Understand it’s not to far from Nipissing. Sorry Pickerel fisherman going to target bass and pike – hopefully all live released. Has anyone fished that area? Normally like to use spinner and inline spinner baits that I make and the versatile rapala or other hard body baits Any suggestions

But also hit them top water, worm and bobber, spinner baits. When throwing tubes I'd look for steep drops on the riverbanks. Good luck, take some pics.
