Lake Ogascanan Trip Report June 15-20

[SnodT2120]

As promised, I would provide a trip report from our second trip to lake Ogascanan. We went a week later than last year. Overall, 6 guys went and we are guys who like to fish for big fish and not quanity. We had enough walleye for a couple fish meals and enough to bring a few each home. All in all, we caught some quality fish. 9 walleye 22 1/2 inches or longer. 3 - 22.5", 1 - 23", 1 - 24", 2 - 24.5", 1 - 26", and 1 - 27" walleyes. Had several eaters and a few under the 14.5" slot limit. In all we were 1 fish shy of 100 eyes, for a total of 99.

Pike wise, we caught better pike than the previous year. We are not pike fisherman but enjoy it sometimes. 1 heavy 27" pike (which was caught when it went after a walleye that was actually caught. The pike didn't let go), 2 - 30" pike, and a big 42" pike. The big pike was caught after my spinning rod tip broke and I was forced to use a backup graphite light pole. Took 10 minutes to get the pike in the boat. Was only using a jig head, single hook, twister tail grub.

Like before, we had a great week of fishing. In total we caught 99 walleye, 33 pike, and 1 lake trout, for a total of 133 fish. Not good number wise, but good quality. Giving huge kudos to the lake Ogascanan outfitters. The Mullens family is running a tight ship there and are friendly, helpful, and just great people. It was a joy being there.

I caught my largest walleye and pike ever. I've been going to Canada 9 years now. It will now be hard to beat my 42" pike and 26" walleye.

I will post a few pictures on this thread when I get time to upload them on Monday. I will also post some on the kipawa facebook page.

Sounds like you had a good week.  Which cabin did you stay in?  Which end of the lake did most of the fish come out of?  Thanks for posting.

That's a lot of fish in my book! Sounds like a good time.

@SnodT2120
sounds like a great trip and congrats. You caught more walleye at Lake O than we have caught combined the past 3 years so I wouldn't say your numbers weren't good... your numbers make me feel like I have no idea what I'm doing since we fish the same lake! haha...... "tight ship"- great description. Thanks for sharing

See if this link works for a select few pictures of our fishing trip. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Yep it works for me.  I'm not a face book person so I had no idea how to see them there.  Nice fish.

Yep, great pics and nice fish! Don't forget we have a picture gallery here on this forum, too. I think it is feeling lonely.

Sounds like a good trip, with good numbers of bigger fish. That's a lot of pike, if you ask me, and some really nice 'eyes in there.

We break the 30-day barrier this week...and it can't get here quick enough.

Thanks for posting...
