Hey Nick,
My son & Grand Son 16 and I drove to Mary Lake, Marylakeoutfitters.com 5 hours north of Ottawa for a week of fishing from 8-8 to 8-15 but broke it off early due to rain. 787 miles from Bowie and 15 hours driving time not including stops. Three hours on logging gravel roads. Pike and Walleye were what we sought.
You were allowed 6 walleye per person but never got more the 3 per person fishing about 3 hours each am & pm. Jeff my son got 10 pike one day but no trophies. Caught both Yellow & Blue Walleye.
We have never fished for walleye before, I made up several spinner rigs with 2 hooks and had fair luck with them with night-crawlers. Never did catch one on a jig & minnow (gulp) combo.
Best bait was 1/8 and ¼ oz jigs and night-crawler in a ball, just crawling on the bottom.
I think the next trip up that way will be to the 10,000 Lakes area at the New York boarder.
