Lake Nipigon

[Essox]

Greeting fellow anglers, this is my 1st post on the Ontario Fishing Community forum and thanks for lettings me join and Merry Christmas to all. My favorite lake is the stunning and very remote Lake Nipigon in NWO. Just curious who else targets this wonderful lake? It sits just north of highway 11, never warming up past mid fifties and is a natural wonder with the cliffs, bluffs and raw beauty looking like it was just scrapped up by the glaciers. It can be a big fish lake with record lake (60 lb.+) and brook trout (14lb.+) In the shallows are big pike and tasty walleyes. The lake has special rules to limit damage with only a single barbless hook (can be treble) allowed and special limited creel limits. Also the land surrounding the lake is all crown land with the few cabins only on little Orient bay in the southeast corner being the only exception. Not a lake to be taken lightly with it's being a giant bowl of 60-some by 40-some miles in size. It's daunting the feeling of being alone in an amazing wilderness but also a dangerous one, be prepared. I won't fish it if the winds up to or over 12 mph, or even 10 mph for a northwest wind. Have fished parts of the northeand southeast  parts of the laast ke, barely scratched the surface. Only Canada could have a lake like this. What's been your experience fishing on the big lake? Thanks for letting me post.
