When given a choice to fish Nippissing, I generally fish Nippissing. So many species and generally readily available. Even though our camp is closest to Lavigne, I usually drive the extra 15 minutes and fish the east end. I’m mainly a pickerel fisherman and that’s where really good fishing is, although we get plenty of Pike and Bass on the east end of the lake as well. Weather (winds) can be a factor though and west end is probably a fair bit more protected than main basin. I made at least one hairy ride back from the Manitous this summer. I have heard that you don’t need to run as far out for pickerel in the fall from the west end, but that’s just from talking to guys at the Lavigne boat ramp. I really only know the area around Lavigne on the west end and that’s good bass and pike country, I don’t generally target pics around there. Not a musky guy though, so can’t help with that!
