Ontario Wilderness musky fishing. The best place to catch muskies. Muskie or musky, no matter what you call them, fishing for them can be tedious and frustrating. They are the fish of 10,000 casts, but not on this lake.
Good to see you back sharing another awesome backwoods lake adventure! Are the buck tails you’re using made by your son? If yes how about a plug on how we can get some!
Yes these are made by my son and they were once available in quite a few stores, but he's busy raising daughters and has not been making lures for a few years, so I don't think any are available anywhere at this point.
I’m portaging into a numbers lake like this in July off of Eagle Lake. You’ll catch a lot of fish but you won’t catch much over 40 but it should be fun. There’s probably quite a few lakes like this up there. You just have to pay to get to them.
Yes there are, I have fished just about all of them. If you want to contact me directly by email I can probably offer info on them. And by pay, I assume you mean with LABOR!
There are hundreds of lakes in extreme NW Ontario that have no boat access or very limited boat access, that get literally no pressure. Some are very large and undoubtedly hold giants, but how to get to them. There are logging roads that go by many of them, but NO boat ramps of any kind. It's the stuff dreams are made of....how are you able to camp there? Must be a Canadian resident or with a Canadian resident, as ONLY Canadians can camp on Crown Land, and nearly ALL of that giant wilderness up there is Crown Land. Folks need to know that if they think they can just go up, find a lake, camp next to and fish...and make no mistake, it gets patrolled by enforcement float planes, you WILL get caught!
I have fished dozens of them. That's really what this channel is about. You can camp most anywhere, but you need a crown land camping permit. Many of them get little to no fishing pressure. There are a few that grow big fish. Unfortunately most of the ones that have muskies in them have small fish that don't get above 35 inches and even that's not much of a possibility in most of them. On one lake I caught 50 muskies in one full day of fishing and only three of them crossed the 30-inch line.
