Lot So Questions

[Hodgey1]

Congrats, you're in a good area and tons of walleye around. I'll try and plan to up for a few days and very close by. If you hear saws and hammers it's usually us. We have the giant fry pan, may need a group fish fry and pints.

Thanks CBass. I'm in! Beer and fish, sounds great.

This is my setup, basically all I use is jig head and Berkley Power Minnow

Great tip, I will take all the fishing tips I can get being a novice.

Hodgey, what cabin is your group in?

Hodgey, what cabin is your group in?

We are in cabin 10 and if our group grows we'll spill into another.

I have a few fishing gear and technique questions for the forum, can I post them here on this thread I started, or should I start a new thread elsewhere?

First I would suggest you do a search.
Most questions imaginable have been answered here at one time or another.

If the question is to a certain individual... P.M. them.

Other than that, start another thread.

Questions you'll find in searching:

Who catches more fish...T-Bone or Rhybak? [T-Bone]
Should I try slip-bobber for walleye?[yes]
Trolling or jigging? [trolling for a nice ride around the lake, jigging if you want to catch fish]
Lake trout in late-July? [good luck]
Anchor or drifting? [anchor]
Jigs or crankbaits? [both]
Worms or leeches? [either]
Minnows allowed? [no]
Ogopogo in Lac Kipawa? [yes, I've seen it]

Probably would learn more from your search, but I had a few minutes and took the opportunity to poke my friend Mr. Rhybak...

[RHYBAK]

No problem.
I can take it

This is the first thread I started last year when I joined the forum. My purpose was to figure out where and when to go to fishing in Quebec. My group departs tomorrow, for our very first, of what I hope are many trips to Kipawa. My late Uncle "who I loved and admired" was a Quebec fishing fanatic and spent many years flying into the reservoir Gouin and was the inspiration for this trip. I unfortunately, I was only there with him once, to busy raising kids and counting pennies. 

In less than 48 hours I will have a line in the water and can't wait. This forum has been a wealth of help and information. Many people have offered up lots of information that I'm certain is going to go a very long way to making our trip better and I thank all of you for it!

Hodgey and others,

The posts from previous years are invaluable if you want to learn. It's a lot of reading but most questions have been asked and answered by seasoned veterans of fishing and of the Kipawa area.

It's a cheap way to learn too.
