Well no word from anyone on winter success there? How’s the canoeing there once things melt? Big parking/camping area?

Well my earlier planned trip (March 22nd weekend) got kibosched due to a work issue but things are looking up for next week. Gonna try to fish there Monday and Tuesday for one last hardwater rip - stay tuned. In regards to canoeing on Big Ab. It can be done but it is a big (bigger than Nip or Simcoe) very shallow wide open lake that can go from glass to 6 foot rollers in like 10 minutes - seriously it is exponentially worse than say Nip. So if you do it just don't stray far from shore. Camping is at your discretion as entire shoreline is basically crown - so lots of space. Parking again is similar to winter - weekends can be busy but week day not so much. Generally though you should be able to find a place to park.
All that being said the after ice out pike and walleye action can be off the charts. I am thinking of heading in there in 3rd or 4th week of May with the Zodiac to maybe set some bear baits and also to fish and get devoured by the bugs.
