They say it takes all kinds----Not true. It's just that we HAVE all kinds.

A real keeper. Not so sure about the pike though

Another situation where "Oh filtered try again please" doesn't help much.

For some reason I find birds eating fish less disturbing than fish eating birds. Makes no sense---just nature's way. But I'll never go skinny dipping in pike 'infested' waters LOL

Thx for posting. I've been a JB fan for many years. ---such great lyrics That's 1 of my fave songs. When and where is this from?

I recall tossing a fillet into the lake and keeping the backbone😃

To say nothing of their 'cuisine'!😃😁 I understand that royals prefer lampreys!😁😄

At the risk of stating the obvious, it seems to me that the area has been hunted out by this lodge and others to the extent that the hunting part of their operation is no longer viable. Whether or not they can survive with just fishing is the big question.

I cannot comment on the fishing further out as i just have a canoe. I have canoed a lot out on G Bay, mostly in the FR area and I have seen quite a few instances of those seiche flows thru narrow channels. We live on the Notty just off the bay and have seen the water rise and fall at the beach. The water level in the river for quite a few kms upstream also depends on the onshore winds. It took me a while to realize that. I had always thought that the level was solely determined by the flow coming downstream. The level on the bay can change by at least a ft, esp in the fall when we get sustained NW winds. There is an online gauge at Cwood. If you check it out you can see how much the level can change.

I am not sure what your kayak is like or how strong a paddler you are. My bud with a kayak has a much smaller range than we would in a tandem canoe. Others are suggesting going beyond Woods bay. That would be further than my bud could go w/o a great effort. There are other closer areas of course, eg, to the North. My bud and I were there in a canoe last fall for the first time and just caught 1 keeper bass each. I think we would do better the next time.

I read somewhere that goretex will pass water if you are sitting on a wet surface. I don't know if that's true or not but my old goretex don't keep me dry any more.

So the OP posted his question about a year ago and hasn't come back since!!. Sorry, but any more suggestions I might make would not be related to fishing!

Looks like your 2 months of bad sleddin' are long gone!😃

Beer works quite well too.

FISHON is a good resource for finding ramps
