A few friends and I have been coming to this area in the fall for the past several years.  This spot has always been good.  This year (2007) we took about a hundred small month bass and a decent pike from this location.  Released all of them.

The Moon River basin is know for its Pike, Pickerel (Walleye), and Small Mouth Bass.

The waymark coordinates are only accessible over water. Canoes to light powered aluminum boats are sufficient for this and nearby locations.  Larger craft should be used when the weather requires or if you wish to venture out into Georgian Bay.  There are several marinas and camp grounds, nearby Grisdales is where I stay.  Easily reached (three seasons) from the main highway 400 which is 45 minutes away.  Light to medium tackle is fine.  We use 8 pound test, or so,  line and six foot rods and spinning reels. Spinners seems to work best.  Some success with plugs late in the fall.  One friend took a six pound bass using worms.  This is typical Canadian shield country.  All types of bottoms from sand, to rock, to silt/mud and the vegetation to fit.  Many a steep drop off or holes - bring your sonar.

 If you have the desire, tackle, gear, time and armament, or just feel lucky, you can go after the occasional monster Muskellunge.  The Ontario record Muskie weighed 65 pounds and measured 58 inches in length with 30.5 inches in girth.  Visit Monster.  This beast was caught within a few miles of the boat launch coordinates.
