French river

[taper]

I can't personally verify this but was told a group of Americans were on the main channel of the French river a week ago and not having much luck. The water level is still very high and fishing has been tough. They landed very few fish during their stay but did manage a 52 lb. musky. There are pictures of it and if I can get my hands on them I will post them. Just thought some here that frequent the area may be interested.

It has been tough, the water is still pretty high and had to scrape snow off the windshield of the boat!

 

Our group, first timers, were pretty successful last week with "football size bass" a bunch of Pike and a BIG one that they missed. They couldn't find the Walleye though.

 

I should mention that we, they were fishing the Upper French river near Lake Nipissing.

Catching bass on the beds isn't very hard Hopefully they realized that bass season wasn't open yet.

Oh! I'm sure catching all those bass was an accident, just like the 48" Muskie that was brought in for a photo opp.

 

Todd (my husband) grabbed that fish so fast that it made everyone's head spin.

Dawn, welcome to OFC!

 

I can assure everyone that Todd and Dawn have more respect for that fishery than anyone. The campers are well advised about the regs and they are enforced strictly there.
