Any of you good folks can swing our way in NW Ontario if you like. 26 King Street, Wabigoon, Ontario. P0V 2W0


Heading east turn south at the Wabigoon Tavern, turn left on Railway Street, another left at King Street, and Bob's your uncle.

PS, BYOB, and tackle, AND PFD.

Opps! call ahead. PM for my number.

You mentioned you were interested in trout, I used to lead canoe expeditions in northem Ontario, Manitoba and what was the NWT, the last trip I led was 43 days in the NWT. I have seen and fished a lot of lakes and rivers on those trips so this is where my recommendations come from.

If you want to go after trophy quality Brook trout head for the God's river I caught trophy sized trout every day for a week as we traveled the river absolutely amazing Brook trout fishing. If you want Lakers I would head for Dubawnt lake, I caught 168 lakers in one day fishing a 30' x 30' foot hole in the ice. I have never found it takes more than 10 minutes to catch lakers in any of the lakes in the tundra. I mentioned ice on Dubawnt lake that was the first week in August, ice can ruin a reservation at Dubawnt as it the largest lake in the tundra and likes to hold on to its ice. The camp is in the bay on the northeast end of the lake and the bay is ice free earlier than the main lake.

For that matter I think any camp in the tundra would probably give you outstanding laker fishing and if it was close enough to the Bay and late in the season you may be able to get some Arctic Char in the rivers which would add a lot to the trip in my mind. The tundra will require soe expensive plane rides but possibly worth it for a once i a lifetime trip.

had a bud who went bow hunting for bou somewhere in Quebec. he said on a down day for hunting they would go to some body of water and cast for lakers like you would for panfish

Some great Speckle trout fishing up there too... caught many 4-6 pound specks.

Gorgeous spring weekend !







Loving this new auger !! Weighs 3lbs + drill !

Farewell to the hard shack, for the season;

Vert with envy Paul.

Catch a few for me!!!!

Paul;
Top of the morning to you sir, I trust other than the somber reflection inherent in taking the shack off the ice that all is well with you and your fine family.

We're done - or better said - I'm done walking out onto the ice here now too.

I was up ice fishing on Friday, but stood on the fishing dock, drilled the hole from there and sat on the dock in my lawn chair while I fished.

Interestingly enough, I had a pretty decent time fishing too, but it's cold without the tent!

The ice was still thick, but really punky and easy to drill so not confidence inspiring whatsoever.

Anyways my cyber friend, thanks for sharing the wonderful photos and update on your lives, I always appreciate you taking the time to do so.

All the best to you all out east and Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all too.

A Frazer River BC trip for sturgeon is pretty reasonable and a blast.

Great pics Ed !!

Howdy Mr Dwayner !!

Still lots of ice, but with the weather warming trend, I was getting concerned with getting it off before the the landing went to "poo" !

Will still mobile fish, maybe next couple of weekends, but will switch from smowmachine, to quads.

There was 26" at the shack, but as you can see, not much left on top, for lubrication & the cracks are opening !

Last year, we made it to Easter, won't happen this year !

You guys are the best. Pictures are great and the experiences are priceless adventures.

Ed;
Good day to you sir, I hope the day's looking to be decent down in Texas and all in your world who matter are well.

Thanks for sharing the photos of the trip with us, I appreciate it.

My long time hunting partner and I have been planning a trip to the coast to chase sturgeon for years now and were slated to make an honest attempt when the beer flu hit us.

If you'd not mind telling me whenever you're inclined, who did you book with? Please feel free to PM if you'd rather.

Thanks in advance and all the best to you all.

Thanks so much sir, it's much appreciated.

Gives me something to start looking once again with for sure.

All the best to you and your fine family as we head into longer and warmer days.

We have sturgeon in the Connecticut RIVER, but seldom do i hear of anyone that actually fishes for them. I saw one small dead one on the river bank years ago. Dinosaur fish!!
