Hi everyone,

I'm going to be staying at Perfect Vue in a couple of weeks for a couple of days camping/fishing and while looking at my Navionics charts, I noticed that there is some deeper water in the Adolphus Reach starting about 5KM's east of Youngs Point, running all the way to Amherst Island.

I'm just curious if I could find Lakers and/or Bows in that stretch of water? I don't see any reason why not, but I've also never fished there before, so I'm going in blind. If there are trout in that section, I'd definitely like to give it a shot.

Any other tips for that general area around where Perfect Vue is situated? If I'm reading my charts correctly, it looks to be near Shermans Point and Hay Bay. I'm also definitely going to try for Bass, Pike and Walleye while I'm there.

Thanks for any advice or suggestions you can throw my way!

Yes you can get lakers in the area near the upper gap this time of year as well as the odd rainbow salmon walleye and brown however it is not the easiest bite I've found and the sizes are usually much smaller for the lake trout.I was out Saturday and the bite was slow, only 3 for 6 all small, marked lots in the gap but couldn't get them to bite. If you do go let us know how you make out.

Thanks EvesR, I'll definitely post an update when I get back and let everyone know how I made out.

Just one quick question, when you say "upper gap", which area is that referring to? Is it the whole stretch of deeper water right up to Amherst Island or is it a more specific spot?

Had some success in that area as well. Mostly small ones like Rob said.
Smaller spoons (4'') with some orange and white worked well trolled within 10-15 ft from the bottom.
Usually marking these fish pretty well on bottom. The fleas have been bad the last few times out.

Good luck,

My guess is 2-5lbs. We aim for the 10-20 lbrs when we go anyways

Or even smaller, we caught a couple around the 1lb mark and yes up to maybe 4-5lbs most are around 2lbs. Very tasty though. I would check your riggers every 10-15min just to make sure you are not dragging a little guy around as the rigger hit is very easy to miss at that size. This area seems to be kind of a "nursery" for the smaller lake trout in the summer months. We usually travel farther for the big guys as well. We got into a couple of 20+lb lakers the other day.

Okay, thanks guys. I've caught loads of Lakers that size back in BC and I think I may just focus on Bass, Walleye and Pike for this trip and not worry about making the run down there.

At some point in the future I'll definitely make some plans for an outing that focuses on trout and salmon and I'll put myself into a spot where I can have easier access to them.

Very helpful info, thanks again!
