Rappoo,
I fished Baie Mattawa many times but mostly in Sept. I have fished there in June also and fishing was usually good. I experienced poor fish also but mostly fishing was very good. The weather can make or break a week of fishing…but we can’t control that. I never used Air Tamarac but have seen their cabins/boats and agree that this is a very good outfitter. Remember that Mattawa can be fished (and it is) by folks driving into the Baie Poisson west of Mattawa. That’s what my group always did…it’s not that far away. Air Tamarac also has cabins on Baie Sarrana which I prefer over Mattawa as I never had a bad experience on Sarrana. Sarrana can be reach from Baie Poisson but is a much further travel. One thing I will say is you could never fish that entire area…it’s hugh. Good luck. Last edited by Freytown; 03-02-2012 at 01:01 PM. |

The local indians are aloud to net all the fish they want, that puts alot of pressure on that lake along with all the differant outfitters. The times that I fished the gouin,The fish in the school you were in stayed about the same size. So we had to move around to find bigger fish

Nothing of note as far as mayflies. July tends to be a lot less "buggy" in general in that area. As far as water level... 3 years ago (2009) We had good fishing with high water levels at Gouin. 2 years ago (2010) We had okay fishing, which improved to good fishing (as we figured out the pattern) with really low water levels at Gouin. Last year (2011) with above avg. water levels, not so good, as I reported. As far as trying deep water and/or fishing "flowing" water (between islands)... We tried some of it, but, maybe should have given it more effort when our normal patterns failed. We did fish that feeder stream at the south end of Mattawa. And had some quick action with some nice eyes (and a couple of pike). But, the action would die after about 15 minutes. Maybe in colder water it would have been better because most of that area is 8 ft or less deep. There are a ton of snags and the area probably experiences a lot of fishing pressure also. Thanks all for your thoughts. |

It is very difficult to pattern the gouin from one yr to the next. I have alot of fishing time on bay du nord in the gouin, but its the same way. Once you find them you should do well. I know lac Hebert very well sometimes we fish the usual haunts 20'-8' with no luck and then have caught them on jigs in 42' of water,and later that day catch them in the bays in 8'. If we don't catch anything in 5 mins it time to move. we have also fished a bay that the wind has blown into all day, at just before sunset on stick baits and could not keep a lure in the water.catching over 150 after 6:30 in the evening ,then talking to other that night that did not catch 25% of that many fish. The Gouin or Hebert if you are in the right place at the right time you will be amazed. Good luck we will be on Hebert the first week in july, get the beer batter ready

Mattawa with Air Tam
We are going into Mattawa cabin 46 June 9th through the 17th I was hoping to get any insight on the area. This will be our first time on the Gouin, we fish Rainy Lake and have good luck there. Consistent Pike in the 40" range and great golden eyes. Hope that Mattawa will give us same results.

Air Tam
You are going at a good time the water should still be on the cold side the pike should be shallow,the walleyes 20'-8' jiging. I can tell you that you may hook a pike in there that you may not want in the boat (AKA Monsters).I am sure Jean Owner of AT can show you a map and mark you some spots.Wind blowing out of the east is least,not the best time to fish, South, south west, west, north west , north winds are what you want to fish, just before a thunder storm is a great time. I would suggest , don't leave fish to find fish. At that time you may find fish near the inflow of a stream or brook, like were the walleye spawn. You guys are fishermen you will have a great time If you like PM me and I will give you a few pointers

gouin
Rappoo, My group has fished the gouin 15yrs, hanotaux, mattawa, Du male, Saraana, that time of yr. temp seems to be the thing . We look for back bays that are warming up first 3 to 15 ft of water if we find fall fish (that chub looking fish that has EAT ME written on him) theres walleyes and pike nearby. Like octane says if the wind is beating a shore line all the better, it can be a boat handleing nightmare but worth it. We pull worm harnesses and rapalas worms catch more rapalas catch bigger. Dont waste time fishing fish that wont bite, come back later if the wind starts beating that spot they will bite. Were going the same week, enjoy every moment its heaven on earth .

maybe its time
I know that Air Tam are great outfitters, I go with them every yr.The gouin is a good fishery with many outfitters on it and do not forget the indians that can take as many fish ,by what ever methode they choose. very heavy pressure on that body of water. I think it would be in your best interest to spend the extra $200 and fly into Hebert with them. I have fished both of them many times and for my $ I'm going to Hebert. Just my two cents Have a great trip this yr where ever you are going.
