Atikokan, Ontario

Hello guys,

I am trying to find the name of a lake for a northern pike ice fishing trip. I know the lake is near Atikokan, Ontario. I also know the lake is deep and clear, with big shallow bays connected to the main lake basin. I know there are lake trout and northern pike but not sure of other species. Can anyone help?

I know that area like the back of my hand, but you just described almost every single lake in the immediate vicinity .

If you can get a little more specific I can most likely help.

Could it be Clearwater Lake?

I really wish I had more info....I think it's primarily known as a lake trout lake.

From looking at a map I was thinking it was Marmion Lake....would that be right?

 

I'm basically looking for a lake that I can do some tip up fishing for trophy northerns.....is there a better choice that anyone may know of?

Post a picture of the map. Perhaps someone can identify it, if they see its location.

I don't even have that.....sorry. I just looked on mapquest and the only big lake I see near Atikokan is Marmion Lake. I apologize for being so vague....I wish I had more information.

Could it be White Otter Lake??

I think it might be Clearwater West. Has anyone fished this lake? I think it's about 30 minutes or so to the northwest of Antikokan.

There's a lodge on Clearwater (http://www.brownsclearwaterlodge.com/)

 

I know it's deep & clear and has lakers. White Otter Lake also has lakers....White Otter is a beautiful lake. We vacationed up there last summer on Turtle Lake, and spent a day with a tour guide visiting WOL, the castle, and looking at pictographs.

 

Just some amazing country up there....

 

Best of luck...
