are usually caught while targeting walleye. However, from time to time I've stopped on weed beds and targeted perch for a while. I keep a small spinning set up in the rod locker just for em. Small hook and a bobber. I use gulp products for bait. Unless you have night crawlers, that would be the best. The hard part is catching big enough ones to Filet.
Fishngod, I wish I could throw you a bone, I drive past it every year as I had up to the north end of Sturgeon. As close as I have come is fishing the head waters where the Sturgeon river dumps out of Sturgeon Lake over the falls and into the river that feeds the lakes. That is a strange feeling sitting on top seeing the water falling away. Needless to say I kept the motor running and kept a little distance as I crossed the opening. No reason to believe you won't have great fishing. Looking forward to your report. I will be up three times this year for a total of 4 weeks + if all goes well. Later in August for Sturgeon this year.
Good luck!
Good luck!
See this link it for Ontario lakes. You can search by fish type. There are 3 small lakes a few miles south of silver dollar that have brook trout and splake.

BugleTrout, The only ones I am familiar with that have Brook Trout are Snowstorm, Little Snowstorm, and Reguly which are right off the 312 road just past Indian lake a few miles. Little Snowstorm is actually stocked with Brooky's.
I am sure there are others but those are the only ones I am aware of.

Does anyone do any brook trout fishing in the Silver Dollar area? I haven't researched the regs but found a few sites that offer advice on locations. The guys I come up there with are pretty hardcore walleye anglers but I
would love to mix it up a bit if there's opportunity in the area.
