walleye wanderer Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Well seeing as there have been several trip reports regarding Eddie Norths Beteau Lake camp I have decided to just put up a few pictures in lieu of an editorial, after all we have heard numerous times what a great guy Eddie is and how well equipped his camp is. Always an interesting drive up... This trip we took everything including the kitchen sink Met a couple of rookies on the dock at Beteau…lol, the Fishing Canada boys were just leaving after a week of filming. The "Leuenberger Lift" The "Blender Boys" The "Walleye Wanderers" with are hosts Craig & Eddie Eddie the baker... Frank proving that fish will eat nearly anything. I won't have believed it but I was in the boat, a nice Walleye caught on a scrap of Franks wives black facecloth with a couple of hooks strategically inserted…thanks for the laugh Frank! Spring Beteau Moose Thanks Eddie for the memorable week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walleye wanderer Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 when is the ideal time to target the big pike up at eddies? is beteau lake the best lake for them? Not having fished any other of Eddies camps I am not qualified to say that Beteau is the best Pike lake however there are certainly large numbers of big fish in there! In 2011 we visited Beteau in late August (low water conditions) and caught many a nice Pike with good weight as they had the feedbag strapped on all summer long. In 2012 we visited Beteau in the Spring (high water conditions) and experienced ferocious action however the fish were typically a little thinner than the fall. I believe that early spring, very shortly after ice out is the best time to target Northern Pike and this years trip should verify that fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Mike, one of my favorite places too. You better hope things warm up soon, still making ice up here, had to make an extension for the auger a couple of weeks ago....40+" of ice and 2-3 feet of snow insulating it.

Rich Clemens Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks a lot. Post a report like that and Iook out the window and all I see is snow !!!!

Here's hoping for a really warm April. Fortunately there's always Nipigon as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
