I think that it got (incorrectly?) named for the STACKS of suckers in that lake.

Maybe somebody explained before,but what the heck do we have a lake named Carp in Quetico?

Have fished Carp several times, mostly in the bay leading to Sheridan. Not much luck, but two years ago a couple of my crew went back out at dusk and caught the biggest smallmouth I've ever seen. Emerald is a pretty lake with decent pike action.

Emerald is one of those lakes that has my number,fished it winter and summer and had zero luck.


Others have done much better.

What others have said and might add that Carp has a reputation with "insiders" of being a great walleye lake. (I only caught smallies and pike when I fished there.) Check out Polaris (a liftover west of Birch) for lots of SMB action, if not good sizes. That's all I can say online. --Goose

I've hit smallmouth and walleye on Carp Lake and also on day trips into Sheridan and Emerald.

Carp has good fishing for Smallies, Largemouth, Northern, Walleye and I believe Lakers.

I've base Camped on Birch and fished Carp quite a bit with a RABC, Canadian License, and an Ontario Parks Pass.

I've even made it to Emerald on day trips. The fishing on Fisher is pretty good. I caught my largest Northern Pike there, and I even remember using some packaged mealworms ( before the bait bans), and a small hook and bobbers made of twigs to literally DESTROY the perch on that lake. We took a limit for shorelunch quite a few years ago.

Hope you have fun.

Later,
