"FISH ARE THE ATTRACTION!"
  Ogascanan is a naturally reproducing sport fishery. Although Walleye are the dominant fish in the lake, Northern Pike and Lake Trout are also abundant. We have fishermen that specifically target each of the 3 species, all of whom return annually. Ogascanan provides the opportunity for you to catch lots of fish as well as trophy fish of all species. And of course, we'll help you find the "fishin' holes." Quebec fishing at its finest!

WALLEYE in excellent numbers and sizes!
   We have yellows and blues! Fishermen are surprised to learn that a blue Walleye is as common as a yellow in Ogascanan. Most of the Walleye you will catch will be in the 14-24 inch range. You will find the 15-20 inchers to be the best eating size - as they get bigger they taste stronger. When you get into a school of these Walleye at feeding time, you can expect a lot of action in short order! Although similar sizes school together, a good chance for a trophy exists at any time. We have caught them up to 32 inches long and 12 pounds, mostly in 4 to 25 feet of water. The Mullens family uses ultra-lights with 6 pound test, a chartreuse jig with a crawler, and we catch fish! We anchor, drift and troll this rig.
Keep it simple - it works! Quebec fishing at its finest!

NORTHERN PIKE
 

We are pleased to say “Ogascanan fishermen release most Pike!”
Click here and see!
   Many of our Ogascanan fishermen have experienced the excitement of having one of these fierce fighters attack Walleye being reeled to the boat.  Other anglers have witnessed savage attacks as these “water wolves” rip violently at Walleye on their stringers.  In fact, many Ogascanan Walleye bear prominent scars - - a testament to the aggressive nature of these fresh-water jaws.  Although trophies in the 40 inch plus range are a good possibility, expect most of your Pike action to be in the 24-32 inch range – our biggest, 48.5 inches and 30 pounds.   You’ll be fishing depths ranging from the surface to 20 feet.
   The Mullens family catches more Northern Pike on jigs with worms than with any other rig, although a variety of spoons can be used.  When targeting Northern, we encourage you to rig with medium action rods and steel leaders.  Remember – a quick battle with minimal handing is necessary for a successful live release. Most of our fisherman prefer walleye for eating.
However, if you wish to keep Pike, we recommend the 24-28 inch range - they are the best eating size.

LAKE TROUT
   Serious Trout fishermen have long recognized Ogascanan as a top producer. Most of your Trout will be in the 24-30 inch range (4-10 pounds), however, we see Trout in the 20 pound range every year. Our biggest was a 42 inch 35 pounder! You'll find the 16-24 inchers to be the best eating size.
  Lake Trout are a cold water fish preferring temperatures between 44 and 52 degrees F. In the spring they can be caught by casting or trolling spoons on the surface in Walleye and Pike waters. As the water warms, they go deeper, which is more conducive to trolling steel line, lead core or down-rigging techniques. 
In the last few years many of our Walleye fishermen have become hooked on Trout. They've caught nice Trout by drifting deep water and vertically jigging crawlers. Everyone knows the reputation that pike have as being fierce fighters - pound for pound Trout give you a better battle. "Catch one and you're hooked!" Quebec fishing at its finest!
