Just booked a long weekend beginning of October on Pigeon Lake near Bobcaygeon. Staying up on the north end out of Trail's End Lodge for 3-days. Primary reason for the trip is to celebrate my 50th b-day with a couple of long-time buddies that I've been with on many fishing vacations up north. Most of these guys came into the fold of the annual trip to Pigeon Lake just after university in the late-1980s. My cousin and I go back into the 1970s, as does another guy we're friends with now, and it's pure coincidence (small world) that he too would spend a week up there every summer with his family. I'm sure so many memories will come flooding back when we're there. I can't wait. Now we collectively spend the annual trip up on Lake Kipawa and love it there for many reasons. We'd like to get some fishing in when we're on Pigeon Lake, and I'm just looking for a few general suggestions on the patterns (not locations) that time of year. I know that part of the lake fairly well and a couple of you had some location suggestions several weeks back. I'm not even sure what species are open during that time. Largemouth? Smallies? Musky? Walleyes? I suppose I can look that up in the regs. Just looking for a general sweet spot of tackle to take up with me based on common patterns in early-October. Thanks for the insights....much appreciated.
