kalla lake or kreagle

[Genofish]

has anyone fished Kalla lake in Avon lately? This lake is land locked. But Kreagle lake has a few houses out and a couple of truck were parked along the lake.

I would like to try this lake, how do you access it?

The lake seems to be land locked...

Dosn't that lake freeze out in the winter?

Kalla lake is a very good lake to fish but no way to get on it unless you know a landowner or a helicopter . most of the landowners won,t give u access as they think they own the lake. good luck

about 10 years ago, me and a buddy went to Kreagle(I think that was the one) All I remember was we drove down some mighty narrow roads and came to an area that the lake came right to the road. We and others just parked on the edge of the road and walked. Was always thinking of getting back and checking it out. We did well on crappies and the northern action looked promising. I suppose alot changes in 10 years. Will maybe make the drive and check out sometime.

Grandpa Ray, are you a landowner on Kalla?

Or how have you ever fished it?

I have asked for permission to fish it before and the answer was "no".

[Grandpa Ray]

not a laNDOWNER BUT WE USED TO GET ON KALLA LAKE 10 OR 15 YEARS AGO ON THE SOUTH END OF LAKE TILL SOMEONE BOUGHT THE PROPERTY.THAT PUT AN END TO FISHING THERE

that sounds like the road i was on. I have heard that the crappies are decent in there.

so what are you implying G-pa Ray? That the landowners don't own the lake??? I think your view would change if you were one of the landowners you mention. I happen to have family that owns land on the lake and in the surrounding hills and am glad that they limit the number of people besides us that can fish it. Private lakes often offer the best fishing!

Land owners do not own the lake, they own the land.

Nobody owns the lake, any lake for that matter.

It is just too bad that people have to be selfish and not let someone walk across "their" property to fish these little out of the way lakes. I have wanted to try this lake for years, but never have.

I somewhat see your point Skeets but then pretty soon the word spreads that the lake is kicking out a bunch of fish and suddenly everyone and their brother is stomping through your land to fish out the lake. Before you know it the lake is filled only with stunted sunnies and hammer handles and you have issues with parking, people driving in your adjacent fields, etc, and money is missing off the dresser and your daughter is knocked up...I've seen it a thousand times....

Not to mention empty propane cylinders, other garbage and tearing up a person's yard with vehicles of one type or another. I hate to say it but that ruins it for all of us.

I've gained access to lakes and hunting land over the years. Part of that trust is keeping the bite on those lakes to myself. If I bring someone along it is understood that they are welcome only if they are fishing with me. Not to show up themselves unless they develop a relationship with the land owner as well.
