Algonquin Canoe Trip

[Milty]

Im Heading up to Algonquin for a 4 day canoe trip b4 the salmon really get going down here. Was wondering if anyone has any specific info on where to fish and what for (Lakers, specks, Bass?), at this time of year on lakes and tribs along Hwy 60 as well as lake Opeongo and surrounding, any info is much apprecited, thanks in advance.

Im more familiar with the north end of the park... im pretty sure douG will be able to help you out.

Sure thing, Boss.

 

I've got some experience on Opeongo for lakers, mostly in the north arm. Try the trench in the bay near Hailstorm creek, and also the north shore near the portage to Proulx. You will need to fish 20-40 ft down for the lakers.

 

I don't usually target the sm bass, but I understand that there's plenty.

 

It's a very beautiful place - I hope you enjoy your trip, fish or no. Good Luck.

thanks DouG,..just the info I was looking for,..Ive canoed the area several times over the years,..very scenic,.just never fished it,..hopefully I will have some pics to share when I get back...lol,...However with the system movin in closer to the weekend,..Im thinkin they may shut down the way the specks have on my last 2 outings up north,..bad timing i guess.

Milty, I've had 10 fish days on Opeongo, and other 4 day trips that stunk. My free advice is worth every penny. Best to you and your crew.
