Default Whitefish

Before commercial fishing was closed province wide several years ago, I used to net about 20 lakes in the north-east part of the province. We always caught whites 8 lb. and a few even bigger at Amisk by Boyle. Since it has not been netted for about 20 years I would not be surprised by 10-12 lb.whites. It is a very deep lake so we added extra floats and floated the net on the surface even in 60-120 ft of water. Only time we went shallow was around end of October. I helped shut this lake down for 4 inch mesh which was supposed to be used for tulibee, but was actually a bootleg market for walleye.
I do not fish any more, but if I liked catching big whites, Amisk is where I would
try. The whites there were very fat, so must have a lot of food and may be
hard to convince to bite. Hope this helps
