rceme74 20 Report post Posted August 29, 2016 Went down to the River today. Pretty busy, few fish caught. We caught a nice 15lbs Salmon. Nice and silver, so these guys are starting to come into the river., My son Jeremy caught this beauty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James01 223 Report post Posted August 29, 2016 I have long wanted to try the Nipigon River... I will probably be fishing off shore, but haven't the slightest idea where to go. I have read the threads, but haven't any points of reference. Any advice or directions would be much appreciated. A big speck would be dandy, but I wouldn't complain about a salmon. J.

oyo 127 Report post Posted August 29, 2016 Hey James, If you are wanting to fish the river from shore I have seen people do it with some success below the Alexander Dam. Before you get to the parking area and boat launch, there is a cut in the woods going across the river for the gas line, the shore has a sandbar going out partway in to the river. Seen guys pull out some nice ones in waders and using fish eggs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grounds Keeper Willie 10 Report post Posted September 11, 2016 Havent had a chance at the nipigon river yet this month. What's are the water levels like? Quote AGGGH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rceme74 20 Report post Posted September 11, 2016 Water level very low. Very tight around the points and slow current, nothing coming over the spillway. Lots of Boat traffic. Seen a number of nice fish caught most look pretty dark. Seen a number of spawned out and both floaters and sinkers around the boat launch. I was debating weather to go below the bridge and fish the lower part of the river. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naden 136 Report post Posted September 16, 2016 Just a heads up, someone left fish guts on shore at the Alexander landing and there was a bear hanging out in the parking lot last weekend. Just a small guy but seemed to have no fear of humans. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fisherdude 69 Report post Posted September 16, 2016 im sure there's quite a few fearless ones with the dump fairly close. I usually see one atleast cruising the far shore when I'm fishing the shore around there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
