Where can I fish for big pikes in Ontario!

[JohnnyFisher]

Hey guys! I am new to this site and I think it's a great source of information!

I'm from Montreal, about an hour away from Ottawa and I was wondering if there was an outfitter in Ontario for some good size pike fishing!

Thanks a lot!

Tons - if you can be a bit more specific someone can probably give a better answer:

How far are you willing to travel?
Day Trip/Overnight/Weekender/Week or more
Fly-in/Drive-in?
Price Range?

I hear the St Lawrence has a few fish in it. You could start there.

Good luck.

All the big water channels and water bodies.

Specifically the; St. Lawernce, the Ottawa river, Lake Huron and then north of Cochrane and west of Cochrane.

You can FISH for big pike any where there is water. It's the catchin that's the problem.

Do you know of any Outfitter where I could rent a boat for a day?

Thanks

lol... I know that.. I need a place where I can rent a boat for a day and a place where I can find big pike.. 20lbs and up!

I was told Ontario had some of the biggest pikes!

Thanks!

besides the Ottawa, A good lake to fish is white lake, and Clayton, I know a whole pile of people who've caught trophy pikes outta there! plus to rent a boat for the day is dirt cheap!

Good luck finding 20 pound plus pike in Eastern Ontario!

I've managed ONE in 40 years of trying (Bay of Quinte).

Methinks you'll have to plan on heading further west and north...

I've seen some pretty amazing fish come from the area of Kenora... Father goes moose hunting up there, and they bring back pictures of some AMAZING pike!!

We're talking numbers too. They catch 20-30 pike paddling around a lake looking for moose, pretty sweet.

I have been specifically fishing for large pike for the last 5 years. I have yet to break the 10 pound range. Granted, I don't get out much but if your expectation is to go out and bad a 20 pound pike on your first go, then I would be doing a fly-in to far northwestern section of Ontario. Get ready to fork out about 3 grand.

Damn.... I have a 13lbs, and 2x 10lbs so far... and I am really looking for a 20lbs+ pike!!!

Those damn fly-in are so expensive!
