We're back from Nemio River on the Gouin Reservoir (we were there last week - took me a few days to get to this report).. and we had a blast. Some fish, some weather (nice and some not so nice). Good friends and fun.

The first couple days we had to work hard for our fish. We caught fish everyday but they were scattered. We mixed it up trying all sorts of stuff. We fished jigs, trolled... we even had a few fish trolling the largest rapalas in the box but the technique that worked best was jigs and leeches. We caught fish without leeches but when tipped with a leech, they hit better. I'm thinking the bite was soft so the leech just made it easier for us to notice. I think worms would do it as well.

We caught a whack of fish and couldn't resist the wall of fame shot.

Some filets that came home with us.

Had a couple of shore lunches which were fantastic. If you are going, bring a shore lunch kit, frying pan, onions, potatoes, paper plates, napkin, oil, fishcrisp and you will really enjoy it. Oh, don't forget forks but if you do (ahem) you can make chopsticks with pieces of wood

Me, in my new nemio hat (sorry fish-hawk hat, you'll get another turn some other time)

For those of you going this week, I think the classic patterns could be set up. We caught some off points on islands on the main lake - very text book fishing. We also caught fish on necked down areas where fish pass through. If the wind blows, lazy me likes to let it push you down a wall and pick up fish as you drag your jig along.

Again, like last year, Ron and Rosie from Nemio were great hosts.

Thanks for the post/report jsdx. I am heading there tomorrow morning, so timing couldn't be better. We're brining a LOT of worms so we'll see how they go. We're also into pike fishing, so hopefully we can get into some of those.
I think we're fishing a part of the reservoir that is pretty far from where you were, so maybe (hopefully) the bite will be on a little better there this weekend.

Sounds like another good time there, Jon. Hopefully "Electric Bill" didn't strike again.

Ok, enough picking on me already. Looks like you had another great trip jsdx - ain't that spot something.

The camp is in really good shape and we had electricity the *whole time*. The trip was great. Of course, "Electric Bill" was no where to be seen... I think they make him wear rubber pants or something when he visits so not to short anything out

Yeah, its a sweet spot for sure.

Nah, they just took away my screwdriver and for the rubber pants - What's wrong with DEPENDS - remember I'm an Ol Phart.

Those pics make me want to have a nice little walleye feast sometime soon. Great Report!

Nice catch, bet they tasted good
Looks like a great time up there.

Good post!!

Great Report....I have to get up there some time.
