Thousands of spawning fish from Lac Seul in Ontario swim up the river every year to lay eggs in Lake Wenasaga and its upper river system. As the northernmost spawning lake for walleye and northern pike from Lac Seul, Lake Wenasaga offers anglers the opportunity to catch great quantities of walleye and northern pike.
Why? Well, starting in the early spring many walleye and northern pike on Lac Seul make an annual pilgrimage up the river system to spawn in Lake Wenasaga. This makes for excellent fishing opportunities all season long because many fish end up staying in our lake rather than heading southward again.
Lake Wenasaga also has the added bonus of being less crowded than Lac Seul. There are several sets of rapids on the river system that separates the two lakes. These rapids are large enough to prohibit anglers in the boats on Lac Seul from getting up into Lake Wenasaga. This is a good thing for all of our guests at Wenasaga Lodge because Lac Seul is heavily promoted and there are a multitude of boats that tend to crowd the lower spawning sanctuary.
To get a better idea of what we’re talking about, in terms of great fishing and peaceful surroundings, check out our walleye and northern pike fishing pictures from the last 5 years. Have any questions? Please comment or send an email and we’ll get right back to you.
Cannot wait to get up there this June and catch a few of them. Yuck! it’s snowing here!
Thanks, Jim. Winter will be over soon, right?! Looking forward to seeing you!
