Fishing
Fishing is one of the main activities we offer. The season begins in May and ends in the fall. Lake Kipawa is a superb lake; it overflows with Lake Trout, Walleye and North Pike. On occasion it is possible to catch Lake Whitefish as well as Perch, but these two species are in smaller quantity.
The boats which are at the disposal of the fishermen (and women) are 16 feet in length and are equipped with a newer 4 stroke, 15 horsepower motor. All boats are equipped with necessary safety equipment.
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.
