Hi all, I am heading to Grundy next weekend. Does anyone know what species are in the lakes within the park?
cant remember the name but its the one behind the amphatheater. Nice pike and surprisingly huge bass. Only really seen them caught at dusk, good bite around that time.
Other lake is way back there, again cant remember the name. Good pike, bass and perch. Again good lake.
Canoe is the way to go.
Great PP, cant wait we are there in august. Hint; bears are everywhere, make sure you keep a clean campsite
I've got a travel trailer, so all my food and garbage is inside. I may get a prowler, but they shouldn't stick around my site. Thanks for the heads up though.
i found a map from the park listing the various species in the lakes. I'll have to give at least one a shot.
Caught some hammer handle pike in Gurd with a Mepps Black Fury tipped with a worm. Didn't get a chance to try the other lakes...... Drove the gravel road to the lake at end of the park, a bit narrow and only room for one vehicle to pass. Looked nice with an easy launch area once you get there.
Please post a report if you get the chance.

grundy has pike walleye, bass crappie, perch and even a few whitefish, gut has pike bass walleye, and crappie, cant remember what all gurd has but its a awsome bass fishing spot, and the lake at the end of the road, has walleye, pike, bass, and back when i worked there, there was like a 40 lb muskie that was caught out of it... bin almost 10 years since ive bin there...
gurd is pike and bass. Gets hit pretty hard but they are there.
Take your garbage to the waste site every night. Keeping in your camper is asking for trouble. If they smell it they may try to get it.
back when i worked there we used to have to chase bears to try to get them to stay away from campers... remember chasing a bear with a shovel, and my boss had a can of bear spray... was not paid enough lol one time a camper left the door open to the garbage garage, and another camper came along, seen the bear inside, closed the door and locked the bear in, then flagged us down and told us... i was like seriously! little nervous opening up that door lol used to be a old bear down the hwy at the dump... thing had to be 600 lbs, we used to dump garbage out of the dump truck and the stupid thing would be there eating the garbage as it was falling and hitting him in the head... no fears...
portage lake outside of the park on the other side of hwy 522, used to be great fishing back there, shallow and weedy at one end, and deep at the other. very very little fishing pressure, theres a old scouts camp on it... i think the last time i was over that way though, they pulled the bridge out so you couldnt drive there anymore... but could probably get a canoe in there...
Good fishing all around for sure. Fish early morning, late afternoon. You should have fun. Species already mentioned in previous posts.
Good luck
The lakes with in the campgrounds are heavily pressured and fish tended to be small. As others are saying the lake at the end of the park is the place to be. It drains into the Pickeral River and is where you can catch Walleye and generally larger Bass and Pike.
google "fish online". It's an online map by the mnr that tells you what is in what lake. Although other peoples input could be more accurate lol
