Leaving for Club Scott this Morning
We're a group of 10 this year, and we will be staying at the big camp down on Mitchinamecus reservoir. Departure is in 1 hour or so. I hear that they are having a record season so far, and I look forward to experiencing some of the larger walleyes the reservoir holds.

Hey,
Will be at Camp 7 on Mitchinamecus as the same time as you. See you there!
I expect to see many pictures and read many stories when you get back. Stuck down here waiting!
I'm back but before I post about the trip I'm waiting for "someone" to send me the pictures. :)
i've been going there for 8
years in a row. fishing is
still ok but is getting very
crowded. always have fun .
we got back the day you left
stayed at camp 7.
We were at camp #8, and when we left there was a group of people from Ontario who were moving in to camp #7 - was this your group? Cause they had been to my site also :)
no we had camp 7 for 6/3-6/10. we are a group from
upstate NY who have been
going to JB Scott for 8
years, i found your site on
a search because i am also
an avid walleye fisher.
how did you do that week.
Very few fish were caught but those that were caught were massive hawgs!
I think we caught everything in 3-5 feet of water, casting plugs like wally divers and husky jerks, firetiger worked great. Live bait was definitely not working, not in any form of presentation. I mean the perch were having a field day but the walleye seemed uninterested.
The fish were almost all over 4 pounds, including 1 at 7.8 pounds and 1 at 7.4 pounds. Big walleye, and quite a bit of perch too.
I usually catch a lot of small walleye when I go there, this year was just the opposite, very few fish but definitely worth the trip :)
I forgot to say that 7 out of the 10 guys are from the Malone - Mecena area, mostly from Fort Covington and South Bombay...
we are from the southern adirondacks in upstate NY.
not far from lake george.
we always catch alot of fish
and this year was no exception. we always release
most and keep a few to eat
while we are there. the biggest caught by our group
was 31" 10.2 lb. that will
go on the wall.
Wow, I actually heard about your catch then Danny and Yvan were talking about it when we checked in. Hey if you have pictures of it, can you send me a copy, I can post them for visitors to see :-)
Hello Marc,
I was in the fishing party that you met on your departure, I was with the group from Ottawa in camp #7. I wanted to thank you once again for the leeches that generously left behind. I also wanted to give you an update of our week, as you know, the fishing was slow. We managed to catch 10 Walleyes, the biggest was 3 lbs. The last two days, we couldn't even manage to catch a single perch, the fishing seemed to "shut down" completely. As you can imagine, we were pretty disappointed in the outcome of our week! I would of expected that the smaller ones to be active but that was not the case. The owner and his son where also out a few nights and they also came up empty handed. He mentioned that he had not seen "slow" fishing like it in years, all of his lakes were not producing walleye or trout.(Perhaps they had too much food available) That said, as we all know, fishing is fishing! Although the fishing was not the greatest, Mitchinamecus reservoir is quite scenic and the accommodation were excellent. I would consider going back, however, it would have to be at a different time of the year, I'm thinking late fall would be more productive?! In your experience, when would be the best time to go??
It was a pleasure meeting another walleye enthusiast!
Cheers,
Luc R
Good day Mark,
I am planning a trip with some friends to the Reservoir Gouin in a month and am far from being knowledgeable on equipment and techniques on walleye fishing - or any type of fishing for taht matter.
If you or anyone else, could give me some pointers on what type of rod, reel and lures to buy as well as any other important information I would greatly appreciate.
Thank you.
David
first of all you will want a portable fish finder. walleyes tend to go a little deeper in the late summer early fall so i would look for the in 20 to
30 feet of water. you will also need a good assortment of jig heads, lime green and
orange seem to work pretty good, 3/8 oz and 1/4 oz.
trolling also is a good way
to catch the bastards, #9 and #11 original floating rapalas with a small split shot about 2feet above the lure. black and gold and black and silver have always been my first choice
but i have also had good luck on perch color. as for a pole you shoud have a 6.6'
medium action strung with 8 lb. test. my favorite is trilene xt. i have always had better luck simply tying
on jigs and lures and not using a swivle, that has always been one of my secrets, simpler the better.
good luck and post again after your trip.
I heard from someone who guides on Gouin that this year, like last year, they are catching a lot of walleye in 6 feet of water in broad daylight.
Hi Marc,
I can't wait to see the pictures from this trip on your site. Looking forward to fish with you again on the Gouin Reservoir in 10 days!
There is nothing like a fishing trip with best friends!
Hi Guys,
Our group of 6 just returned last week from Camp 7 on the Mitchénamécus Reservoir. Had really wild storms following 2 torrid days of high humid temperatures. But we still managed to get fishing in and came out with our allotted 6 walleyes. Biggest was 2 lbs 4 oz. I'm told the indians netted the bigger walleyes last year in the narrows going to the next Zec.
