First time fishing Nipissing was a blast. Fishing was slower than we expected, especially after reading all these reports of you guys knocking the snot outta them! However we still caught enough to give us a taste and make us want to go back next year.

Landed about a dozen eyes, one keeper, a few perch, and way too many mud puppies. The major swing in temperature and pressure absolutely impacted the fishing because by the end of the trip the conditions had time to stabilize and the action picked up.

Caught fish on deadstick minnows and small buckshots tipped with minnows.

Went out with Anglers Haven and was blown away by their hospitality. Thank you Shelley, Marc, Grayston, Dewey and Ken!
