lol i have seen the pike one on the internet quite a few times myself a teacher at my school also included in one of his lessons in our environmnt and resource management class. i also saw it in the summer of 08 at a tackle shop in hearst ontario and the guy there said the smaller pike is around 30 inches and that the pic was taken in the area... dont think so it could have come from anywhere

Wow thanks for sharing such a great trip with all of us. Me and my dad have been talking about fishing the Attawapiskat for a few years now, ever since I went on my first flyin trip. We always say one day we will get there. But, after seeing this report and the one that Moosebunk posted I am absolutly amazed. We knew the fishing was good but thats incredible. Thanks again for sharing (I can't wait to fish there!)

I went there on a trip a few years back with my dad, uncle and cousin. The first 2 days we were there we fished the main lake and got absolutely nothing. One rock bass I think. Other than that there was no walleye, or pike. So after talking to the owner he recommended we try one of the back lakes for walleye, so we did. I can't remember the name of the lake (I think it started with an O) but we had to bring a motor in the car, drive down a dirt road for like 5-10mins, and find some boats at the end of the road. We then cruised down to the other end of the lake and did a 10 minute portage around a waterfall and began fishing at the lake we had chosen. We only got a few walleye, but we absolutely slayed the smallmouth bass. We caught probably 50-60 each day for 2 days at this lake and that was just at the bottom of the waterfall, we didn't even fish the rest of the lake, and the fish were good sized, with a few really big ones. It was so much fun. We haven't been back since just because of the work it took to get to that back lake, Other than that the cabin was awesome, as well as the boats on the main lake.

Hey, I'm heading up to Lake Ogascanan Lodge on Tuesday for a 4 day trip, and I was just wondering if anyone has fished there, and what it was like. Thanks

Hey im heading up to Lake Ogascanan lodge on tuesday for a 4 day fishing trip. I was just wondering if anyone has been there, and what the fishing was like just so I have a rough idea of what it could be like. Thanks

Wow, this is great, I've learned a lot of things that i didn't know about pike fishing from these posts. Thanks to everyone for all the help. The lake we are going to is Lake Ogascanan, it is 60 miles north of Temiscaming on a dirt road. The website has tons of pics from this year and there are quite a few of some large pike. As for depth and temperature, I have no idea we will have to find out once we get the fish finder in the water, we have never fished this lake so it will be a little tough to locate the fish right away. We will mostly be fishing for walleye, but i would love to go for pike just to change it up once in a while. Thanks again to everyone for the info!

yeah whenever we use lures with trebles we bend the barbs back just to save us the trouble, and we hardly ever use body baits thanks for the info!

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums and I would just like any information or tips on catching good sized northerns. I'm 17 years old and me and my dad are going up to northern Quebec in August for a fishing trip. We go on a fishing trip once a year, usually up to Hearst Ontario and we usually fish for walleye, and we always have success. But over the past few years, I have wanted to start catching big pike. We have caught a few big pike on jigs while walleye fishing but, I would like to target pike more on this trip. The lake we are going to is roughly 15 miles long, and the rod set up I will be using is a medium heavy 6'6 rod, with 10lb braided line, I know the rod is a little light, and I plan on getting some heavier line. Any help/ideas on areas to fish, lures and techniques would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
