    Lac Seul is a large, crescent shaped lake in Kenora District, northwestern Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 241 km (150 mi) long. It has a maximum (regulated) depth of 47.2 m, with a surface elevation of 357 m above sea level. It is the second largest body of water entirely within the province of Ontario (Lake Nipigon being first). The lake consists of open water bays, narrow channels, and islands. It is a relatively shallow lake with many rock shoals. This provides a good habitat for Walleye and Northern pike as well as Bass, Perch, and Muskie. Lac Seul is noted for offering some of the best fishing in Ontario.

    Lac Seul is located on the former lake bend of Glacial Lake Agassiz. Owing to this previous lake, much of the bottom of Lac Seul is covered with thick deposits of lacustrine silts and varved clay of varying thickness. The water of Lac Seul is tea colored. In clear water Walleye only feed at dusk and dawn because of their light-sensitive eyes, but because of the tea color of Lac Seul, it provides excellent Walleye and Northern Pike angling opportunities throughout the day.

    Lac Seul provides some of the finest trophy Northern Pike and Walleye and also provides access to the vast, practically untouched wilderness surrounding it.

    The natural capacity of Lac Seul is augmented by the diversion of water from the Albany River drainage basin at Lake St. Joseph, allowing hydroelectric stations at Ear Falls where the English River leaves the lake, and Manitou Falls, 30 km downstream, to generate 90600 kW of electricity.

    In fur trade days it was part of a canoe route west from James Bay: James Bay, Albany River, Lake St. Joseph, portage, Lac Seul, English River (Ontario), Winnipeg River, Lake Winnipeg.

    Give her project disguised as a gift, buy a pre-fab garden bed and buy everything to put in it; dirt, flowers, veggies, etc.

    I built the boxes last year, kept my Gal and the Grandmas busy all day on Saturday and Sunday.

    Then call her when your fishing and tell her you can’t wait to see how good it looks.

    I finished the rest a couple weeks later.

    Weed edges spring through summer (rigging or trolling SRs), and stick bait trolling at night in the fall where the weeds are thinner.

    The lake is weedier than it has ever been, and the recreational traffic makes it almost unfishable on the weekends.

    If I were you, buy some musky stuff, and save the walleye fishing for other lakes.

    Wasn’t getting at bragging in a bait just been awhile on this site that slender spoons even spoke about. Last year it was all slender spoon. Get my drift.


    Next year it will be something else, something new. Fishing lures aren’t designed to catch fish, they are designed to catch fisherman. Besides, what the hell else are we going to spend our money on, Scentsy and 31 Bags?

    Have the AT3 tires on my 1500HD. They are wearing fine, my only complaint is they are considerably louder at highway speeds than the Michelins I had previously.

    1 1/4 c white vinegar,
    3/4 c white wine.
    Put all in a 2qt jar.
    Shake well, place in refrigerator and shake dailey for 7 days.

    Drain and rinse well in cold water.
    2nd step—-

    3/4 c vinegar,
    1 1/4 c white wine,
    2 onions chopped or sliced,

    We got bored so this is what we ended up with. Little spooky looking down such a big hole but you can run everything out of this big hole.


    And when you left what did you mark that with so no one goes into the lake, like kids? Sorry man, but that is just plain dangerous.

    Brian,

    Was there any discussion on whether running Bird and Lowrance on the same boat will cause interference?

    I am waaaay over due for an upgrade on the boat. I have a new Terrova on the bow, which I would like to pair up with a Hummingbird.

    I am very interested in the Navionics offering you mentioned where one can chart their own lake. Which would mean a Lowrance on the dash.

    Does anybody know if this will work? I have a glassed Lowrance ducer from my original unit, and would add the side\downscan off the back. I was told by Jack at Actions in Anoka that I will be fine there. Just wondering if I use the Minn-Kota universal and hose clamp the SI to the trolling motor for the bird in the front will I end up with crazy interference?

    Use the Berkley ones, if you happen to hook into a tank, these won’t straighten out. All I use, never had one fail.

    The turbine channel at the Coon Rapids Dam always freezes early, it is a hoot to be walking on glass and seeing 20lb carp schooling under your feet.

    50.75″ out on Forest, Saturday 10-26. Photos courtesy of my girlfriend’s 9 year old daughter Evalyn, who was sleeping under my parka when I hooked up. Slept through the whole fight\netting (texted the pic to her mom about 25 minutes earlier). She was pretty excited when she looked over the side of the boat and saw this piggy lounging in the bag.

    Nice garden! Built my boxes this spring for a Mother’s day present to my gal. I used the landscape timbers from Menards, 36″ rebar to secure them together, and used 8mil plastic to line them. Mine are 4X8.

    Finished it off with landscape edgers and tamped class 5.

    I typcally make several trips to the “salad” bar when I am out working on the yard.

    Endangered enough that the DNR denied my permit to dig a pond on the backside of my land around the edege of Ned’s Lake. We usually end up with 3-6 in the yard that we see digging in the sand. Also moved 3 Painted off the road in the neighborhood on my way to Wayne’s to say Hi…

    As far as a name… Either Timmy, or Pokey…

    Interesting to see where exactly the threshold is for guys. I don’t remember this kind of outcry on this site when Minnesota passed .08 into law. But now at .05 this is Big Brother controlling our lives. Perhaps it is just the snowball effect of all the other liberties our government is slowly but surely encroaching on that has all you guys saying enough is enough?

    The impaired driving laws serve two purposes, one is to make money for the State and Counties, the other is to make the public “feel” safe of the road. We are no safer on the roads with the limit at .05, then we were at .08 or .1. People are still going to get behind the wheel intoxicated regardless of what the law is.

    The way I see it, the world is a dangerous place, there are no guarantees. So you can either get up every morning and go on with living assuming all the risk, or crawl under your bed and hide. Either way I can’t control what other people do, and frankly neither can our government.

    I fish out of a 620, in the bay out to the Gap, and certain sections of the river. You will be fine in glass.
