Algonquin Adventures / Achray Lake- trout

**Posted by Lenny** 3/14/2024 2:58 pm

Has anyone ever caught a trout in Achray Lake before? Still can't decide whether it would be worth checking out. Nice to be able to run the trolling motor but not sure it's even worth it. Emailed the park to see whether it's allowed in Carcajou Bay or not as it isn't clear online.

I have car camped at Achray 6 or 8 times. Fished it casually every time. I've never got a nibble in Grand. Don't remember seeing anyone come back with a trout in the boat either. The occasional bass yes. I'm sure some must be in there down deep. But generally it's not considered a good fishing lake.

My question would be: is it even deep? If so, where? But I've never seen a depth map or sounded it.

130 feet at it's deepest

Thanks Martin! Definitely shallower than I thought. Going to give it a run this spring on a quick one night trip. Nice to be able to use a trolling motor.
