Fishing
Fishing is one of the main activities offered at this
outfitter and the time where you can fish begins in the month of May and ends at the end of fall. The superb lake on which the
outfitter is located, lake Kipawa, overflows with Lake Trout, Walleyes and Northern Pikes. On occasion it is possible to capture
Lake Whitefish as well as perch but these two species are in smaller quantities.
The boats that are at the disposal of fishermen and woman
are 16 feet in length and are made out of fibreglass. They are equipped with young 15 horsepower Yamaha motors and are four strokes
which significantly reduces pollution and sound. All the boats are equipped with all the material necessary to keep the occupants
safe.
Suggested fishing methods :
- Lake Trout :
- Ideal fishing technique for capturing this specie: Troll fishing (using either a downrigger or a weighted fishing line)
- Suggested lures :
- Silver coloured Rapala or a Williams type large undulating spoon
- A sonar is not necessary but it presents an additional advantage
- Location of the specie: In the beginning and the end of the fishing season, this type of fish is caught near the
surface. During summer however, it is caught much deeper where the water is colder.
- Walleye :
- Ideal fishing technique for capturing this specie: Jigging or trolling
- Suggested lures :
- Light ( 1/8 to 1/4 ounce) chartreuse colored jig with a big worm or leech on the end
- "Wally divers", "Rattling rapalas" and rotating spoons (silver or golden) are recommended for trolling
- A sonar is not necessary but it presents an additional advantage
- Location of the specie : Fleeing light and warm water, this type of fish can be caught near the surface early in
the morning or late in the evening and is found deep in the water during the day. This fish is less active during the
day.
- Northern Pike :
- Ideal fishing technique for capturing this specie: Trolling
- Suggested lures :
- Varied undulating spoons (i.e. the "Daredevil"). Ideally, the spoon should be red and white
- Rapala type surface swimming fish
- Very loud surface lure (i.e. the "Popper" style)
- Location of the specie: Being a great predator, the northern pike swims in shallow water and generally uses the
underwater vegetation or anything that can camouflage it to hide.
Evisceration Room
Located in a common room, fishermen and woman can use an
evisceration counter with a recipient to dispose or their fish. Each chalet being equipped with both a fridge and a freezer,
keeping the cathces is made much more simple.
