All of our camps have fantastic Walleye fishing and the fertile waters produce non-stop action with some anglers reporting 50 to 100 fish per day. The lakes north of Nakina & Armstrong have a well known reputation for being the top fishing lakes in Ontario so the high numbers is no surprise.
Percy Lake has the Little Current River and the Kapikotongwa River flowing into it. These rivers supply fresh clean water, much needed elements such as Calcium and Iron for bone growth and nutrient foods such as minnows and insects. The rivers are also perfect spawning grounds. This allows the population of Walleyes in the lake to stay very dense allowing anglers to have non-stop action.
Walleyes in the lake are most common in the 1-3 pound range but much bigger Walleyes get caught. The big females over 25" usually go deep during the day but come to the shoreline in the evening to hunt for food. Walleyes in the 25" to 27" range get caught constantly but much bigger ones are available.
Redsand Lake primarily has only been used by Moose hunters. Hunters commonly report that the Walleye fishing is extraordinary. This lake has had next to no fishing pressure and now we are opening this camp up to anglers. You can expect the same sizes and numbers as Percy Lake.
Regulations - Zones 2 & 6:
Open third Saturday in May to December 31. You can have 4 in your possession with a sports license and two with conservation license. Only one can be greater than 46 cm (18.1 inches)
Please Note: possession means in your boat or in your freezer. You can't keep your limit in your fridge or freezer and then go out and catch more.
Best Baits & Lures:
Primarily all you need are 1/4 oz jigs with white twistertails. Putting a tiny piece of worm on the jig will double or even triple your action.
If you want to get the big Walleyes you need to fish deeper during the day so you can add a spinner to your jig with the same white twistertail. You can also fish deeper by trolling with white Cotton Cordell Big O' lures. In the evening the big females come out of the deeper water and hunt for food right close to shore in 2' or 3' of water. The best place is to find a shallow sandy area with Wild Rice and troll right along the rice beds with shallow running lures such as J9 or J11 Jointed Rapalas. Thundersticks are also affective for trolling shallow. White, blue & silver and black & silver are the best color combinations for evening.
Colors: In tea colored water white is the best color during the summer. In the spring the males are still in spawning mode and attack lures out of defending their spawning areas; not to feed. Bright colors like fire-tiger, chartreuse and red seem to work best.
