Greetings Everyone:

I am planning a late spring/early summer trip to Baskatong next year. I have done a bit of research on this reservoir and have decided to stay at http://www.pointedavid.ca/e_homepage.html I was hoping to target walleye and to a lesser degree the trout. If anyone has any experience or tips I would appreciate it. One of my biggest concerns is color selection/size for walleye jigs. 3in or 4in? Do I just go with the standard white, yellow, chartreuse, orange, bubblegum etc.(bright colors) or should I consider subdued colors on this body of water. I just assume the water is tea colored and bright colors would be the choice. I haven't done a walleye trip in a while and what jig bodies I have left are "old school", no salt or scent. I would like to get a few packs of the "next generation" plastics but with the extra cost of premium baits I'd like to narrow down color selection so I do not break the bank, so to speak.

Thanks,
DropShot'r

Hi there, i have spent a week on the Baskatong at the begining of August. We stayed at Le Pavillon de L'Orignal. We had a great time. The Beaches there are great. The Kids really enjoyed them.

As for the fishing, it was a bit slow. We were targeting them in around 30ft of water(vertical jigging). We used white jig head with a worm. We got lots of eyes but they were really small. You will get lots of them around 10 to 15 inches.

If you need additional info, you can send me a private message.

Later.

Some people fish the deep part of the reservoir similarly to how people troll at Bay of Quinte by going after the suspended walleyes.

Hi Drop shot'r

I have stayed at Pointe David. It is very crowded at the site. It was not at all what I expected... was a real chip stand. To make matters worse the fishing is also very tough at the Baskatong.

You might want to consider something else.
