Best Walleye Fishing in Canada for "Big Ones"

[DustyBudd]

I am from Manitoba, Canada. I am doing some research and I am trying to find some fly-in lakes and lodges that have the greatest walleye fishing in North America. I am not taking about numbers, but big walleyes over 28 inches. If there is anyone out there that can help with names of lake or lodges and more importantly some actual figures, please pass the information alone to me. Thank you, Dusty Budd

Four words Tobin lake Nipawan sask PERIOD

The Bay of Quinte (eastern Lake Ontario) in Southern Ontario is widely regarded as the best trophy walleye fishery in the world.

Dust -

Some conventional wisdom preaches that as you go farther north, i.e., some of the "fly-in's", the walleye average smaller due to cooler water and a shorter "growing" season. It may be that the numbers caught can be quite large while the size may not equal fish found in water farther south. Having not done a study, I don't know, so I can't debate the issue. The point being, that perhaps larger average fish are to be found south of many of the very good fly-in camps.

I would second God's Lake. I have gone to God's lake 6 times now and have always caught walleyes in excess of 30". I have been to Elk Island lodge and God's River Lodge. God's River lodge is the best location with good equipment, meals and guides. We always go the tail end of May/begining of June and from God's river lodge, we head either to Little God's or the "graveyard" and nail big walleyes. Most of the time, husky jerks in firetiger or clown work great but my son caught 4 walleyes in one afternoon with each in excess of 10 pounds casting Lucky craft pointer lures. Jigs and twisters also work. The other thing cool about God's river lodge is you are right on the river and the brookies are big - in excess of 20". They are also allowed to go to Siemons lake and in one morning, we had 17 northerns in excess of 44". We are already booked for next spring.

17 pike over 44 in a morning. Ya ok, must be the best pike fishery in the world.
