Can anyone give me tips for Lake Orion? I am fishing it tomorrow morning. I've never been to this lake. Are there any hazzards I need to be aware of? Stumps, etc.. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I've been fishing Lake Orion since I was old enough to hold a pole (QUIZ: can anyone tell me what I was wearing in my first picture with a fish I caught on Lake Orion? Winner will get a djkimmel.proboards29.com beer coozie after Dan gets approval from the Board of Directors  ). I have always done well on the South side of the lake. If you head south from the launch, turn right under the bridge. There is a very defined weed edge from the bridge to a sandbar you will see between the old boathouse and a small island. I have caught a lot of decent fish off of this weed edge. You can work that weed edge all the way around the island (on the West end is a sand point extending to deeper water --work that pretty well if you can). South of this Island is another small island (you kinda need to look hard to see that it's an island, it actually kinda looks like a small penninsula with a couple small cottages on it). The area around this island is very good for bass and pike. We used to slay fish here (we actually rented one of those cottages for a number of years, and this is actually where the picture referenced above was taken). You could also try the bays on the west side, there may be a few spawners still there. Good luck! |

When you catch as many 5 pound plus fish outta Kent as I do, you gotta wear a diaper to keep from soiling the boat |
