Loree Lake, Peters Party, Best Year Yet!!

This is the Peters party and their friends. They have brought many different people up to Loree Lake over the years, from family to close friends. They have been fishing with Amik for at least 12 years and this was their best yet. Numbers wise anyways, every trip to the North is a special one. Here is my Blog post from last year to see how they did this year compared to last,

Last years Fishing Report


Bernice and Ed have been making the trip up with the Peters for a few years now and are totally hooked! Bernice has a tear in her eye when she arrives and a tear when she leaves. She caught the fish of the trip on her first day in camp this year. A Nice 42 inch Northern! Her husband Ed also had the biggest Walleye of the trip, a Fat 27 and 1/4 incher. If you look at their totals they are pretty impressive. They brought a couple of Rookies this year Dale and Mary. Their totals steadily increased each day and on the last day they caught 100 fish in their boat. Once you get the hang of feeling those walleyes out, it is quite easy.

Weather is Beautiful, Water levels going down.

The weather has been really good lately. Nice mornings and warm days. A few pop up thunderstorms once in awhile but nothing too serious. Summer must be officially here. Water is slowly going down on the Cobham, Cherrington, and Blackbirch. Some lakes report that the Walleyes are starting to move out from the rapids and moving water but most days the best fishing is still near the rapids.

Cherrington had the Dodge boys come out yesterday. Nathan, who is 7 years old had a 25 inch Monster Walleye. I hope to see some pictures from that trip soon. There was 4 younger guys on this trip and they caught lots of fish. They were all Really happy on the way out.

Blackbirch fishing was outstanding this week with some new guys from Toronto fishing there. It takes longer for these guys to get from one side of the province of Ontario to the other than it does for someone who comes from Illinois or Iowa. This was their first Outpost experience and they totally loved it! They will be back.

We have a busy weekend coming and will have more fishing reports. Hopefully there will be some good stories to tell...

More pictures!!

More pictures.

These ones come from Vee lake last week. Two couples fished there and had excellent fishing!

From this.....


Comes this!!!!




Cherrington had a crew of strong young guys and a few distinguished gentlemen. They had their best fishing in the "honey hole" where Dads lake flows in. The best Walleye fishing still today is right near the rapids. I keep telling every group that heads in to the bush that those Walleyes are going to start moving out but they sure like those rapids.


A nice 27 inch Wally



This was the largest Northern of the trip. 39 incher.

Spending the Quality Time

It makes all of us feel good to see so many families going to our outposts. There is nothing like the time you spend with your kids in the boat fishing. Going to a remote outpost, far from any distractions..... beside the hundreds of fish you will be catching, is the perfect place to slow down.

This Tim and Austin. They just returned from the Cobham Morley cabin where they have fished together for a number of years. Tim started fishing with us when Rena and I first started with Amik 15 years ago. Him and his Dad Jack, would always get a group together and stay for a week at Morleys, never missing a season. Jack has since passed and we think of him often. There are a number of pictures in our office of Jack with some Big fish. But the tradition carries on today with Tim organizing a trip to Morley's each year of generally Fathers and Sons. Spending a week with his son, thinking, I am sure of the days he spent with his dad on the Cobham.
