Where the Fish are and How to Catch 'Em
Bass: Bass opens this Saturday, June 24. Backwater has a complete selection of your bass fishing needs - new products such as the Venom Buzzer Shads, Dream Craws and Gobies to the original Chatterbaits! Come on in and check 'em out!
Musky:
The good fishing was leading us to believe it would be a great musky season and that prediction came true this past weekend - MUSKY OPENER ON GEORGIAN BAY! Those monster Georgian Bay Musky proved true to form - active and aggressive! Two legal fish were boated opening weekend with quite a few more hook ups and follows! Looks like we're in for a record season!
Top Lure: 9" Firetiger Suick Red Hot Musky Thriller, White BullDawg
Pike: The pike fishing just keeps getting better and better. There is lots of weed growth and that's where you'll find the fish. Penetanguishene Bay is still the hottest spot. Also try Go Home, North Bay (Honey Harbour), Hogg Bay and Sturgeon Bay.
Top Lure:
3" to 5" or 6" to 8" minnows, Spoons - Williams Wabler or Mepps Syclops, Rapala Husky Jerk, "new" Rapala X-Rap
Walleye: The walleye have been great! The fish are starting to move in numbers down to the Midland end of the Bay finally. More and more fish being caught are in the range where you can keep them - don't forget the fish in the 16" to 22" range have to go back. Penetanguishene Bay, mouth of the Wye River, Waubaushene.
Top Lure: Multi-coloured jigheads tip with a leech or worm, worm harnesses - don't forget the bottom bouncer

Salmon/Trout: Lake Trout fishing has been excellent as well as good fishing for salmon and rainbow. Best reports of salmon are in the "Hole" off Gin Rocks, Lake Trout in the Hope, Beckwith, Christian Island Triangle and Rainbow on the south tip of Christian Island. Captain Bill George says he's having great results in the Hope, Beckwith, Christian Island Triangle with Green Monkey Puke NKs 60' to 90' down in 100' to 120' of water. For more details, book your charter!
Top Lure: Little Cleo, Rapala F13 Orange, Northern King - bright and multi-coloured, lots of GREEN - Green or Orange Monkey Puke, Big Erns
