   Walleye fishing vacations
and Northern
Pike fishing vacations in Ontario Canada is relaxing, comfortable
and easy at our secluded island vacation lodge and resort in
the remote Canadian wilderness of Northern Ontario Canada. Lake
Wabatongushi is a prolific Walleye and Northern Pike fishing
lake with an abundance of great fishing habitat. Catching shore
lunch or your fish dinner is relatively easy and you have the
added bonus of numerous opportunities to see and photograph wildlife
such as Moose, Black Bear, Loons and Bald Eagles.
 Wabatongushi Lake is a relatively shallow and friendly
fishing lake for Northern Ontario Canada with an average depth
of 17'. It's 10,000 acre area contains an abundance of varied
fish structure such as rocky reefs, sandbars and weed beds allowing
easy fishing for Walleye, Northern Pike and Perch. The extensive
shallow bays are ideal fish spawning areas for northern pike
while the many rocky reefs and 27 rivers and streams make optimum
walleye fish spawning areas.
 The
best vacation months to fish for Walleye are May, followed by
June then September. The water is cooler in the spring and late
summer making the walleyes more aggressive. Fishing first thing
in the spring the Walleyes fishing tends to be best the river
mouths and relatively shallow shoals, usually less than 15' of
water. During the summer vacation months the walleye fishing
tends to be a little lazier but there is still no problem catching
plenty of fish. A lot of the summer Walleyes are in the deep
edges of the weed beds. In the fall the walleyes go a little
deeper although we still mostly catch walleyes in less than 25'
of water.
 The best vacation months to fish for Northern Pike
are July and August followed by September. Fishing when the abundant
weed beds are up produces lots of Northern Pike fishing action
in July and August and the Northern Pike are looking for food
to grow. A great idea is to take breaks to enjoy our great Jumbo
Perch fishing in the reed beds as well. May and June, the Northern
Pike are hungry but there are no weed beds to concentrate their
population. During the summer we have a lot of fun with surface
and shallow water baits. Fly fishing for Northern Pike over the
weed beds with with long streamers or bunny bugs is a blast.
In the spring and fall trolling with the deeper running large
plugs tends to be a better fishing technique for Northern Pike.
Our 18' wooden fishing boats are hand built
for us out of cedar and oak. They are spacious, stable, comfortable
and quiet. Each fishing boat is fully equipped with an environmentally
friendly 9.9 hp Evinrude 4-stroke outboard motor, Humminbird
fish finder, 2 swivel cushion boat seats on pedestals, anchor,
paddles, emergency kit and life jackets. A Minnkota electric
trolling motor makes fishing easier and more effective. Trolling
motors for fishing are included with our American
Plan fishing vacation packages and is an extra with our Housekeeping fishing
vacation packages or Housekeeping
with Dinners fishing vacation packages.
Although catch and release fishing is not
mandatory, we strongly promote conservation of fishing quality.
We especially like to have the larger Walleye and Northern Pike
released as these are almost entirely our healthiest and best
spawning female fish.  We
have a catch and release fishing program where we reward the
efforts of our guests in maintaining the high quality Walleye
fishing and Northern Pike fishing on Lake Wabatongushi.
At our remote Canadian fishing resort we
offer very comfortable accommodations and really great meals.
