lake?

[gopher6770]

I really need some advive on which lake to plan a fishing trip. I have three lakes in mind LOTW Zippel resort and two resorts in ontario, cedar and eagle lake. Any info or suggestions on which lake you would recommened would be appreciated.

Take Eagle Lake off your list, it is the most overated Lake in NW Ontario.
Cedar Lake...I have heard mixed results. Some people really slam the walleye, some people don't.I really love the area though..

LOTW...I would probably say is your safest choice from those options.

What species are you targeting? I might be able to give you another suggestion or 2...

I only fished Eagle breifly. We tried for muskies but had no luck so I can't offer much help there.

I spent a week on Cedar. Unfortunately we caught it during a Mayfly hatch and the walleye fishing was tough. Not impossible as we still limited out by pitching jigs and plastics on rock piles. BUT, smallies in this lake are unreal. Many, many over 4# with some topping out around 7#. Also pulled a 42" northern that week while drifting for eyes.

LOW always seems to treat me right. Lots of fish to be caught. However I like the chunkier walleys of NW Ontario over LOW.

That's my experiences any how...

The best fishing I have ever had is 155 miles N by NW of Pickle Lake, Ontario North of Lac Seul)...up route 599. End of the road, start of the winter road system.

It is north of the 11th baseline, thus NO LIVE BAIT. 1/4 ounce jigs...and tails...walleye every minute: many doubles, as well...many good size pike..and the cleanest air on the planet.

The lakes up there have NO OUTPOSTS..NO HOUSES...NO GAS STATIONS...NO MOTELS...lol

Try Lower Windigo and/or Horseshoe( on the pipestone river).

You better bring lots of fuel...it is a long walk back down the 150 mile road.

Good Luck...and I hope you find an area you can brag about.
