Trip Report

Just got back from our 2nd annual fishing trip, 9hrs north of Ottawa. While the fishing wasn't as good as last year, we did manage to catch all three species of trout that we were hunting for in these remote lakes. The best thing about these lakes is that the trout are all natural producing. Non of these lakes are stocked. The weather was great with the exception of a couple of hot windless days. Here's some pics to share:

This was our camp for 9 days



This was the avearage size of Lake Trout



The ATV trips into these lakes were awesome. Rough terrain and a few rivers to cross





Pit stop with the boys on the way back to camp after a good day on the lake



One of the lads having fun with his new bike



The main lake where the camp was had these dark brown lakers with white meat. They tasted more like walleye then trout.



The speckies were hard to tie into this year but we did manage to catch a few footballs with the biggest weighing 4lbs. Real fatties!!



Early morning fog



My buddy with a couple of rainbows



The color of the meat on these rainbows were amazing and taste was even better!!



For the last day we decided to try and get into a lake that is a Fly-In only....my buddy who lives in the area knew how to get in by ATV. This was a 140km round trip by bike. It was truely amazing and the fish hit hard!! We managed to hook into 3 rainbows and 5 lakers within 3hrs between 2:00 and 5:00 in the afternoon.

My biggest rainbow of the week caught at this lake x



Another rainbow



A plane coming in to drop some guys off to fish..

Thanks for sharing your great adventure. At what depth were you catching rainbows on Lake X? One picture looks like you were using portable downriggers. Thanks in advance

2 rainbows were caught flat lining and the other along with the lakers were caught on riggers set to 34' in 38' of water...these lakes are cold, crystal clear spring fed inland lakes which are grooved into the foothills of the Laurentian Mountain chain. it's lile being in Heaven.

Our plan next year is to fly-in for 7 days to this last lake we went to instead of using the ATV's. The bike rides were interesting and fun, but took 5hrs of hard driving and we would rather use that time to fish....
