September 26th, 2005: That's the longest I've gone without doing an update. I have been at Elk Island Lodge for the past few weeks helping out with the September fishing and I did not have the right programs for updating the websites from there. We're all finally back in Winnipeg after a great year of fishing. The weather could have cooperated a bit more when we were trying to move guests, but at least during the [...]
August 1st, 2005: We've been experiencing some pretty good weather and some great fishing lately. Two of our biggest fish of the season have been caught lately including a 47 inch Pike and a 39 inch Lake Trout! The guests and guides didn't have a digital camera when they got the big Lake Trout but there's a picture of the 47 inch Pike below. The wildlife has also been great for spotting this year as we've [...]
July 23rd, 2005: Once again I have to apologize for not taking the time to update the site...I usually have a lot more spare time in July as the routine has been worked out and the weather is nicer. The weather has been pretty good this season, with the usual exception of Sunday's when we're trying to move lots of guests. Last Sunday we woke up to pretty decent flying weather only to find out that [...]
July 5th, 2005: Another beautiful day up at the lodge today, the temperature should get to at least 75 degrees today! The fishing lately has been quite good, it's a real nice thing to be on a true multi species lake where trophies can be caught in any species including Pike, Walleye and Lake Trout. Last week it seemed like we were more of a Walleye lake because the Pike were no longer in the shallows [...]
May 5th, 2005: I took the 185 on floats to Joint Lake yesterday and saw no ice on any lakes until about 50 miles south of Bolton Lake! Kitchi Lake has no ice, Bolton has more open water than we did May 25th last year, Joint Lake is open in the river and along the shore of the main lake, and Aswap is mostly open except in the larger sections. Everything will be on time as [...]
April 27th, 2005: I'm so busy right now that the summer is going to be a relief...yeah right! We're in the middle of selling 50 plus outboard motors locally, on Ebay and through word of mouth. Iboats.com is also a good place for people to find good motors so we have a bunch listed with them as well. It's been a cold week here in Winnipeg and not much better up North. The guys working at [...]
April 20th, 2005: It's been nice and warm here in Winnipeg for the past 3 weeks and the ice has started to melt a lot. The rivers are open and soon I'll be able to land a float plane at Joint Lake where the crew is working on remodelling the cabin. They've enjoyed some beautiful weather and have caught a few Pike in the open water in front of the cabin. Work is going well and [...]
April 5th, 2005: We just finished our last show in Minneapolis and now we're gearing up for a great season!! The weather has been very warm here in Winnipeg, and above normal up North as well. Our guys up North say that it looks like it's going to be an early break up this year since they've been have +15 degree Celsius weather for the past few days and there's a lot of melting going on. [...]
March 7th, 2005: Just a quick update, I have resold all my June dates at Bolton, and hope there will be no further cancellations. However, recently a group canceled their dates in Aswap lake June 19 - 26. I believe I'll have that date sold today or tomorrow, but it's open right now if anybody wants it. The winter roads have been more difficult than usual. Even though it's been a cold year, the ice had [...]
February 24th, 2005: WOW HAS IT BEEN BUSY!! We got back from the sportshow circuit late last week and have been running around like crazy to get the supplies for the winter road. On top on that, Brian has sold his air service business including the 5 wheeled planes and the hanger so we're moving to a new home. We will be in the new building next week, and the new guys operating the air service [...]
