Pete Bowman Fishing at Lakeside Cottage
With its spectacular scenery, Lakeside Cottages Resort has a beautiful location on Katchewanooka Lake in the heart of Kawarthas. The regularly pre-baited fishing area is easy to access within stepping distance, and you can fish right next to your cottage throughout your whole stay at Lakeside Cottages.
The season starts from mid May and continues all the way through October. Our knowledgeable angler Mike Williams who knows the lake and rivers well is on hand to advise tactics, bait, spots, etc. Mike has been well known for finding carp for his guests, and many of the guests achieved their personal best record with Mike giving top advices!
Carp to FORTY have been landed, and bigger fish are also presenting. On a good day you could expect to catch into double figures or more, with a good possibility to catch thirties or even forties among them.
Mike’s tips:
- A really good strong catapult is A MUST, bring two with spare pouches and elastics ·Trevor Tomlin’s whopper dropper would be perfect for carp fishing
- Carp mats are essential, make sure to bring them with you!
Tackle suggestions:
- Bring strong sufficient carp hooks, bait runner reels and both braid and mono fishing line
- Braid and mono can be purchased locally at reasonable prices
- Bring plenty of inline method feeders and 2oz to 3oz leads
Bait suggestions:
- A row boat is provided for baiting up for all of our guests
- The fishing area will be pre-baited, but feel free to make and use your own maize mix
- Boiled corn or boilies both work well

Carp can eat vast quantities of bait when feeding well. These fish fight really hard, so the fishing will be very exciting and truly fabulous. You will catch more fish in a week or two weeks than you’ll probably catch somewhere else in a season. With the hard fighting quality carp, the scenic water of Lake Katchewanooka makes Lakeside Cottages the finest wild natural carp fishing area in the world. Come and experience a holiday of a life time! You will be well looked after by Mike who knows Carp Fishing better than anyone in Ontario!
