thanks for the info guys...
Musky or Specks- Ramsey lake is about 45mins away in sudbury i believe? seems like theres some info on it and will dig around, thanks!
Joeytier- looking for a place to access that "little river" from shore, so far no luck... and manitoulin, wouldn't know where to begin, but will definately look around the .net and see if we can find anything up that way, we did end up in little current last time we were there, people were fishin' but it was a family ice cream trip so no tackle was taken...
My biggest fear is ending up on private property and causing an issue... no problem putting the leg work in tho
