go out from the washroom building and find the drop off. the ice out there should look like swiss cheese. not to hard to find. try 8 to 22 fow, moving up on top in the low light hours and deeper during the day. the whites should be in the shallow water there now as well.

Anyone know the regulation there? What can you keep?

The regs are at the top of the page.....

I fished Pigeon off of the provincial park a month ago. There were about 5 groups out there that day. One of the guys from one of the groups caught a small walleye and another guy from one of the groups caught 2 walleye and saw alot more on his flasher. He said that the hole where he caught the two walleye was also the only hole out of the other three nearby holes he drilled where he saw the walleye on the flasher.

In my case, I got skunked.:sign0080:

Are the whites easy to find there?

Lots of whites in Pigeon. But it may take you a few trips to find them.
Once you find them you will have great luck.

thunder i'm not sure which i'm more confused about......

answering your question on where to find walleye at the pp to have you ask "anyone know the regulations there? what can you keep?"

or seeing your thread looking for a butcher to clean your fish. seriously? wow. someone up there take this guy out for a lesson or two.

Last time I was there, I tried off of the provincial park for whites and saw none. I was even trying everything from yellow, copper and red wire worms and small white and yellow soft plastic jigs. Do you know if Mullhurst is a better spot to fish for them? I was also wondering if Gull lake is a better place to try to fish for whites.

Try bouncing mudbugs or something to imitate a backswimmer on a sandy bottom in about 9fow.Somedays its just a matter of different presentation and/or different hooks to use.

Thanks for the whitefish tips buckmaster. I have some fake backswimmers in my tackle box that work great for trout. I will definitely look into using those backswimmers for whitefish fishing as well.:)

that bay does have some whites. but dont bother lots of small pike, walleye and a few burbot. there are other places to find them. I only use it as a staging area to drop the sleds and quad. there is tons of fishermen out there but I think its more of an easy access thing. i learned my lesson twice by fishing there. dont bother, lots of better spots.
