Haven't fished those lakes, but we catch Walleye at Makwa a fair bit and I got some whites while ice fishing there last year. About a 1.5 hr drive from Lloyd.

As far as I know picnic is a stocked trout lake. Peck is the best in the area for whites, and Ministikwan for walleye. I don't fish those lakes regularly, but that's what I hear from guys who do. From what I have heard lately is that lakes in that area are experiencing a collapse in populations in several species from too much angling and subsistence netting, which could be true or just rumors. You won't know unless you try.

Tried Turtle a few times, only caught hammer handle pike. I have family in the area and apparently Brightsand is pretty much dead. That's all I know

Little Fishing is good for whites in the shallows, decent walleye if you can find them. Turtle is good for walleye, pike, whites and burbs, if you can find them. Peck for walleye but they are small. Bronson was winter killed years ago as far as i know but could hold fish now. Brightsand a waste of time. I grew up in St. Walburg so i get regular fish reports from the area, most of it B.S i'm sure. Ha.

Turtle has nice whitefish and walleye, go to the north end for the whites, and indian point for the eyes.
