Hi there, I just left a comment on your post about the trip on Lac St-Louis with Patrick Campeau. I thought I'd leave it here on a more recent post. First off, great blog! Nice to see others in the same area with similar interests. I also have a blog about fishing. I'm near ST-Zotique on Lake St-Francois.

I was wondering how you got Patrick Campeau to take you fishing :) I wouldn't mind a 50 walleye day, most of mine this year have been 0 walleye days. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and I'll drop by your site once in a while. Tight lines! Jigger.
I fished Lac Saint François for the entire summer last year, had a camp in St Anicet on the south shore, 2 minutes from the border, almost facing Cornwall.
I had a lot of difficulty fishing for walleye there, the water is clear down to 3o feet in some areas, so the only times I had any luck was late in the evening jigging along the channels or really deep down - say 50 feet plus.
Bass, perch, northern pike is everywhere though!
Patrick Campeau offers a guiding service, but he is not that familiar with walleye on Lac Saint François, he can take you fishing for bass there though, or you could come down to Lac Saint Louis, or Lac Saint Pierre, and he will take you for walleye.
You can reach him at http://www.pcampeau.com and tell him I sent you :-)
As for a good guide for your lake there is one man with a reputation of gold, his name is Art Laframboise, he lives in St- Anicet, and he will put you onto the walleye, but not until the fall.
I took a look at your blog, and I gotta say it's awesome, I'll link to your site, I think my visitors will be interested for sure :)
Oh by the way, I saw a few of your tips for fishing near St-Anicet. By the two channels you mean the seaway and the one inside closer to shore right? Also, you say to fish weelines at dusk and dawn. Do you use jigs for this as well? and What type of weedlines? Really deep ones or visible ones where one side is thick with weeds and the other drops into deep water? Cheers,
Thanks, I'll link you also. I know about the Laframboise family around here. My dad talks about them like they're fishing legends. I'll try and get a hold of him. One of the best back in the day was Adrien Andre. I think he was in Lancaster but I'm not sure if he's there still. As for the perch, bass and pike. Yep, they're everywhere all right. I think the zebra mussel infestation probably helped out the smallies a little. Like I said, all you have to do it anchor almost anywhere and go for a swim with a mask and snorkle and you'll see them. They're actually an impressive fish underwater. Not shy at all. I've had them swim right up to me. They follow eels around looking for them to dig up crawfish.
I am a walleye fishing maniac. I love strategizing and planning, though often I just get on the boat and go. I am a professional online marketer since 1996, I am also president of the search engine marketing software company acquisio.
