I have heard of Lac Evans but have not talked to anyone who has visited. We fished Silsby last May and did well. How were the accomodations and did you need guides??? I saw that they had Brook Trout in the rivers. Did your group try for them?..Always looking for new and different places!!!

Thanks

hi russ,
thanks for the post. I've not fished there, but it sounds like a great spot. A 46" pike that weighs an honest 25 pounds is a real fattie! Like to see what a 50+ incher of the same dimensions would scale out at.
best,

83 pike over 40 inches in one trip is not believable, better check your measuring tape.

Then is no way you will believe me when I say we avg over 150 pike 41" for a week at TALTSON BIG PIKE CAMP in N.W.T. CANADA, the best trip over 300, 41" pike for the week. Go to the web page and ck it out for yourself. I will ck out Lake Evans THANKS

Come on guys, let's not get too puffed about pike over 40 inches. I've had MANY MANY MANY days on many different lakes when I've caught 50 plus fish over 40 inches by sight fishing off stepladders over pike poop piles I've marked earlier.

Most of these mega number days, but not all, have occurred in springtime in large lakes when temps have concentrated the big goons in very small areas.

It's not unusual for the big ones to congregate in large groups in the vicinity of large whitefish, suckers or tullebees. I've witnessed them feeding in packs, actually herding large forage into "box canyons" and blasting the dickens out of them to the point where the normally crystal clear water gets so cloudy you can't see an inch into it, in a area half the size of a football field or larger!

Where? Most of the bigger systems I've fished in Saskatchewan, former NWT, Manitoba, and Alaska!

It's partly where you go, but mostly what you do when you get there!

best
