Clear and cold here in the northwoods  and interesting. On December 31, 2011 while sitting looking out the window with visiting friends Ken and Judy, we watched 11 Wolves appear along the shore line of the narrows and walk away down Wabaskang.   Tom wonders about the connection between the year ending, the number of wolves and the fact that they were walking away.  Metaphoric anyway.

And while your in this wonder state , think on this Polish proverb…………..

Fish, to taste right, must swim three times – in water, in butter and in wine. —–

Didn’t even need the ol’ bottle of bug dope this summer, fishing was fantastic and you couldn’t beat the weather here…. beautiful, just beautiful.  Book your Ontario fishing trip soon for next year.

Gary, Vicky and Jake,  more happy fishing people.  We enjoyed their visit and they enjoyed the lake.  What a beautiful first week of September we had.

Camp’s been full for most of the season, and fishing has been great.  We have a few openings for August & September.  Check us out,  the weather is beautiful here and you need a break.

Jump in ……  We were honoured to be  hosts to a wonderful  celebration

July 31 to August 6.  We won’t soon forget the great food and great times and we will always remember the great people we met.  Thanks for sharing

Sarah & Brent Low had a great fishing trip to Sleepy Dog this July.  This girl loves angling, her smile says it all.

Weather is great.  Fishing is great.  Life is great.

Our opening week started off a little cool, weather wise.  In fact there was snow in the air 3 days ago but it didn’t stick to the ground.  The wind has been steady from the North East for 14 days making water temperatures  perfect for  spring Lake Trout fishing.  Jo Ann Schulenberger caught and released a 29″ Lake Trout. Kudos to her for releasing such a beautiful trophy back to the lake.  Some great Smallies were  caught and released during this opening week too.  Rock and  Noel Petit  also had a good week of fishing on Wabaskang Lake.  Noel caught this nice 24″ long Lake Trout.  We had a great conversation with them on the latest, greatest recipe one might use to enjoy this fish.  So maybe we will post some soon!

I have been down at the water side leveling the dock,  redecking it and fixing the Boat House.   Getting the camp in shape for  you.   The work is satisfying  and the changing scenery is incredible to watch.   Thought I’d share some of it.

Well spring is here,

the Robins are singing at 5:05 am, at least thats when they woke me up.

Then the geese started. I also have a Saw Whet Owl that has a call like

a safety buzzer on the small equipment  that is used in a big box stores,

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, when I go to bed.

The silence of winter is over.

The snow banks are receding rapidly and I can almost walk anywhere in my yard

Yippee.
