blizzcat Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 hi all! Just some questions about Lake Nipissing, I've heard it's a really nice lake to fish in and I was wondering what it is like for December 14-16?? I'm looking to go up for that weekend maybe.. but I'm wondering if i should look for a cottage and boat rental, or for an ice fishing package.. (i'm a broke student and am browsing various packages/deals and such) Does anyone know that area at all?? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) Okay..now I gotta make sure Randy was indeed correct. This is what I dug up ! Also the only time I've ever seen a season on Sunfish! ................... On Lake Nipissing (division 27) and the West Arm of Lake Nipissing (division 15) some fishing seasons have been extended to provide increased angling opportunities. In addition, the ministry has also changed the quota for some species in the West Arm to be consistent with those in the rest of Lake Nipissing. See tables below for details. Species 2007 Open Seasons for Lake Nipissing and the West Arm Walleye and Sauger Jan. 1 to Mar. 15 and 3rd Sat. in May to Oct. 15 Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass 4th Sat. in June to Nov. 30 Northern Pike Jan. 1 to Mar. 15 and 3rd Sat. in May to Nov. 30 Muskellunge 3rd Sat. in June to Nov. 30 Yellow Perch Jan. 1 to Mar. 15 and 3rd Sat. in May to Oct. 15 Sunfish Jan. 1 to Mar. 15 and 3rd Sat. in May to Nov. 30 Lake Whitefish Jan. 1 to Mar. 15 and 3rd Sat. in May to Nov. 30 Lake Sturgeon Closed all year 2/… Edited October 21, 2007 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its just what I would recommend for a beginner. You can fish in the whirlpool from shore using roe or minnows and have success but from your first post it sounded like you were newbies and unless you have all the right equipment Im not sure of your success.

KD JOHNCOX Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi: I'm a long time cottage owner and quite familiar with the fishing, rentals.... December is a bit of a down time for the lake and with the warmer Decembers we have had ice is usually unpredictable. There are great ice fishing opportunities at the southern end of the lake with several guys offering ice bungalows that include accomodation for 6-8, TV, DVD, tounge & groove pine interior, propane fireplace, picture window, bbq, heated outhouse, bait, tip-ups, transportation to and from shore... Yep, just a step above your rec.room! I think you can find them at southshorelakenipissing, one is called Anglers Haven and the newest (with top of the line equipment and a great host-Paul) is www.sbaybungalows.ca. If you are looking for more info let me know. Enjoy, Kent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfish1965 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 are charters the only way to fish lower niagara if you don't own a boat?? No..there's lots of shorefishing opportunities, but if you want to be pretty much guaranteed fish, I would definitely get a charter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
