Hey bigfoot
Spent a fair bit of time on both, I never had a ton of luck on Gowganda but still love it, but Ducan has been one of the best small mouth fishing spots I've ever been to. We have such good luck with the bass there we never even tried for anything else. Early June topwater is insane, a purple jitterbug has always been our lure of choice. We only ever go up the lake past the cottage on the island and run the shore line. If possible cast right on shore and pull into the water, the bass usually hit it within a foot of shore. Stick to the shady side of the the lake, and watch for chasers. We found that one guy hooked up and almost always another bass or pike would follow it in and we could cast behind and pick it up too. When the bass are hitting it's like every 10 feet of shore line has a 4+ pounder.
