We will be back home (PA) the end of the month and are looking for a good place to take the kids out? Thinking about Tobin, Round lake and ?

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks in advanced

i had luck by the "beaver dam" on sturgeon, we drove through a field to get there, nailed perch all morning, this was 2 winters ago....careful driving around the beaver dam.

Any other good place to go? Anything up to 2 hours away?

MeadowPikeman · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 14, 2007, 11:45 PM »

lots of trout, sealy can be good, cowan is about 1.5 hrs, usually good pike action.

Great, never been to either place.
Found Cowan by Big River, but not sure where Sealy is?

Thanks for the info, will have to try a couple of these places out.

Where are the flats on Tobin?

What the best way to get on the lake to go to the flats?

anglin lake is close can fish for perch, walleye, and pike
i was there sunday dec. 16th caught 11 pike in 4 hours with one 8# and one14# pike was lots of fun

geahead, to get out on the flats take your last grid road headed east before you get to tobin lake resort village, you go on the for a few km's then you get to a dead end i think take a left(headed north) this road curves and heads east out onto the flats.

anglin lake is very good , you can go out near the public boat launch and just to the west of it and in about 6-8 feet of water and usually do okay on the walleye there with a jighead tipped with a minnow.

Gearhead: You can see the road which MeadowPikeMan refers to on this map. The one which runs between the two bodies of water. Doesn't really show it, but there is a left hand turn in there somewhere. Pretty sure the turn is past Tobin Lake Resort. Anyone in town should be able to help ya. Maybe

gearhead · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 17, 2007, 09:02 PM »

Thanks for the map, look like you end up at walls Flats?
How far out on the flats do you go?
Anyone know where flooded Birch Island is about? or GPS location hehehe :')

MeadowPikeman · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 18, 2007, 01:04 AM »

walls flats is not the flats where everyone goes for pike, you want to head straight east where that road starts to head north towards walls you come out eastward onto petaigan bay, head 2 or 3 miles northeast out onto petaigan bay, there should be a group of shacks out there.

gearhead · « **Reply #20 on:** Dec 18, 2007, 08:12 AM »

ok,thanks for the update, does the road end by petaigan river.

MeadowPikeman · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 18, 2007, 11:36 AM »

no you come out onto petaigan bay maybe a couple km's north of where the river comes into the bay
