Title: Mike Lake
Post by: JackalDark on March 30, 2009, 03:34:30 PM: Hello All,

I was just wondering if Mike Lake is Accessible yet and if anyone knows if it will get stocked this year?

Good Fishin?

Post by: Nymph on March 30, 2009, 03:42:09 PM: The Golden Ears website says that Mike Lake road is still closed. Granted that was a March 19th post. It also said that there was still ice on the lake.

I haven't gone up there to check yet, but am really looking forward to hoping on my fish cat and spending time at the lake.

I've just moved out of downtown vancouver to Pitt meadows and I want to make up for last year's lack of fishing!

I found fishing was slow but the lake is quiet and a good place to get away.

Post by: Geff_t on April 03, 2009, 11:42:05 AM: The road to Mike lake is now open but the lake is still frozen. With the weather we are expecting this weekend it will not be long before the ice is gone.

Post by: OGrady on April 04, 2009, 05:59:39 PM: they waited till April 23rd to stock it last year so i imagine it will be around the same time this year but it depends on the ice of course.

Post by: Nymph on April 05, 2009, 05:44:30 AM: I'm chomping at the bit to get fishing on Mike Lake!

This nice weather better melt the ice fast! Otherwise I'll have to find a ditch somewhere to fish on! Maybe along Lougheed Highway in Mission (just past Silverdale)- it's deep there. If you ever see a crazy man on a float tube in the ditch-- it's probably me!

Post by: DionJL on April 05, 2009, 05:05:47 PM: The slough past Silverdale towards Mission is Silver creek. I was looking at it last thursday thinking it could definitely hold fish.

Give Rolley lake a try. Was this today and did well for about 45min. I had 14 to hand and missed alot more.

Post by: Nymph on April 06, 2009, 05:42:29 AM: Thanks for your suggestion. I think I am going to try Rolley in the next few days.

I can't waste these nice days. Mother Nature would be upset.
