Spider Lake in T.C.

[Llewellin]

Anyone fish this lake or have advice on it, its right down the road from my house and I am curious how fishes through the ice. Thanks guys.

I have fished it in the past for Northerns and have done well...it is not bad for gills either! Check out Arbutus also!

I was looking for more of gills and perch then northerns, thanks for the info.

Spider for me has been quite good for me at times,but has been a very early morning/very late afternoon bite.Couldn't even mark a fish on my Vex unless it was about 45 minutes either side of daylight/darkness.Fished near the island in about 26 feet of water.

Well I moved up to T.C. last year and I never really ice fished before so I want to get into it this year. I have heard the lake has nice gills, perch, pike and crappie. There is houses all around it and from what I heard gets good traffic throughout the winter but its so close to my house I will have to try it out. There is a public boat launch you can access it from. I don't know well see, I am out the door to Otsego lake lake now to see how it goes. Will post later

I ice fished it last week 2 times and we caught a pike, a largemouth (both on tip-ups) and we caught a bunch of nice bluegills(8-10"). There's a lot of crappie and when get back from Florida, we'll probably get some of them too. Last year we did great for gills and crappie. There's a public boat launch and also a tiny access point off of Camp Greilick.

thanks for the info guys, does anyone know the best bays to concentrate on for pike, gills or perch, I know there is 2 bays on the north end and two on the south, just never fished the lake before but were planning on going out tomorrow. Thanks again

Speaking of Arbutus....does anyone know how much ice is on that lake?

Thanks

I bet the ice is really unsafe right now on Arbutus or Spider. I am not sure on the perch in that lake. I was told that there aren't...or not many in there. It isnt the deepest lake. I am not 100% on this though. All I have caught were blue gills, bass and northerns.
