Little Raspberry/ Vivian Lake access

[alittlej]

I have a me day coming tomorrow and I want to go fishing. I have my new to me 14' aluminum boat and trailer and would like to get into Vivian or Little Raspberry lake in Meadow Lake park. I live in Cold Lake, but it's been years ( well a least a decade !!!) since I fished either. My question is which lake would be better to spend some time on tomorrow and which is easier for me to back my boat into to launch it..... And if I don't get anything no one will be held responsible for your advice !!! I am looking at my trip tomorrow as a me day and a couple of hours on the water would be a great way to spend my last day off before going back to work tomorrow .

Viva is easier to catch fish
Little ras has to be a car topper no trailered boats allowed
Splake should be crazy right now

Fished Little Raspberry before, but through the ice. Caught some nice splake.

Rasberry is car topper only, theres a sign on the road, Put it in back of truck and haul it the rest of the way in,

Sorry if im too late ,

I was recently up there, I had a blast fishing the Mistohay Creek and Rusty Creek in the Park on my way to Little Rasberry or Vivian. I hit Up Vivian to realize there is almost zero fishable bank ( Much Nicer Boat Launch though ) , and then ran into CO officers and asked about Little Rasberry. They said I would be stupid to get my mini van in there...

So by this , I assume the access was limited, and I went back to Mistohay Creek and also Rusty Creek.

Here are a few pics of the Fun my son and I had at Rusty and Misthay Creek..



P.S Beware of the heavy bear population in that area , my 6 YO son and I were forced out of Mistohay Creek by a huge black bear !



My Sons Little Pike ( I also Got the video ) Its great !



My Little Pike ( Beautiful Colors though )




And the Creepy eyes I kept seeing in the dark as we walked out, This set of eyes was in the direction I had to leave in ( This is not a joke, or colored or enhanced, This was me spot lighting him with my head lamp and taking a picture )



Also seen 100's of these little guys ( Baby Pike ) my son was catching them by hand even !



And some nice Action pics




Either lake you hit, That area is just beautiful and filled with awesome little fishing holes, especially if you go a few feet off the beaten trail !

Hope this helps and I was not to late !

Well I am back from Little Raspberry.....yep this is definitely a car topper access lake....deep pot holes in a very twisting and windy trail into the lake. My fish finder showed some fish between 12 to 20 foot depth. I was only out on the lake for 2 hours (which was my plan) and I had only 1 hit, but it sure was fun being out on a lake for only the 3rd time in at least 10 years!!! I am planning another "ME DAY" for my next set of days off
