Manitoba Northern Fishing

[PASSIONFORTHEEYES]

Any advise on a drive to northern fishing trip during the last weekend of May?

I am going to Cross Bay on Cedar Lake that weekend. It is a drive to lake, about 12 hours from St. Cloud. I have never gone this early, but others I know have, and have done very well. They mostly fish for walleyes though. I have gone in June, July, and September. Every time we have gone we have gotten a lot of northerns in the mid 30" range, and always at least one that has gone over 40" (the biggest 43"). If you go to the Moak lodge HSOforum it has a newspaper clipping with a picture of a northern that was netted from the lake that claims to be 70" Although it doesn't seem that long it is definitely is huge! I forgot to mention they are pretty inexpensive to stay up there at any resort.

You want a nice drive, BIG lake, lots of Pike of all sizes and some real huges ones and millions of Walleyes mixed in.
Try a drive up to Cormorant Lake in Northern Manitoba.
About 70 Mile North East of the Pas.
Small Indian village Lake side you can camp at and have a blast for the price of GAS to get up there, food and drink and the camp site?
No people, lots of water and great fishing.
18 hours drive from the Twin Cities, but well worth it.
Lots of places to stop along the way also.
Used to go up a lot before we bought the Island.
Fantastic.

gman 46,
I would love to get a little more information from you if I could about northern fishing in Manitoba....obviously would like to keep it relatively cheap if possible. Can you help?
Thanks!
