going on fishing trip across ontario, leaving from windsor and heading up to kenora, will be gone 2 weeks from june 23rd till july 9th, will be leaving from windsor onto kitchener, onto north bay, onto hearst, onto thunder bay and then finally kenora so basically going up the center of ontario to get there (and will be following the shoreline down the western side of ontario to get home) first camp will be in hearst on stoddart lake (just west of fushimi prov. park) will be staying in provincial parks the whole time, (2 days or so at each park then moving on to the next) sleeping giant prov. park is one i know for sure (going there after hearst), the others...not to sure.. just gunna kinda wing it and see what we can find or pitch a tent in the middle of the bush somewhere lol gunna be staying at a fish camp in kenora also. some of the areas we will be fishing are: stoddart lake, lake nipigon, lac seul, eagle lake, white lake and everything in between.

anyway the most north ive been in ontario is kingston lol so.... kinda in the dark, basically just lookin for a little advice from locals or ppl who know the area, any recommendations on any other waters we should hit or what we should be targeting up there that time of year, depth, baits, lures, colors, etc. just any advice at all would help alot and be greatly appreciated! thanks to all who reply, cheers!
 
Way up there you wont have problems gettin fish. Pretty much throw in any smaller bait that'll get near the fish and its game on. Jgs in the 1/8-1/2 oz will score tons of fish, especially if tipped with a crawler or a leech. I like the spinner arm jig 1/8 oz with a small white or yellow twister tippper with half a nightcrawler. That rig is deadly for pike, eyes and smallies.

awesome thanks for the tip bud, ill definitely have to do another jig run!
 
that and the regular spinners (mepps aglia #3 is my favorite, and I hear of #5 for pike) spinner baits, and crankbaits (perch pattern works well)

Yep...mepps aglia are a sure win too for sure. Cankbaits i like alot due to keeping busy casting and retrieving and some days cranks cant be topped for their ability to cover water much faster than jigs. Rapala husky jerks, shad raps, CC ripplin redfins...all will grab lots of pike and walleye, and smallies too for that matter.
 
awesome thanks guys, i just grabbed some more jigs, ill definitely have to pick up a few spinners also
