I had to use the secret lake section to post this report because there is no where to select Canadian Lakes. No big deal, just wanted to make this report. I fished Last Mountian Lake with my younger brother and fellow Northwest Fishing reports member Lucious.
We fished from Saturday the 6th thru friday the 12th of June. We set out to catch as many big pike as we could and have a great trip, and we did just that. I lost many nights of sleep thinking about how many and how big these fish were going to be. When the trip finally happened, it was truly more than I had ever imagined. The walleye bite was amazing. We stumbled on them in shallow water, 2.5 to 3 feet deep, while casting for pike. We could have easily boated 4 or 5 hundred quality walleyes on the trip if we had specifically targeted them like many other anglers were doing. However, we were out for pike on this trip and the walleyes were just an added bonus.
The pike bite was nothing short of amazing. We fished bays that Lucious had fished on a previous trip and several others that he picked out by researching a map of the lake. His selection of fishing spots was spot on, every time. We picked bays off the main lake and fished them with unimaginable success. Between three of us, we boated 376 fish. I personally landed 143 Pike and about 30 quality walleyes. My personal bait of choice was the Rapala Glidin rap for the most part but I had many fish using other baits such as the Big Hammer swimbait, Mepps inline spinner, Rapala subwalk, Rapala X raps, river 2 sea v joint minnow and spinnerbaits. All I can say is this lake lived up to it's reputation and then some!! The fish were many, and they were BIG!! I personally landed 7 pike at or over 40" with some weighing in the mid 20lb range. We didn't weight any as we all left our scales at home and opted to just measure lengths. Lucious had a day where he boated 38 pike and several walleyes. My best day numbers wise was the last day of the trip where I caught 45 pike, 2 of which were over 40", several others over 30" and a hand full of walleyes.
If you are looking for a place to make the dream trip of a life time and do it at an affordable price, this is certainly the lake to choose. You will not be dissapointed. The fish in these photos are just a few of the great fish we caught.
