Wabigoon River & Clay Lake

[MinnesotaMuskie]

Any body been out on the Wabigoon...or on Clay?

We have done well on Haymarsh Bay on Clay. We are able to access the Wabigoon and have done well on some backwaters.

We are heading up June 4-11...We are about 15 miles north of Vermillion Bay...can anyone put me on some big Pike?

Couldn't tell you much about wabigoon river. We did see and catch quite a few big ones out of Lake Wabigoon near Dryden, Ontario last summer.

i'm going to clay this year. can you tell me where i can get lake maps?

I spent a week fishing Clay Lake in the mid 90's. We stayed at a lodge on the lake. The walleye fishing was pretty good, with a few spots that really produced. As I recall the largest pike that was caught was 38-39 inches, nothing spectacular, but a decent fish. I am not sure of the forums policy on recomendations (+ or -), so I won't go into details on why we never went back. Just make sure to check the fish consumption advisory for the lake. If you want send me a private e-mail and/or your contact info. I would be happy to provide you with greater details about our trip. Jim

We are going in June as well 4-11. We should connect via e-mail and I can give you some spots. There are so many small lakes to explore...never get bored.

We targeted walleyes and by accident foudn JUMBO perch...I do mean JUMBO. They are the sweetest tasting fish I have ever eaten.

I prefer pike...so I was kind of the outcast in our group.

What camp are you at? We may be at the same...Are you a "Pork and Beaner" or a "Doodler?"

If it the same camp...you will know what I mean.

[MinnesotaMuskie]

Oh yes...

Forgot to tell you...I lived in Boyceville for 4 years, 88-92.

Maybe we know one-another...

i think we're stay at a place called north star lodge. they say it's the only camp on the lake? wonder if it's the same lake. if it is you got to tell me where to find the perch!

[MinnesotaMuskie]

I am very familar with North Star...we are at a place close by, about 12 miles away. North Star is a very nice lodge...cabins look good. All of their boats appear new and top shelf. You are correct that North Star is the only lodge...Clay is very large and they have several other lakes they fish. I think you will enjoy.
