Hi, I've been going to the gouin reservoir for the past 5 years and its always a great experience. We usually go in mid-June (this year for the 20-24th of June)... I heared the best fishing is at the begining of June when the water is still cold (but you might get some snow). Since the water is a little wormer when we go, we fish in 15 to 20 feet of water. From my experience there, the best fishing is at sand point (from islands) or at places where the water goes from shalow to deep very fast. We usually jig for the walley with yellow, orange, green or pink jigs (or mix of 2 colors). When we do troll it's with a rapala that sinks between 9-15 feet since there are logs and rocks at the bottom which you want to avoid. I also heared people fish with worm arnests. Some outfitters are close to what they call "pike lakes". They are smaller very clear water lakes that are not attached to de reservoir and contain alot of pikes. If you already have your walley quota after 2-3 days of fishing (which already happened to us) and you feel catching pike which will give you more of a fight some outfitters will drive you there and they have boats on site. If you have any other questions... feel free to ask
