| Fishing at Nagagami Lake | |
 |
Nagagami Lake offers great multi-species fishing for walleyes, northern pike, yellow perch, and whitefish. The lake's many structural elements, changing depths, varied bottom content, and extensive weedcover provide diverse angling opportunities and consistent catches. The in-flowing Foch and Obakamiga Rivers provide unique, seasonal river angling opportunities, and there are nearby backlakes to fish as well.

| Northern Pike |
Although Nagagami Lake is a multi-species lake, northern pike get more than their fair share of angler attention here. With plenty of aggressive fish throughout the lake and trophy-class pike caught on a regular basis, fishing for northerns at Nagagami is no less than great. Proven pike hotspots abound on the lake, but some of the best include the Meadows (an extensive weedbed out from the mouth of the Nagagami River), Pike Alley and the island cluster near Pody Creek, the Banana Shoal, the mouth of the Obakamiga (Buck) River, Deep Bay, and main lake points like Chuck's Point. Most traditional pike lures work well at Nagagami Lake, but a few have distinguished themselves as especially effective baits, including large spinnerbaits, spoons (Dardevles, Len Thompson), oversized in-line spinners & bucktails (Mepps, Vibrax), soft & hard jerkbaits (SlugGo, Rapala Husky Jerk), and, for trolling, wobbling body / banana baits (Canadian Wiggler, Shad Rap). Anglers that prefer to cast usually target the weedbeds, weedlines and rocky shoals. Those who troll focus more on rocky points, fast-breaking shorelines (e.g. Deep Bay), and weedlines like the one out from Chuck's Point. Don't overlook the effectiveness of live bait, especially minnows, since many Nagagami pike are caught while fishing for walleyes. Fish live baits off main-lake points, at distinct dropoffs / breaklines, adjacent to mid-lake shoals, in / along current flows at river mouths (Obakamiga River), or around the island cluster near Pody Creek. |
Walleye |
|
 Much as they are at most Northern Ontario sites, walleyes are the # 1 sportfish species at Nagagami Lodge. There are few things that can compare to piping hot and delicious walleye fillets served with potatoes, onions and a generous portion of beans served up a traditional Canadian shore lunch.
Nagagami walleyes consistently demonstrate a preference for baits tipped with a minnow, leech or nightcrawler - twistertail jigs, spinner rigs, slip / snell rigs, float / bobber setups, worm harnesses. For the most part, Nagagami walleyes prefer deeper water (12 to 24 ft.) adjacent to key structural features, including shoals, island saddles, weedlines, river mouth areas, current flows / breaklines / eddies, main-lake points. Isolated humps in deep water can also provide consistent catches and some quality fish. Trolling a minnow-imitating body bait (e.g. Rapala) or backtrolling a live-bait rig along a weedline, breakline or shoal cab be effective approaches, as can fishing a live bait beneath a bobber - right off the Nagagami Lodge dock if you like ! Once walleyes have been located, jigging with a small twister / worm combo can produce great fishing action. |
| Perch & Whitefish |
Generally overlooked, yellow perch and whitefish offer great fishing opportunities at Nagagami Lake. These species abound, make for great eating, and have generous catch / possession limits so that guests can take fish home with them if they choose. Yellow perch are abundant throughout the weedy sections of Nagagami Lake. Eager biters throughout the season, perch are best caught using light tackle and line, small hooks or tiny jigs, and a minnow or small morsel of bait. Seldom fished, scrappy lake whitefish provide exciting fishing on light spinning or flycasting gear. In spring, whitefish can be best caught in the river mouths / current flows on minnows. Through the summer, they retreat to deeper water and are very elusive, but in the fall, they re-appear in shallow areas (gravel bars, shoals, current flows) and feed voraciously. Working a dry fly on the surface is an especially effective approach at this time, but tiny jigs and spinners will also catch fish. White, light and tasty, whitefish is best smoked. |
