Metionga Lake just keeps on getting better. It is hard to improve on a great thing but it seems that fall walleye fishing rivals the fall northern fishing on Metionga Lake.
Big fish breed big fish and our policy of no trophies kept insures the big ones go back into the lake to enhance the gene pool.
Jack B sent us this picture of a 30 inch walleye he returned to the lake earlier this month.
Dave O has made regular fall trips to Metionga Lake for many years. This year was in his own words the best ever. Big northerns and chunky walleyes were the order of the day.
Several big pike were landed and released. It makes for a great trip when your arms get tired lifting these monsters.
I guess the photographer was too busy to fish himself.
Getting together with friends at on Outpost Camp is a great way to spend a vacation. We see more guys bringing their better halves. It is not uncommon to see the guy’s trip early in the season and then the couple’s trip later in the season. I think it is a ploy to not only ensure next year’s guy’s trip but also gives the “master guides” a chance to scout things out.
Check out the boat in the back of the photo. Catching and releasing a walleye is just part of a day on the lake. Capturing your partners in the background bringing one in at the same time is bonus.
August fishing is still fast and furious at Ignace Outposts.
The last week of August was beautiful weather-wise. Fishing was great too. On Seseganaga Lake it was just like mid summer.
Besides packing the fishing gear, a little sunscreen was needed.
