Scott and Angie's Blog: Quebec Fishing Trip

My Uncle Dick and I traveled to the remote town of Rapid Seven, Quebec, Canada (population 27) for a week of fishing in July. We drove ~13 hours from Warren, Ohio to get to Rapid Seven (~650 miles). We stayed at Camp Denis http://campdenisonline.com/ on the northwest corner of Reservoir Decelles. Reservoir Decelles is a massive lake with lots of great fishing for walleye and northern pike. We mostly still fished from a boat for walleye and casted spoons and spinners for pike. We didn't catch a ton of fish, but the ones we did catch were good size. It was nice to get away and spend a week relaxing and fishing.

A little Canadian humor! This bumper sticker was on the fridge in a remote cabin on the lake. We used the cabin as a shelter during a big afternoon thunderstorm on our 2nd day of fishing. When the thunderstorm blew in we were ~12 miles by boat from the camp. We lucked out, because this is the only cabin on the section of lake we were fishing that day.

This is Gary from Athens, New York. Gary and his wife Cheryl were the only other people in the camp who spoke English (French is the predominant language in the area), so we traded fishing stories and fishing locations with them each day. Cheryl caught this pike while trolling for walleye. She actually hooked a walleye and then the pike went after the walleye and wouldn't let go. They netted the walleye and pike at he same time. The pike was ~40 inches.
