Cliff Lake Insight Needed(Lost Bay Resort)

[WalleyeChaser]

Anyone have any info on this lake? Thinking of heading up the week after the 4th of July. Hows the fishing around that time of year? Looking for a good mixed bag lake with some good action. Looking to bring home some eyes and trout for the freezer and those trophy pike and musky photos! We would like to see pretty consistant walleye/trout action for the youngsters to keep them interested! Thanks in advance!

I fished Cliff several years back and mostly in the winter. We fished out of Cliff's Wilderness Camp which I believe is the Wildeyes Outpost camp now. There's narrows to the left of the outpost camp if you looked out the dock of the camp and south I believe. There's also a 60' foot hump surrounded by 80' in front of the outpost. Really good smallmouth in the lake. We fished walleyes on the southern portion and more than once had muskies follow our bait in. We used downriggers in the summer but I'd try jigging. You maybe able to find more information if you search Butch Furtman's sites as he spent alot of time on the lake also. Good Luck and enjoy your trip.

I literally just watched a fishing show where they were at lost bay resort. It sure looked like they a nice place. They were catching all species. The main lake they were fishing was a "cache lake" and there were only 2 boats allowed on it.

We were there the last week of June last year and will be again this summer. Had good luck with lake trout is 50 to 60 feet of water with downriggers. Also found plenty of smallies including a 20 incher, lots of small northerns in the cache lakes and landed five muskies during the week. We did not catch a lot of walleyes but most of the ones we caught were good sized. Good luck we really enjoyed the place.

Just got off Cliff yesterday. Fished it for the first time in the winter. Best thing to do is get yourself a map. You can order one here: http://www.canadamapsales.com/en/catalogue/AnglingMaps/OntarioLakes/OntarioListing/index.html. It is a fairly large lake(5700 arcres). We fished the south basin off steep breaks and picked up two trout. Not many lookers. Only one other party of locals on the lake and they said they did not get a bite. Lake had 2 feet of ice yet but there was a lot of water in spots. The trail was ripped up pretty bad by wheelers. Shallower bays would be good for the musky, walleyes, northern and bass. Find a deep break and either jig or down rig for lakers. I am going to try to hit it twice this summer.

Also, the pople at Bobby's Corner in Vermilion Bay are great. They will help you with anything you need. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
