limeyangler Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Sounds like an awesome trip you have planned. Take lots of jigs and twister tails, cranks etc. I worked in the Kenora, Dryden area back in the late 80's. The fishing oppertunities are endless up there. Sounds like great fun. If i can help out shoot me a pm. If ya need to pitch a tent in the Dryden area we have lots of acres right on Wabigoon.
bigbuck Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 There's lots of places to pitch a tent on LOTW. I have seen a few in use during my trips up there. If you fellas have a boat, you will be laughing, it will be a trip of a lifetime for you. Enjoy it and enjoy the time with your uncle. BTW, 3 cans of muskol probably won't be enough........
Spiel Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Drop by my house and I'll give you an autographed Phaneuf hockey card. Seriously. haha wasnt tryin to..well.... maybe a bit lol Trust me, I've been at Dan's home and you'd be wrong to miss out on the offer!

Enjoy! so i hear! and change of plans now too, originally we were gunna go up thru north bay, up the center of ontario to get to hearst but now i guess were gunna be following the quebec boarder up to hearst, gunna add a few hours to the drive but from what i hear, thats the more sceanic route but same plans for the way back, following the shoreline down the western side of ontario back home, probly stop at georgian bay on the way home also!!
bigbuck Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Actually, there will be flies in the summer that do bite!! They are nasty buggers!! On LOTW, there is a little spot on Route Bay about 25mins from Kenora on Storm Bay Road that I've seen people camp on, it's not far from great fishing waters.

guitardude_15 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 I have made this drive a few times, I worked the past few summers on lake of the woods Dan nailed it with the sights to check out. Last year on my way up i stopped and fished the nipigon river, 8 brookies biggest 23" smallest 17" and about a dozen lakers biggest 31" All were taken on bucktail jigs in a smelt pattern! Once you're in kenora definitely check out figure 8, they are great guys and will help you out. Lake of the woods is no miss for walleye, bass, crappie, lakers, pike and musky. I love that lake and hope you have a blast pm if you have any questions.
trapshooter Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 There is a nice Provincial Park on Hwy 72 call Ojibway PP. It's on the way to Sioux Lookout, about 30 mins off the trans canada hwy. The turn for Hwy 72 is 30 Kms EAST of Dryden. The lake the park is on is called Little Vermilion and is loaded with smallies. Just an FYI. Hope you have a great trip.

Musky or Specks Posted June 18, 2011 Report Posted June 18, 2011 (edited) Just got back from a trip to Nakina/Geraldton, Hearst The walleye fishing in Fushimi PP was unbeatable definately worth a couple of days. Ware the bears, saw 13 on our trip, 3 in one day in our campsite. They weren't aggressive or anything as soon as they saw it was humans they bolted pretty quick and didn't even come back for a nightime visit although I was so hammered they could have ate me and I wouldn't have known. A sample of the pike fishing we had http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lowpZrHSxe8 Oh and the no=seeums are out in full force I'm covered in bites. Edited June 18, 2011 by Musky or Specks
