I am heading out to Waubamun next weekend but I haven't fished it all summer. Is it best for pike near the pier in town still or should I be going elsewhere first? How are they biting?
Thanks!
Wab is a bit slower but still steady. I like the grassy area just west of the plant on the north side and the point (Fallis) a bit further down on the North North/West side.
Was out there last Wednesday. I have only fished this lake twice, went for about two hours. Between two of us we caught 7 pike. One small guy, then 6 pounds, two just over 9 pounds, two 12 pounds, and one 16 pound 11 ounces. They were hitting fairly steady. Not sure how good that is for this lake, but the 16 pound 11 ounce was my largest fish ever. So needless to say I was happy and hope to get back out again soon.

That's pretty steady and the size of what you caught is not uncommon for Wab. There will be 30% or more fish that you catch that will be be "nice" ones. I have fished few other (pike) lakes where this happens. Most (other) lakes are full of hammer handles and the "occasional" bigger one. The fish are simply just much bigger in Wabamun.
When it's hot - you will catch a 5-10 pike every hour all day long. I am not kidding.
Waub was very, very slow last weekend. I think the fish are going into winter mode. We only caught two and had a total of four "bites". Even the ones we caught were probably snagged by the lip - they definitely weren't aggressive and we just felt slight taps. This seemed very unusual for this lake and for pike.
How is Waub fishing?
