Is this a trolling only Lake?

Huge stats on this lake .tons of rainbows reported .including brood cand r encouraged.far from edmonton

Went there today and last weekend. Did not see any perch on both days using the underwater camera. Only saw an occasional trout or 2. 3 years ago you could see lots of schools of perch.

Been out for 4 hours and moved to a few spots and haven't seen a single fish on the camera . Was here 2 years ago and there were tons of fish.

Ice was 4-6 inches inches thick dad caught 2 rainbow trout 10 inches each,surprisingly no perch. did they kill off the lake??

me and dad are going this weekend for some perch. I will update soon

Any news?

Beauty day out, fish are lively!

Thinking about one last trip before spring hits. How's the ice?

Was out on the 5th of Jan and holly smokes I have never seen so many perch.... Not very aggressive took me about 2 hours to figure out what they wanted. Ended up catching around 18 perch in 4 hours and a pretty descent sucker fish. All in all good day for first time out. 11.5 inches of ice lots of over flow by boat launch Do Not Drive Out!!

Lots of small perch. Nothing worth keeping.

Nice catch . I was out there camping for a week and caught the biggest one at 3 lbs so good job. There are monsters in there my father in law caught the 15 lber out of there in 2011 and I lost one close to it same weekend . Good luck fishing all

I had visited this lake a couple years ago in the summer. I have fished here a few times before then and had caught a few suckers and some decent trout while trolling, from 1-3 pounds. But this time I was fishing from shore, and within the first 10 minutes on the south-east side using a pickerel rig with a bobber, a yellow marshmallow, and a worm. I had hooked into 7 pound 9 ounce rainbow. At first I thought it was a snag, and it didn't feel normal. But when I realised it was a fish I got it to shore fairly quick. I got it to shore and I noticed it was foul hooked. I was really happy but it had to one of the ugliest rainbows I've seen, it was extremely old and faded female with little to no colour. and was

How's the fishing this year ? Any jumbo trout pulled out this year

Was excited to fish off the dock. Well you could but you wouldn't catch anything because it's only about a foot deep for about thirty feet to what looks to be a drop off. Walked around to the island only to the same situation. You get a little closer to the drop off on the east side but you still take the chance of snagging on the rocks. Tried walking out to the island. Nope... Bad idea. Sank to my hips in the first four steps off land in what looked like one foot of water. Like Rat Lake... You need a boat to get out to where the fish are found.

I was on Phyllis the other day not much action might have been the day or maybe a bad winter kill

Is there still ice on the lake. Thinking about going out this weekend

Went out and caught a pile of little perch no keepers just a lot of fun

Just wondering how the ice is planning on going there Sunday any info would be greatly appreciated

Has anyone been catching any perch lately?

Very slow. No stocking this year. Talk about problems with too many perch

As of May 23-25th the fish are not biting at all and at one point there was 13 boats out on the lake......

How is fishing on Phylis???

May 11th, 2014 still ice in the middle of the lake.

Anybody know if the ice is off the lake yet

Took my 6 year old daughter out and we caught a bunch of little perch and a few trout today. She had a blast. Pretty good day.

Can anyone tell me if they have blowed the road to the lake yet and could a guy get around by the boat launch pulling a 16 foot trailer.

Good ice and good fishing. The trout were small but I couldn't keep them off the worm. They're hungry.

12" ice in most places. Small trout. Lots of undersized perch. 4-5". Need a good 4x4 get down to the lake access. 2 wheel drive won't make it back up. Mid morning 10-11am was the best action.

Good ice with 12 inches of snow on it bring a shovel

Jan 1/14 lots of small perch on west shore from the island caught 3 nice trout great day. road not cleared 4x4 only

The lake is beautiful but not a very big lake at all. There are some perch and rainbo trout. Perch were introduced unlawfully I here and they are just tiny. We only caught rainbows around a pound or 2 and lots of return people say theyve caught 5 to 7 pounders

Yes but it has to be electric motor

can you fish phyllis with a boat and small motor

Fishing was great over maylong!! All fish were over 17 inches long. That's all you seen was brooders. People caught some small trout but that was only on pickerel rigs or Texas rigs. Whatever you want to call them. I caught 6 and lost 10 . Have your drag set low that they can run or they just pop the hook in the first 10 seconds.

Great thanks for the update. I can't wait to get up there. Hope the weather will be good enough to fish in everyday.

Ice is off, fishing was slow on the weekend but they should be stocking this week. May long weekend is always a good weekend for catching lots of fish.

Has anyone Been up lately?????!? I am thinking of heading up for may long. Anyone think the ice is off or close?? Have they stocked it yet??? Any info from any body will be great.

Spent the weekend of the 4th at the lake beautiful weekend but the lake still ice covered starting to open around the shore

Spent the weekend at the lake may 4th and 5th the lake still covered in ice

Anyone know if the ice is off the lake or even close to being off of it yet??

Came out on the 22rd of February. Use micro hooks with meal worms and maggots and you'll have perch and rainbow on all day. Mostly small though, like 6-8" max. Although we did see the odd 2-3' rainbow.

Hello BoBo, thanks I will have to try that this up coming year!!! Good luck and good fishing!!

Hello just jig it. I bought a shrimp ring from the store and used small pieces of the shrimp and that worked well.

Hey BoBo, were you using cooked shrimp?

Went to Phyllis on Feb 16th and caught 6 small rainbows and no Perch in 3 hours but see a ton. I tried close to the dock first and saw none then I went to the island to the right and seen a few perch however on the left side from the boat launch and half way down the lake is where I caught and seen a lot of Trout and perch. I was using shrimp and a small pink hook. Been there twice in the last week and drilled many holes and the best spot to fish at Phyllis is straight across the lake from that Island but please note they were all small. I have heard the bigger trout are around the island but I did not see or catch any in the 2 days I was there. Great place to go if you have kids. Hope this helps. Don't forget to bring shrimp.

Tons of perch here great for kids!

Caught 12 6-8" stockers and 13 perch between two of us from 9:30 to 1:30. Lots of fish though wondering where all the 2-3 year trout are... Seems to be only rare huge brood trout and small ones. If u have questions don't hesitate to ask.

4 of us out today caught 11 rainbows and 9 perch all very small figured we'd let them get a little bigger for next time. Quite cold out today no wind though. Going to try burnstick next weekend maybe

Used worms and cheese mostly active on the worms

Me and a friend were out on the 4th we both got our limit in trout and 15+ perch. Trout were all 8-12" and perch were all tiny with the exception of one 8". Fished across from the island in approx. 14 feet of water. It was a good day!!

Smelty...what were you using for bait and any size to the fish?

Caught 2 small trout but they were active on the hooks.ice was 9 inchs last weekend

200 new fish released in the last couple of days. Some 20# brooders I hear! Anyway it doesn't matter where you fish or what you use people are catching lots of pan friers! I used worms and maggots in 15' of water from the belly boat and had (having) an awesome time.

Thanks

We caught a bunch of little guys on Friday, 8"-10" or so, but nothing big for us. Sunday was much slower... I got skunked and my wife just caught two around 6"-8" long. However, we did see a couple folks get lucky with big ones. Fts003: It's a pretty small lake. Gas motors aren't allowed, but there were a few inflatables and a little aluminum boat out there using electric trolling motors. We just anchored our canoe in the middle.

Wondering how lake is for trolling.can you use gas motor.how busy is it. Fairly big lake?

Nice shelf for trolling or jigging

9lb trout off shore, good fight! Fun little lake, kind of busy though, if you like to fish in seclusion I would suggest other lakes.

Does anyone know if there are good shore fishing areas here?
