Has anyone ever fished lake Sasseginaga in Quebec (about 100 miles Northeast of North bay)? I am heading there in about 2 weeks and would like to know if anyone has any tips for Pike up there! Thanks guys!

i have not fish this lake but i bet you can get them with about an one of the many early season tricks up there as if you where fishing for them around here.
where to look--- start with shallow bays, the mouth of these bays, top edge of a drop-off, what reed beds ya can find and shallow flats.
remember pike have just finished their spawning most likely. when we use to go to canada-- in the wawa area-- the last week of may, the pike and walleye were just returning back to the lakes from spawn in the rivers or shallow bays most years.
lures-- many soft plastics shaped like minnows do work on these fish. rapala's or any minnow shaped plug like that. the old stand by the dardevelle''s, we also caught many pike on a standard 1/4 oz jig tipped with a piece of belly meat from another fish-- always use one that you have keep for a meal and perch or walleye worked best.
just remember if its been a cold spring where your going, fish as slow as you can. start your looking in the bays that look like spawning bays and work your way out into the main body of water. also if it has been a cold spring, look for the better bite on pike in the afternoon and evennings. spend your mornings looking for the walleyes for your shore lunches and dinner-- just my thoughts-- anyways good luck and let us know how you did and what was it like up there.
