wvmedic Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Hello all. I'm just back from my second trip to Beautiful Canada this year, well this month. Started on the French River and Lake Nipissing the last week of June finishing up our vacation on July 3rd spending our 32nd wedding anniversary fishing with my best fishing partner ever. To my trip to Quebec fishing in the Zec Kipawa with the guy's, between the two boats we boated close to 200 Walleye for the week most between 16 and 23 inches. At a guess, I would say we boated nearly 100 Northern Pike in the 25 to 32 inch range. So I am home 2 days and am already planning next years trip. I have never been to Western Ontario and I think I would like to see it as well. Looking for a good to exelant Walleye fishery with not to expensive cabins or modern camping facilities and my 14' 9.9 hp tinny would be acceptable on.. Not to far into the bush, my Wife would not go to Quebec with me, we were close to 3 hours into the bush from town. So what would be your top 5 Western Ontario Walleye fishing destinations? I forgot to mention, I would prefer just northwest of Sault Ste Marie around Wawa. Thanks, Jeff Edited August 2, 2015 by wvmedic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvmedic Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Just wanted to add, my 14' is a Lowe 140v. So it is a bit wider and deeper than the average 14' tinny. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acountdeleted Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 That's out of my expertise. When I hear 'North West' I think west of Thunder Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvmedic Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 jeremy84, I might be a little off geographically. I'll see if I can fix the heading. I was thinking of somewhere around Wawa area. That would be around an 850 mile drive from home for me. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvmedic Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) manitoubass2, I'm not opposed to those areas. I need to look into driving times and such, thank you for the suggestions. Those are on my radar, and have been on my bucket list of sorts.

Gerritt Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Some big waters for a 14'r with a 9.9...... You would want to pick and choose your days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvmedic Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Gerritt, I was thinking the same thing. I would and am looking over the maps for sheltered areas. I was white knuckled on the tiller when a storm blew in on the west arm of Nipissing at the first of the month. I was running as hard as I could to get out of the wind in some sheltered water.

Lac seul rainy lake then lake of the woods would be an epic trip for anyone who hasnt fished up here Agreed. Lac de Mills Lac, anywhere in Dryden, preferably Bluett lake, Jacobs lake in Thunder Bay is unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Some big waters for a 14'r with a 9.9...... You would want to pick and choose your days Big waters yes, but lots of launches with great spots within 500 yards of the launches lol. My favorite walleye spot is a 2 minute drive of the launch to northwest bay on rainy lake. Lotsa walleye, BIG walleye, perch, crappie, whitefish and big pike. I hear some good muskies too but ive never caught any there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 If your looking for numbers of walleye pike and bass I know a road that has about 30 awesome lakes on it. Can fish 4 lakes in one day if ya want to lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvmedic Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 manitoubass2, looking for quality numbers. Don't have to catch a 100 a day, would like a chance at a 10 pounder. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
