Casino Lac Leamy - Micro Report

[Leecher]

Well guys, since today was my day off, the plan was for me to get out onto the hard water and spend some quality time teasing the fish

 

Last night's forecast didn't look to promising.... they were calling for 5-10cm of snow overnight and turning to freezing rain early morning and then rain..... let just say I got up later than usual and did not target my favorite lake for pickeral, instead went to Casino Lac Leamy and had a lot of fun

 

Temperature was -2C, heavy overcast and looked like the rain was going to come down but that did not happen Instead as soon as I got up, had a coffee and started preparing my fishing gear for this outing.

 

Left home at 9:45am, got to the lake at around 10:00am and not a soul to be seen.... had the lake to myself and was real happy about that. Once I arrived, snapped a pic of the casino, where I was fishing and the setup I had.

 

Here are the pics:

 

First the Casino

 

 

Then where I was fishing, in front of a creek, leading to the Gatineau river in 10 - 15 fow on a drop off over a weed bed

 

 

and last my setup.... jigging rod, the manual 6" auger and the rest of the gear

 

 

Just could not ask for more.... I managed to catch a few small perch and had a lot of hits & misses throughout my stay. Had a huge fish hit my jigging lure out of nowhere and lost it near the hole.... did not see what it was but figured it was a pike, with the runs and head shake it gave.

 

All in all caught 4 perch and lost a snot rocket near the hole.

Had a great time and at 2:30pm call it a day, had to get back home to prepare diner.

All fish were CPR'd.... here is the rest of the pics

 

First perch

 

 

Second one

 

 

Third

Hope you enjoy

Thanks Glen.... The hotel is right beside the casino but looks on top of it.... I was at the opposite side of the lake on the north side. Had a peaceful time today.... not a soul to be seen but just wish that I could move the 50 (highway) dawn noise from traffic It's the only noise other than the birds I could hear from where I was LOL

 

Yeah that bigger fish caught me be surprise and was not keeping a tight line.... that is how it got away and it sure brough excitement and got me to stay a little longer.

Nice one Jacques,

 

 

I am amazed those perch you catch hit such large baits, ours up here will occasionally do that, but they are more often than not really finnicky.

 

 

I am also a big fan of those 'fishfry' your using.

[TroutnMuskieHunter]

Hey Jacques....nice "fishfry" mon chum ....

 

Enjoyed your report....when are you coming out here for some Pike and Walleye action??

[Leecher]

Thanks Simon.... I'm amazed too. So small and yet, can swallow the fish fry including the treble hook

The thing is that I'm not targeting them and somehow catch them anyway.... go figure

 

When I do target them, I usually rig a small jig head tipped with Gulp fish fry.... real deadly combination

 

Talk about the fry.... started to use it this season and I'm a big fan also..... that stuff is potent and really works wonders!!

[Mike the Pike]

Well Jacques great mini report unfortunately I won't have to to hook up with you and the gang on the ice this year

 

Finishing off my garage has been rather time consuming.So perhaps this summer we can hook up.

 

Must be nice to leave home and be on the water in only 15 mins wow.

Thanks Mike.... I certainly understand the hard work that is involved in undertaking home renovations. Hope that you can finish the project and enjoy the end results. As for hard water fishing, well you know that it wont be here for too long. I was certainly looking forward to meeting you this winter for some hard water action.

 

Alas it will have to wait til summer. I know exactly where to go for some good fishing. Lac St-Marie is a favorite lake of mine come soft water and let me tell you that you won't regret it.

 

Yeah Lac Leamy is only a short drive away from my place and it's a great place to target when you don't want to drive too far

Until then... tight lines

Jacques
