Eastern Ontario Whities?

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Eastern Ontario Whities?

Post by dmcfisher »

I enjoy fishing for whities on Simcoe and am wondering if anyone’s got a lead on a lake with good whities in the 613?
Fished them in BR before with no luck. Feel free to PM me. Thanks!

A good piece away but still in the 613 the best place I know of is Bark Lake, back in the 80's that's where I first learned how to use actual true tip-ups with spreaders and salted minnows for Whities. We rented shacks at Sunny Hill Resort and chummed with corn to bring them around. Also caught Lakers and the odd Sucker on the same lines.

I recommend Baskatong Reservoir. Located in Quebec, approximately 200 km north of Ottawa, this reservoir hosts species such as walleye, northern pike, lake trout, and whitefish.

Any lake with Lake Trout unusually has Whitefish. We do well on Bobs and Crow.

Whitefish (whities) can definitely be a bit elusive in the 613, especially compared to Simcoe’s hot bite. While Lake Simcoe is one of Ontario’s whitefish hotspots, there are a few places around Eastern Ontario where they’re known to turn up though with less consistency.

I caught my first Whitie on Lake Clear in Renfew County this past ice season, and she was a good size too, about 24 inches. I've talked to some guides on that lake and they say if you know what to do you can get on a decent bite. Definitely a learning curve since it's a bigger lake compared to most in the area.
