Posts: 956 Location: Home of the 2016 World Series Champion Cubs | Heading up to Crow Lake Ont. for my first time in late sept. Other than knowing that its a clear water lake, I know nothing else about it. Decent weed sturcture? Significant reefs/islands? (still waiting on a map) Current areas? Is it on a flowage? Algae bloom? If so, when? Not asking for your hotspots, just some general tips and clues on a lake I've never been to. I'm not saying I woulndt appreciate a hot spot or to, just not asking for them.  Thanks, Karl Edited by KARLOUTDOORS 9/11/2005 11:44 PM | ||

Posts: 2754 Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | That's a tough one- most resorts have guides they use/recommend. Personally, I haven't stayed at any of the resorts on Crow. I also haven't used a guide on Kagagi/Crow, but have managed to locate and catch fish there. I would probably ask Phil at Anglers Pro Shop for a recommendation. That's not to say Crow is an easy lake to fish, i.e., it's a Canadian "trout water" . These types of Canadian water's can be very rewarding or very humbling. When I hit this kind of water I try to not get overwhelmed by all the available structure. Read Dick Pearson's book, especially the section on trout water. Every rock reef doesn't hold fish, neither does every point. You have to explore and learn the stucture make up of each spot. The map will only show you there's a reef, point, saddle, or break line. You have to go there and take a look. If it doesn't look good take a couple casts & move on! I use the morning & early afternoon to explore, then fish hard from ~3:00PM to dark on the the "milk run" spot's I've found. (right now I have ~10 spot's marked on my map as my milk run). Alway's start with the spot farthest from camp and work your way back toward camp, you don't want to have a 12 mile run back to camp in the dark, especially if there's no moon or you're not real comfortable with the lake. There are some who catch some really nice fish and numbers of fish trolling large baits- Jakes and Wishmasters. This is also a great way to explore, i.e., it slows you down, yet you can cover a lot of water. For me the exploration of new area's is the best part of the game. However, I am not a expert on Kagagi/Crow, as I've only actually spent two (2) day's on it. One day in late June of this year and one day in 2003. But it is one of those lakes that I will always come back too. So what the heck was I doing on Crow? Taking a break from catching +10lb walleyes with the ZaltNAD gang on our annual trophy Canadian walleye expedition....... I think maybe next year Kagagi will get it's own dedicated expedition Have fun! Al Edited by ESOX Maniac 8/6/2005 8:13 AM | ||
