I am going to the magpie river north of wawa the first week of june.Ihave never fished this river and would like any info on fishing there.If you have any info it would help.We will be approximately 45 minutes north of wawa.Some friends have a cottage there and they keep telling me everything is a secret.Would really like to outfish them.I fish the Detroit and St. Clair rivers and wonder if the same technics would work well there.

I have fished Magpie many times, It is a fun place to fish.

Never caught anything big. Biggest walleye 3 lbs Biggest
Pike 7 lbs. But you can catch all you want. Record for us
is 8 casts 8 fish in a row. 100 Fish days are not uncommon. I Use jig and minnows, fish all the log jams, many many of them. Trolling we pulled Shad Raps DID WELL,
TROLLING POINTS.



good luck

never been that early in the year but later on all the guys were doing well on diving baits. Shad raps, thunderstick jr's, rat l traps, reef runners etc. Never have seen or heard of any large fish there but there are tons of small-mid size fish. We marked larger fish but that could have been clusters of bait fish etc.

whatever you use you will want barbless hooks - the action is fast.

haven't fished it the last couple of years but reports I hear is that the pike fishing is constant. One right after another but no size to any of them (this was 7/2000). Lures used were spoons and jigs fishing all points and log jams. Was alot of fun when we were there.
