Cherrington Lake
The Garrett party from Arkansas went to Cherrington for their second time and had a blast. Despite some inclement weather! Things are still cooler than normal up here but it is typical Canadian weather, ever changing and fast! These guys have a good time no matter the conditions. They brought along a couple of first timers and they are hooked. One task on the way home though.....decide which lake to try next year!

Morels are ready around Red Lake
Maija and I went for a walk last night through the bush and found some tasty Morels. We had enough for a few meals in less than an hour, hopefully we can find some more tonight. If you are heading to one of our outposts soon you may want to keep your eyes open when you are out strolling after shorelunch!
The Davis party was at Cherrington last week and had a blast as always. The walleyes were absolutely huge. They caught 2-28, 1-27.5, a bunch of 25 inch walleye, a 32 inch Lake Trout and lots of upper 30's in the northern category. A great bunch of guys Rena and I have known for many years and look forward to seeing each season.
Relaxing waiting for the plane.
Everyone caught lots of big fish!
Ray especially!

All kinds of animals being spotted in the north!
It has been cool at night in our part of the world and some of the days have been cooler than seasonal as well but the fishing has been excellent! The chainsaw goes with me on most trips to ensure that there is plenty of wood to keep our fishermen warm at night....but today the temperature got up to 70 and it looks like the nights will be warmer from now on as well.
Many animals of all shapes and sizes have been spotted around the north, some of them at close range. The Seal party were at Loree last week and saw a Wolverine along the shoreline for 3 or 4 minutes. A rare occurrence. Blackbirch too had a visitor right in camp. One of the Rennie boys looked out the window and saw a furry animal walking towards the cabin along the drain pipe. It was about 18 inches high and 18-24 inches long, I thought it may be a wolverine as well but he did not notice a big tail on it so I am thinking it may be a fisher. By the time they got outside to look, it was gone. I also have seen the pine marten at Cherrington a number of times. There has been quite a few moose seen on our lakes as well in addition to a few bears, but I hope we don't see too many of those this summer. The Collins boys saw a couple of them near the rapids on Vee Lake where they videoed one fishing last spring. Here is the link, Vee Lake Fisherman
Here is apicture of Cody Johnson who was the rookie at Vee Lake opening week. Awesome fish!
The Rolfs party shared some of their pictures with us. They caught some Big fish but here is a taste of all of their pictures. Looks like they had a great time!
Busy Beavers!
Perfect weather when I dropped them off at Daniels
Just one of the 40 inchers they caught!!
Sometimes the best fishing and good times are right at the dock!

Walleyes scattered, Northerns bang on!
Daniels and Morleys changed over today and fishing and relaxing were both excellent. Daniels had a group of guys from the Boston area with a lone midwesterner in their group who travel up to see us every year for the past 5 years because we have the best fishing in Ontario and it is worth the trip! Every one in the group had at least one northern pike over 40 inches. The pictures will follow soon.
Morleys had the Millhollin group. These guys have tons of experience on these waters, 13 years ago was their first time. This year was good for them but not their best. Although they caught 2 northerns over 42 inches and lots over 36 inches. They will be back next year and the fishing will more than likely be alot different.
It was a Red Sky this morning and I had 2 trips. I hoped the weather could hold off for half a day to get everyone moved.
On the way home from the last trip, believe it our not we encountered some pretty heavy snow for a few miles!
This is a picture from Springpole lake in 2007. Look at that intense eye!
