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.
August fishing can be great. Phil brings the guys up every June and this year decided to try a little later in the season. Getting 12 professionals lined up with schedules and flights from across the country is a logistic challenge. Phil manages every year to get the guys together for a week at Ses.
August fishing is just fine at Seseganaga Lake.
“Hello Brad & Karen -
Just a quick note to say thanks again as we had a great time on Irene and caught some nice fish.
The attached photos has our newest fisherman Jim with the biggest fish, a 38" northern.
Also Ray has a nice smallmouth and the lake trout caught on the eve of our last day.
Best wishes,
Terry”
Irene Lake can sometimes be a challenge in the summer months with the clear water and seeming lack of structure. Some guys however keep going back year after year and and are rewarded for their knowledge of the lake.
This group drives up from Oklahoma to experience Ontario’s finest. The long drive builds anticipation and the action on the lake turns the anticipation in reality and then great memories. The drive back is spent planning the next adventure.
Canada, NW Ontario, Ignace, Seseganaga Lake, July, walleye, perfect day, on vacation… wish I was there.
