Bonaparte Lake

[TeacherMan]

Anyone fished Bonaparte recently? Was thinking of getting a cabin there for the week next week. Been years since I’ve been up to it. Pretty much since I moved away from Curelw.

Thanks!

It’s been years since I’ve been there but worms were the ticket for the Eastern Brook trout!

Fished it last year about three days . Off bottom with pontoon boats. Caught 4-5 trout.
Caught couple of dock too. Power bait. Kinda slow.

Fished Curlew lake this year for a week. Not one bite. Camped at state park.
Never saw anyone catch a fish except some perch and bass.

Lots of theories, some say tiger Muskie eating trout, other say only fingerlings were planted.

It was my anniversary couple days ago and my wife had never been to the republic/curlew area. We went for a drive and I stopped at the park. They must of just released a bunch of baby tiger muskies. They were catching them like crazy from the dock at the state park, all like 12-18” 😂

We have not been over this summer but the pics I am seeing say its been pretty good. Tigers and Kokanee are doing real well. If I had the time, it would be a great way to spend a few days for sure. I hope you go and have a great anniversary trip!

Anyone catching lakers at Bonaparte in recent years? I know they used to be in there but haven't seen or heard of anything lately. Sorry not trying to thread jack. Just was curious.
