I have caught lakers in Mellon ( Bass Lake for the Locals) using
flat steel or lead core line. The deepest part of the lake is in the west end
of the lake out from what is called Big Baldy rock. Walleye are found
in what is called Big Bay there is a rock face on the south side
and a shoal in the middle, bass and pike are also all over the lake.

Big Baldy is out on its own near the west side of the lake. The shoal
is just south of the island with the big boat house on the west side of the island. There is usually a marker ( old propane tank and a weed
bed)

Hiked back to round lots and yes its a rugged trail but that's why theres alot of fish and nice ones..... got back into Haley once and within a half hour we had Pike and Bass then the lightning started. I took my wife the long way one time cuz she was being a whiner........

Love that area and would love to take a day and explore back there!

Hey Matt can you camp on those lakes. The ones i was telling you about in Apsley are great but no camping.

i dont think you can camp on little mellon,.. but most definitly on bigmellon as its not in the conservation area or whatever... i was actually thinkin on camping there this weekend and trying for some eyes and lakers.

Ive watched people go into Mellon with Camping gear and they said they were staying on an Island???? Little mellon is diffently a No.
