Bass fishing is excellent at Auld Reekie Lodge. You have five different lakes to choose from, including our Lodge lake, Gowganda. See our signature bass photo.
Gowgand Lake (Small Mouth Bass, Walleye, Northern Pike, Perch, Siscoe Herring This is the main lake and where the lodge is located. Shaped like a Z, this lake has 36 miles of shoreline. The distance from the dam at the north end is 5 miles from the waterfalls at the south end. The picturesque hamlet of Gowganda is located at the north east tip of the lake. The rest of the lake is uninhabited. The average depth of the lake is 26ft with its deepest hole over 150ft being just below the waterfalls. There are many 60ft and 70ft holes as well as many shoals, drop offs and sunken islands.
In the spring Walleye and Pike can be found in the east branch of the Montreal River. Later on in the year the Walleye and Pike are in the deeper water and around the heavily structured areas of the lake. In September, when the water temperature decreases, the Pike and Walleye move in to the shallower waters. Pike and Bass are very aggressive at this time of the year. Bass can be fished on this lake as early as the ice melts off (we have no closed season on Bass and Pike. They go on biting until the very end of the season.
Elk Horn Lake (Small Mouth Bass Approximately 3.5 miles long and ¾ mile wide, its rugged shoreline, many islands and rock shoals make it a Bass anglers paradise. On many occasions this lake has been renamed "fishing" to "catching". Maximum depth of 80ft. with an average depth of 20ft.
Obushkong Lake (Smallmouth Bass, Walleye, Northern Pike A shallow lake with a maximum depth of 20ft and an overall average of 8ft. The depth of the river at the north end varies from 2-30ft depending on the time of year. It is approximately 12 miles long and almost a mile wide. An extension of the east Montreal River, this lake is mainly rock structure while the river is heavily weeded, perfect for Walleye, Northern Pike and Small Mouth Bass are plentiful in this lake. There are also Whitefish, but they are usually only caught in the fall.
