"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! |
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

| 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. RELEASING BIG

| PORTAGE TO INLAND CONSERVATION
LAKES FOR PIKE! |
 |
When you portage, fishing becomes
more than fishing…it becomes an adventure! We have never allowed fish to be taken
from these waters! |
 |
|
| We’ll give you directions to the
portage location. Follow a rudimentary bush trail for 10-15 minutes and discover a
pristine inland lake. The canoe is already there. Paddle around these mile-long lakes and
enjoy pike fishing fast and furious. Expect most of your action to be in the 24-30 inch
range, but don’t rule out a trophy….like the two above! Caught,
photographed and released. We recommend medium action rods, 8-10 pound test,
steel leaders, ¾ ounce spoons and of course single barbless hooks are a must. These lakes
are terrific hideouts where both young and old can experience the joys of sport fishing.
As you glide peacefully around these lakes you’ll have a good chance of getting close
to some Canadian wildlife; perhaps a moose or a mama bear and her cubs…have a camera
ready! Quebec fishing at its finest! |

| 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. |
