Sturgeon lake north of ignace

[Crappie Rage]

Looking for a drive to place to take my son and buddy, my girlfriend and my father. My son loves Northerns and my father walleyes. Son will be 12, father is 72. Has anyone been to this lake? Would be in July. Needs to be somewhat reasonable in price. Bringing my own boat.

Sturgeon is a very clear lake trout lake. Walleye fishing is tough and there are much better walleye lakes close by to drive to. If your a Lake Trout guy and have the gear it's an excellent trout lake. Easy fishing. ;-)

Any other resorts you could suggest close by?

Good Afternoon! I have had two trips to Sturgeon Lake and have always stayed at Lumberjack Lodge. They are very friendly folks, the cabins are nice and at $275 per week per person I think they are very reasonable. I am headed up there at the end of June and can't wait for the great fishing!

Crappie, take a look at Hobbs Resort near grand rapids MB. Very reasonably priced and maybe an hour further drive than ignace, however excellant big northern fishing and Walleye fishing is fantastic as well....... I laso ccould recommend Gawleys Little Beaver lodge on Lac Seul. Lake speaks for itself resort is awesome and if bringing your own boat its only 50 a night per person and there is no dock or worfage fees either....

Just got back from a few days at Trappers Pointe Lodge on the north end of Sturgeon Lake. Fished Saturday the 17th through Tuesday. Fishing started off slow, but slow there is way faster than most of my fishing here. Between six of us over the course of three days, I think we boated close to 100 walleyes. No big trophies, but there were a few in the 25-27" range. The northerns weren't as aggressive as years past yet, so I hear. The main lake was still locked up while we were there, so we couldn't get into the lake trout either. Still plenty of fishable water.

This was my first year, and those that have been before have indicated that there have been individual 35-40 fish days in the past. The lodge was decent, as was the cost. I believe we all ended up paying about $340, which included a few dozen minnows between us as well and Wi-Fi, which was kind of nice. Not fast enough to stream netflix, but good enough for email and weather reports. We brought our own boat, and there were no additional costs for that.

Umma Gumma, Sorry to hear the lake was frozen, however this is good news for us. We are planning to head to Trappers 6/1 mainly for lake trout and hopefully they will still be shallow. We will fish for walleye if they are still shallow. This is our first trip to that end of the lake, can you give me any advise where we can find the walleye??. Thanks.

Most of our fish were caught on points and sharp breaks. As you head out of the lodge towards the main lake, there are a few bays to your right once you get through the narrow about a mile out. We found a few areas with downed timber about 10-12 feet down. We went through a ton of jig heads, but in between caught a lot of fish. There are points with structure all along that arm of the lake as you head out to the main lake. The all produced fish.

Lots of bays for northerns too in that area. I expect there will be more pike caught when you were there than we were able to get in to.

Sounds like you're familiar with the lake. Bring an extra prop just in case!

We've stayed @ Lumberjack the last 3 years. Reasonable and walleye fishing close by on lakes.
