Canadian Reports/Discussion
Manion Lake
The Turtle River/White Otter lake area:
From talk of very low Ontario lake water levels last fall of 2021,to extremely(flood)high lake water levels may of 2022!
I haven't seen water this high since 2002.
Pic 3- under water road on left going into the main camp.
Pic 1-back of the main lodge, where the 8' wide stretch of sand beach is now under water.
Pict 2- main camp, cabin 5 won't be having nightly fires in the fire pit anytime soon!
I’ll be thinking good fishing thoughts for you and the boys FH!
2018 is a great memory!
Lake ice should be gone any day now!
Good to hear the water level is way up,because of winter snow,& heavy recent rainfall.
When I was there the end of August,2021,water level was down 20” and was a bit difficult traveling from lake to lake though the small river channels.
Fishing should be as good as it was last fall!
Wife,and I went into Canada Aug 20,through international falls/fort frances without any issue. Took 75 mins.
Stayed at the outpost camp as usual. Weather was good,not a mosquito for miles,lake levels were about 18” low as a result of the lack of winter snow,& spring/summer rains.
Fishing,….
Walleye: excellent!
we would jig/minnow,or 1/2 crawler on,around rock structures & sunken points thru out the system. 8’-28’ of water. Fish were 16”-25”.
Smallmouth bass,& pike were everywhere the walleyes were.
Caught good numbers as well while walleye fishing.
Lake Trout:excellent
Caught trout trolling spoons,with 3,or 4oz snap weights 20’ back from spoon,let out 150’-175’,or find 60’-65’ of water,& vertical jig the trout worked pretty good as well.
Came back to the states Aug 28 at 6am without any issue. Took less than 2 mins,yeah,I was only one in line,lol.
Next Canada trips,June,& Aug,2022!
