Hey guys-
I’m in the process of planning a trip to the St. Lawrence in the middle of August. I’ll be bringing my boat up from Massachusetts and plan to fish with a partner for plus or minus 4 full days.
I fished the river once before, with a local guide, three years ago. We fished for two days out of the Waddington area and did very well on a handful of presentations. Smallmouth, largemouth, walleye and pike. Conditions were a mix of all 3 spawning phases, so we fished shallow for everything but the walleye. There didnt seem to be any shortage of bass up shallow in the bays we fished on that stretch of the river.
I’m wondering if location becomes more important during the summer? Am I better off lodging and fishing further south in and around the 1000 island region than I would be up in the further north stretches of the river? Are heavy current and sloppy weather conditions a bigger factor down in the 1000 islands area? I’ve got a 19’ aluminum bass boat, and would prefer to avoid super long runs in either direction to find good fish.
Any thoughts or comments are welcome. Thanks!
