Dayosaraha Lake, off Hornepayne Hwy, Northern Ontario. Fly in only or sled in the winter. No live bait.

Default Question?

Drive to , just big lakers or big numbers .?

Whelen I'm pretty sure I fished LOW out .lol

I'm pretty sure our Cold Lake is as good as most drive to s .
And way easier to get to . Chance of a big one 20 plus ,I'd
Say Atthapap , bakers narrows . Reid at the Pas has some
Jumbos . I'm thinking I'd like to go to La Martre .

Back in the day 1960s was one of the first people to
Get into the north end of Nejanilini ,northern mb.
Spoiled me for life on lakers .

Clearwater lake Manitoba. Look at the list of Master angler lakers taken each year for Manitoba lakes and Clearwater appears to consistently have the most.

Daniels lake up the Gordon lake road east of Kenora Ontario. And the men more in that area. I could go all winter fishing Lakers their and be on a different everyday and catch them.

Drive to lake, no questions would be east arm of Great Slave Lake. Without a doubt great bear would be #1 overall

Lake Ontario, there basicly a nuisance bycatch and you could catch em till your arms fell off if you target them.
