Low water adjustment

[wjw]

I checked my notes from our 1999 trip to Nipissing/UFR when the water was at the "lowest level since 1908". I had a good week for both total pike and large fish but it started out poorly. After two days of frustration I abandoned the normally productive bays and concentrated on the entrances and nearby shorelines of these bays. When I made the switch I started hitting fish. If your are having trouble locating the pike you may want to try this.

 

I'm heading up again Friday. If I find something that is working I'll post it when I return. Did anyone establish a pike pattern this past week?

good on you for keeping an open mind.

 

all too often, people get hung up on 'old faithful' spots and techniques. when they don't produce, they toss their arms up in the air and blame it on low water, no fish or some other factor. seems to happen a lot of nipissing. fish are still there, adjust your game plan.
