jedimaster Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 So it looks like the plans are set and everything is a go. The family is picking up and hauling across Canada. First off I will not be trading in my leafs jersey for a Canucks jersey. Second I want to take a Sigler day to fish something legendary along the way. Where do I make a pit stop for a day to fish? Northern pike? Musky? Waleye? Brookes? Plead your case let's here your suggestions? I don't want to venture too far off the drive between so if it's close to the highwaythat would be ideal.

Sinker Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Nipigon for me. I prayed the truck would break down as we passed thru there last week on my trek out there! I almost got my wish, and actually talked to Simon on the way thru lol. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) LOTW and Nippigon were on my list, maybe one of those members will see this and be persuaded by a case of beer... Edited June 18, 2014 by jedimaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 You could fish Nipigon right at 17 and catch anything from brookies to Chinooks. Definitely your best bet if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushart Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Rrruh?...Beer? I hear Lake Nipigon is on many peoples bucket lists---with Lakers rivaling the NWT Would'nt be too quick to rule out Lac Seul---hour north of Dryden---not uncommon to get lots of willys in the 24-30 inch range--all day what time of year are you pullin the pin??

jedimaster Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Only 19 more sleeps to go... I figure I will get my fill of trout fishing once in BC, sure Lakers maybe not but... I was thinking more musky, Pike, Walleye, brookies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushart Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 You can hit your Musky/Pike/ Walleyes in one stop shopping at Wabigoon/Dinorwic....Of Course world famous Eagle lake---LOTW and even again Lac Seul all bodies covering the species spread If there's some board members here from The Soo----they know where the specks are as well---again Nipigon and Don't tell anybody.. ....but a quick look around the Ignace area has some stocked Speck lakes with "BIG" ones in em---small boat country though---no launches to speak of Consider also---fishin licences as you hit different provinces--could add up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted June 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I don't really plan on fishing in Man, sask and AB. I already bought a BC license, and I have my Ontario... I wonder if I can get a refund on the remaining two years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Off topic, but what do you have lined up in BC? Are you living right in VAN? I didn't like it there at all. One day in that city was enough. Housing costs are off the wall. I still can't figure out what the appeal is for my brother, but he seems to love it there. He's a finish carpenter, working on high end homes in the VAN area. I just don't like the city life....anywhere. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushart Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 You know....you know... I'm thinkin your not haulin a boat (correct?) A real good fishery-----super easy to access---even fish from shore---and close to shoppin St Mary's River in The Soo---not sure what's happ'n early July though---prob easy to find out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captpierre Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Fraser River for a 6 ft sturgeon. On my bucket list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 The next sturgeon on the checklist is a double digit from shore. As for why and where, just because and probably Burnaby or Poco area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Good luck with your new venture. Lake of The Woods for me. Out of the way, way out is Lynn Lake Man. Giant Lakers and Grailing. Don't be in too much a rush trading in your ON. Outdoors card. You may need it sooner then you think. Be safe man. Ever see Deliverance? Don't stop for gas in Sask. or wear something green when you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowSlayer101 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 any lake near the thunder bay area, most of them have big pike and you have a good chance at them from shore, you will be surprised at the amount of lakes in that area, tons of fish too and none/almost no pressure from other anglers. I travel that way often come summer right up until winter, trust me when i say any lake you stop at in that area will get you fish, its like heaven!
