Temagami Area Walleye Fishing

Walleye Fishing (Serious about walleye fishing? WE ARE.)

Walleye is found in 5 of the 6 lakes we fish.

Herridge Lake - Average size is 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 lb. We suggest fishing this lake during the evening. You will be fishing remote lakes during the day.

Iceland and Driftwood Lakes - Average size is 11/2 to 2 lb. Tasty for shore lunches. Walleye to 7 lb are caught in Iceland lake and to 12 lb are caught in Driftwood lake. As these are remote lakes, they are fished during daylight hours.

 Wasaksina Lake - Average size is 2 to 21/2 lb. This remote lake is fished during the daytime. 10 to 12 lb. walleye are caught regularly on this lake. We encourage catch & release of large walleyes so please just take a picture. Wasaksina lake is up to 120 ft deep with large shoal areas of 10 to 20 ft depths ideal for walleye.

Catch & Release Lake - Average size is 2 to 21/2 lb. Walleye averaging 4 to 6 lb. are common on this lake.

Suggested Tackle for Walleye

• Medium action rods with 6 to 8 lb test line Trilene XL or XT (GREEN) works well in our TEA STAINED water. We do NOT use leaders when fishing for walleye.

• LURES - Gogetters or lindy rigs or worm harnesses ( all similar ) with spinner blade colors of chartreuse, hammered gold or silver, perch striped, orange or red.

  

• Techniques used for this tackle is SLOW trolling, back trolling, drifting and anchoring once you find the fish. ALWAYS WORK THE BOTTOM. Does the boat appear to be moving? You may be going too fast.

• Casting along shorelines in early spring with rapalas or husky jerks can bring good results as the walleye are shallow in 10’ or less of water. Sometimes in 2 to 4 ft of water.

• Jigs with twister tails ( chartreuse, white or yellow ) work well during the summer on shoals or dropoffs. These can be tipped with minnows or night crawlers. SLOW approach. Again working the BOTTOM.

• Shore lunches are prepared by your guide on an island in Wasaksina Lake. Shore lunches include morning caught walleye, beans of course, french fries, onions, bread & butter and homemade cookies. When fishing without a guide, you are welcome to use the island to prepare your own fresh walleye lunch. Our only request is to leave the island as you found it, clean, we hope.

• Please listen to our Guides for fishing tips as they know WHERE and HOW to fish our lakes.
