Fishing Lake Scugog

Hey guys, I was thinking of heading out to Lake Scugog, I have a pretty stable 15 foot canoe-I'm wondering how choppy the water gets? Do you think we would be okay if we stick around shore?

Also I've never been to scugog if you have any tips, hot lures or helpful advice that'd be great!

Thank you

scugog is an amazing lake for canoe fishing.
I used to do it all the time.

It is usually very calm and even when it gets windy there is always a side that's blocked from the wind.

I don't know how stable of a canoer you are but the average person should have no problems.

lots of weeds in scugog so make sure you rig accordingly and pay attention to your bait for the duration of your retreaval as scugog seems to have a lot of last sec followers.

cheurtruse is a great colour on scugog.

good luck

Thanks for the info man. This answers all my questions! If I head out there I'll be sure to report back!

Tight lines

I was shore fishing there yesterday with my son. Wind was from SW and I was fishing E side. Way to rough for an enjoyable canoe trip. Make sure you shock wind direction before heading out.
Have a great day on the water.

you'd be surprised on how good those weeds can anchor you from the wind.

found some of my best spots on rice lake that way

the area around the super market(port perry) is pretty calm even when its windy and yeah the weeds definitely reduces the waves i find spinner and buzz bait, and Texas rig work well there

Last weekend out for sun Rocky's perch and crappie and the odd bass

Hit the Nonquon River.
No wind and lots of fish.

What's in the Nonquon River?

I think that's the river that runs in to Lindsay from the lake east end

Nice little smallie Hidden Gem from scugog It has some monster smallies in some areas but they are far and few in between.

Jigs only its my go to lake for pan fish fun and games
