Lure Musky Pike

I am going fishing trip to Canada on Lake Nippising and i would like to get some tips or advice?
Where are good fishing spots? What bait or lures should i use? In lake nippissing primarily there is walleye, pike,and musky. I mostly use Rapalas would they be the best lures to use there???
I am not familiar with Lake Nippising but I have fished in Canada numerous times.
Here is what I've found-
Most Border and Canadian Lakes can be easily fished with only a handful of various bait's and lures.
Bait's?- Leeches and Shiners will be your best bait for Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, medium-sized Northern Pike. If you are dead-set on catching trophy Pike with bait an 8-12" Sucker would be your best bait.
Lures?- Jigs are probably the cheapest and most productive lure. 1/4-3/8 OZ being the best weight's and Black & Chartreuse being the better colors. Berkley Gulp Leeches and 4" Curly-tailed Grubs are good trailers for your jigs. Jigs are also perfect tipped with a live minnow or leech. Spoons can be fantastic for Northern Pike/Musky.
Rapala's can be productive in the shallower sections of any Canadian lake. Any Rapala that resembles Cisco's, Shiners, or Shad can be deadly if trolled behind the boat.
It's important to use Fluorocarbon leaders or a low diameter Braided line in some clear Canadian lakes because of the amazing clarity of the water.
I've used Fireline 4/10 "smoke-colored" braid and Power Pro 3/8 braid with very good results.
"Dog -walked" Topwater lures can be esp deadly on Smallmouth Bass and Northern Pike.
Try to find "current" or a stream flowing into your lake. This will increase your odds of catching fish.
Remember, it's not unusual to catch 50-100 fish in one day in Canada!
Hope this info helped ya? Good fishing.
