Cedar Lake - Cedar Lake Resort - NW Ontario

Does anyone have any advice or info on Cedar Lake in NW Ontario? I am considering going up over the 4th of July Week. It may be a 5 year anniversary trip. What are your thoughts?

That's a great area...I certainly wouldn't tell you to not go there, but considering Ear Falls is about 20-30 mins north of there, it is very hard to argue why going to Cedar is a better option then Lac Seul, unless the soul purpose of your trip is chasing muskies. There is no comparison on the walleye fishing whatsoever

Brian,

Thank you for the feedback. We are trying to keep costs down and really don't have a particular target for fishing Cedar Lake. I have only been to Canada fishing three times and twice it was at a family members home just outside of Red Lake in Madsen.

The other time we fishied the English River in Ear Falls. We have had pretty good luck with walleyes, northerns and a number of muskies. We are just looking to catch fish.

If you or anyone else has something to add I would appreciate it. I have never fished the Cedar Lake but will be planning on visiting the week of the 4th of July.

Thanks for your input.

I used to always fish Perault Lake which I believe is connected by a channel to Cedar Lake. Our resort owner always told us that if we wanted to catch a ton of small mouth bass that we should get extra gas and head into Cedar lake.

I believe that Cedar and Perrault are connected by the Ord River (or creek as some might refer). A buddy of mine has a cabin on Perrault, been up there many times, love the area. Fishing is always good.

Thanks guys for the info. My wife and I are going up the week of June 30-July 7. Has anyone been up to Cedar lately?

I heard that they were going through a mayfly hatch.

How does the mayfly hatch affect the fishing?
