slomo Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Just finished a great week at GLC! STG has posted a winter report in this forum but thought I would post a few pictures and observations for the off season. Fishing:Gowganda Lake is large and has a very healthy fish population. Our usual mode of fishing, as we don't have a fish finder (yet) on our boat, is to look out for good structure and see if we can catch anything. We were out on the water at least 6 hours each day - despite the weather- and never got skunked. Caught a variety of smaller pike, pickeral and bass. People in neighbouring cabins who had fish finders did very well. One guy caught pan ready pickeral each day, then landed a nice 6 pounder. His son showed up after an all night drive, was in the boat without as much as a nap, and hauled in a 12 pounder on 6 pound test line. There was one part of the lake near some falls where we were certain fish existed, yet couldn't get any until our very last evening on the water. Ms. Slomo decides if they're not taking lures and they're not taking worms, give them both.... IMG_0078 (Small).jpg[/attachment] As well, the docks are in really great shape.

Giddy UP Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Excellent report Slomo! It's nice to see what these places we love during the winter months, look like without that lovely blanket of snow covering them. I have some friends that are avid Pickeral fisher-persons - and travel all over Ontario looking for "The Spot". Sounds like there's great fishing there - so I will pass this along to them. Love the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowganda Lake Camp Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I am a little late in saying thanks for the generous comments. Thanks for the Review Slomo. It was a pleasure to meet you and Mrs. Slomo this summer. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. I don't take much time to browse the forum in the "off season" as you referred to it. Thanks again to everyone . Time to start thinking Ice fishing.. The lakes are pretty much ready , still a little slush here and there. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you happen to know if the little duck that was around the docks made it out for the migration this year? Mid-August and no feathers.....
