A rainy morning here. Packing up for the trip back to Iowa. Safe travels! I've always found the folks of northern Ontario very friendly indeed, and your pictures make me want to be there now! John

Specks are biting—I got 5 yesterday. Got guys from Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota in camp now and a big Lake Trout derby this weekend. I’m headed south to Missouri tomorrow for a family reunion but I’d really like to just stay home.

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

That’s a Casey’s Taco Pizza for sure. I’m headed to NW Ontario myself shortly. Going to Alexander’s on the Rowan. Lake trout and Big Muskie is my target.

I believe it operates under another name now. Probably due to a change in ownership. Some of us hunted moose with them at one of their outpost camps back in the 1970's. The owners then came from Lindsay (southern Ontario) which is about 50 miles from where I live.
Question for Wabigoon. Was the mercury in the lake ever cleaned up? Back when we were going up into that area few people wanted to eat the walleye from Wabigoon Lake due to the contamination.

Yep, still called Bonny Bay, operated by Len & Nancy Davis, who are great people, for the last 15 years or so. Pretty much always booked from season to season. Jim, the mercury contamination issue, is in/from the river, which is below the lake & Mill & flows north towards the Grassy Narrows Reserve.

Couple of nice 'eye from the weekend. Both solid 23" fish, 2 different lakes, 2 vastly different colourations ! This one, from our "usual lake", tannin stained. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/lud4tbu.jpg) This one from a new lake, almost clear water colour. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/c2RRkEI.jpg)
