Regardless, they're described as beautiful fish, and Miceli sees several each year. A few sauger are also in Ahmic Lake, but larger numbers of this walleye cousin are in Lake Cecebe, where they spawn on shoals by Gordon Island. Rob Rainey, at Magnetawan Bait and Tackle near the village on Hwy. 124, agreed with the impressions of Ahmic. The lake offers good fishing and is well populated with walleye, but they feed heavily on smelt, keeping them in deeper parts of the lake.
Some people go out at two or three in the morning.
He adds that some anglers have tried down riggers for the suspended walleye, but with little success. May is too early to fish at our end of the lake, but in mid July the walleye arrive and the fishing lasts through September. When biting, the walleye are nice, but one must persevere. In spring, they head up the Magnetawan River and spawn at Burks Falls and North Creek. John Fonk, at Maijac Cottages, has been fishing Cecebe since 1980.
