Canada Fishing Trip Suggestions

[LindyRigger]

If you are wanting to catch fish, there is no place like Lake Erie. It produces trophy smallies and eyes on a regular basis...sorry no pike though. I realize the beauty and peacefulness is not the same as a "great north" lake, but the fishing is incredible.

Dear Rivereye:

How are you fine i hope. When is the best time of the year to come up there to fish?

I'm doing pretty good, thankyou for asking.
Generally, the fishing is really good most of the time. Are you wondering about any spots/lakes in particular? The only time I'd try to avoid, is the month of July. There is usually a little gap in there where the sun is really hot, there is no wind and the walleye's don't want to bite.

I mainly fish the Winnipeg river, and if I was planning a fishing trip, I'd set it for the end of may, or beginning of June. Great walleye action, plus great smallmouth action. The walleye fishing gets really good again in August, and the weather is nicer, but the smallmouths are scattered and hard to find.

If you are really interested in a great place for trophy walleye, pike, and Smallmouth fishing you need to check out Tetu Island Lodge. I believe that they have a web site. I was on a fishing trip there last july when In-fisherman was there. They have so many walleyes that in one day between two boats they boated 97 walleyes over 22" and 19 walleyes over 26". I couldn't believe the great fishing. They had an article about the walleye fishing in the December issue of In-fisherman, Angling Adventures for 2000, I believe. They also caught Trophy Northern Pike and Trophy Smallies to go along with the hot Walleye action. Tetu is the Ultimate fishing vacation. They fish out of custom built 1750 crestliner fishhawks with 50hp. Yamaha four strokes. The cabins and service are unbelivable. The food is all U.S. Prime beef (New York Strip, Steak Oscar, Prime Rib, and BBQ Ribs) At this place you can fish from 7:00 am. to 8:00 pm. if you want. It's not like other places where it is 8:30 am. to 4:00 pm. I give Tetu Lodge Five Stars, this is Truly the Ultimate Fishing Vacation.

I have been to Tetu Lodge three times in the past two years. I have had great fishing for all species, Walleyes and Bass in June, Northerns and Walleyes in September. The people at Tetu have the best service and food in the business. Great customer service and the meals are all USDA Prime Beef. The guides are just about the best in the business. I just recieved my confirmation letter for my two trips this year and it looks like every single guide is coming back and also half of their girls. I can't wait to fish out of their new Crestliner fish hawks.

I couldn't agree more with the suggestion of Tetu island lodge. I have stayed there numerous times during the past few years and plan to stay there as much as my schedule allows from now on! I have never seen a lodge before that has so much to offer.

Start with the fishing...one word... AWESOME! Huge walleyes and monster pike would definately be their specialty, but smallmouth have their days. As far as staff,equipment,and facilities go they are second to none! New boats and motors (with casting decks)and guides who are not only clean english speaking pros, but also know what they are doing at all times.

Every guide there has his own lowrance or pinpoint graph and actually knows how to use them, no stupid fish id going off all day with some clown who drank too much the night before dozing off and mumbling some incoherent jibberish all day. For those of you who have had a guide like this before you know where I'm coming from. I think the other guys described the quality of the food pretty well, but no one talked about the quantity. My god talk about beefs worse enemy, I've met the demon and his name is ED. This man believes in the power of meat and proves it by serving steaks just slightly larger than a bread box, and don't worry he hasn't forgot the "other white meat" for breakfast he likes to kick you off with a small family of chickens and a slab of bacon so big that if you can't finish it you simply put a leash on it and walk it down to the dock with you! (Don't even get me started on the shorelunches!!!)

I strongly suggest you give them a call and ask to speak to the person in charge, but if Kathi is busy Ed can probably help you to.
