Annual spring trip

[huey graphite]

I've done an annual spring fishing trip with some friends for about 22 years now. Almost all of them to Rice Lake, Nipissing or Hay Bay and always very end of May or early June. In recent years, walleye fishing on these lakes has been disappointing so I'm looking for a new destination. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Ideally something within 4-6 hours drive from Niagara. TIA

I would consider a different part of Rice Lake or Quinte but the slot size and possession limits on Nipissing are a deterrent. We don't keep alot but it would be nice to do a fish fry one night of our 3 night trip. When on Rice Lake we usually fished the southwest end between Hall Landing and Gores Landing.

They changed the slot size on Nipissing this year.  Limit is still 2 but you shouldn't have a problem putting together a fish fry.

Check out Gow-bush-Kon Lodge , located in Gowganda . No real slot size for walleye  allowed 3 under 18 inches and one over . Decent fishing also great Bass and pike as season is open year round. Still have some openings for May opener and the week after.
