wvmedic Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Thought I would share some pictures of this years Zec Kipawa trip, we were there from July 24th to 30th. The weather was very hot, we did well though. I was very surprised to find that 90% of our fish was caught in 3 to 8 FOW, we only caught 10 to 20 Walleye in 16 FOW and they were suspended at about 10 feet deep. We arrived camp on Friday the 24th and setup camp, we finished early enough to get about 2 hours of fishing in. We fished early morning and late afternoon finishing up Wednesday evening and packing out Thursday morning for the trip home. With the heatwave in effect, my fishing partner and I still managed to boat nearly 100 Walleye in the little over 5 days and an unknown number of Northern. The numbers of Northern I would say was about equal to the Walleye, no big Northern but many above average. The Northern Express. Some scenery. Now for some fish. I did manage to catch a few fish on a jig, this time with a plastic trailer. My fishing partner and I decided to spend Wednesday afternoon in a back bay known for Northern just casting and swimming jigs for Pike. All of the Pike were hammer handles but it was a blast, I managed one Walleye while casting for Pike as well.

adempsey Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Sounds like a successful trip. I've had my eye on Two Moon lodge for a while. Hopefully I'll make a trip out there one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floater Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Great trip. Very nice up there but those washboard roads in are killer on the equipment! More than two or three days really starts too add up too with those extra costs for fishing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvmedic Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 adempsey, I want to fish Lake Kipawa in the near future. floater, yes the roads can be pretty bad, though this year they were in decent shape. The fees are not to bad, they did tac on a $15.00 fee per tent this year on top of the Zec fee though. Glad you folks liked the pictures.

wvmedic Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 can u fish, Is that a Zec? From what I can tell looking at the site from my phone, looks like a place I would like to visit. Do they have cabins available, and do most speak English, my French is non existent. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvmedic Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks Whopper, I'm learning. Still on the hunt for a place not as far in the bush, so Momma will go. She liked the scenery on the French and loves Nipissing, but I want her to experience Quebec also. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Nice! Looks like you stayed at the Canadian the night before. That's just down the road from my place. It's a beautiful area for sure! Edited August 30, 2015 by Joeytier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvmedic Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks Joeytier, yes you are correct. We did stay at the Canadian, not a bad place to stay johnnywalleye has been staying there for years on his trips to the Kipawa area. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty55 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Still on the hunt for a place not as far in the bush, so Momma will go. Jeff Assuming you went down the Maniwaki Rd, you could just go a bit further up the paved road and launch at Kipawa. After that it's just a matter of how far you want to travel by boat. My favorite lake for sure. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbag Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hey Jeff Glad you had a good trip. I am heading back to Club Trout lake in the same area on September 10th. Can't beat the walleye fishing in these areas for sure. Cheers Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvmedic Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 smitty55, we went in on the Bearn Rd. I really want to try Kipawa, not sure which Lodge I want to use yet though. sandbag, have a fun safe trip and yes the fishing is very good.

Can't beat the walleye fishing in these areas for sure. Cheers Craig Hi Craig, Which lake are you fishing at Club Trout Lake? Four of us fished Lac Winawiash 15-21 Aug. Two days of high humidex (high 80's) and one all day thunder storm curtailed our fishing to essentially 3 days out of 6. Still had fun.

wvmedic Posted September 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) I reposted some of the picturers and added a couple, since I learned internet explorer isn't friendly with posting pictures.

Sandbag Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Hi Jay We are staying in West Bay off of the main lake. That is the only area that I have fished. Have you been to Winawiash previously as well? Cheers Craig Edited September 7, 2015 by Sandbag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
