Manotak Lodge

I'm looking for any fishing information I can get on Perrault Lake and the accomodations at Manotak Lodge. What ever info good or bad you can provide would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Your in luck! I just got back - first and last time to there, lol.

Fishing was ok at best. Smallmouth were plentiful, but no Muskie and only a few very small pike. A bit early in the season for them, though.

Manotak was okay. Accomidations were decent, but they are overly particular about their rental boats. More so than I've ever had to deal with in my many trips to Canada.

How about the Walleye bite and how picky?

[Booch]

I can't really answer that, because I didn't go there for Walleye, but did see a few come through the dock. All that talked about it were jigging minnows and/or trolling them.

One of ours caught a 15" one on a small crankbait while smallmouth fish, though.

I haven't fished on Perault lake for several years, but when we used to go their we could catch walleyes consistently in the mornings and evenings. The evening bite was ussually the best this time of year. Find some good structure near deep water or fish the weed edge along the sandy flats of the big island and you should be able to figure out a pattern that works. We did alot of back trolling with lindy and spinner rigs baited with minnows and crawlers.

Durind the afternoons we usually skiped the walleyes and targeted bass and pike. Eat your super early or after dark so that you don't miss the action at dusk.
