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” 😂
