If it's a lake H trib it will most likely hold fish. Give it shot.

Give it a shot I meant to say. Likely had small runs of trout but I'd wait for some more rain and cooler temps to see anything. Might also be some resident fish.

Anyone has tried fishing there?

I dont believe it gets a run of fish, the north channel section doesnt tend to have optimal spawning/stocking (Other the the rapids). We always considered it pretty dead when it came to anadromous species. 

 

I do know of the walleye/pike/muskie and oddly sturgeon that swim in the serpent, there are rumors of brookies as well but I have never seen them.

 

Worse comes to worse you give it a shot

My guess is that for that region you'd be better off on Manitoulin. I'm thinking a lot of those streams are likely composed of larger rock  and as @IR4J said, probably not the ideal place for anadromous salmonids. The island has a lot more streams with sand and fine gravel I'd think. As far as  pike/bass/walleye though - sounds like you may be in the right place. Good luck!
