Beautiful fish, very cool if it is the same one. Sure looks like it

Well that's just kinda scary Lew!!!

Superb Mike, you live a charmed life my friend. Great pics and videos. I love the pic of the overhanging tree

Very nice reports Tyler. Some nice fish, great photos and looks like you had a great summer

Incredible report Wayne. From Jen's recovery/walking/tower climb to all the fantastic pictures. Really enjoyed them and also want to wish Jen a speedy recovery from her latest diagnosis/treatment. She's gonna beat this one too and show that damn cancer who is boss

Beauty report, and those pictures are spectacular, very crisp and clean

Super report. Looks like you did better in the pickerel department than we did. Glad you had a good time up there, cept for the day you were under the weather. Funny how bacon and eggs can cure anything I miss it already up there!!! Which cabin were you in?

I'm in, I'll be assistant manager

We saw you pass us going the other way just after we left Noelville

OMG Connie, that does not look like fun, well unless you have a snowmobile

Thanks Lew, that is one of my faves too. I actually sent in my photos for print yesterday (you know, old school style ) and had that one blown up to 8 x 10

Thanks Terry, it really was a nice week up there, and I'd definately go back! Yup, 5 star for sure, thanks Davey Buoy! Thanks Mo, that picture was first thing in the morning, with the sun rising, just after the mist had dissipated. It was a "crisp" morning for sure, and as the sun rose on one side, the moon was setting on the next. I got pics of that too, but they were not so enlightening

Way to go Will. Always nice to help out our wildlife when in need. They are such beautiful creatures. Please keep us updated

Thanks guys, and yes, it is for sale. We talked to the owner about price and how many acres he had etc. We actually noticed ALOT of places up there for sale, including Lakair Lodge and the main corner store in Lavigne, aswell as many, many homes and cottages. The only two private cottages on Muskrat Bay are both for sale. It's kind of heartbreaking to think that many of the places need to sell. Not sure the reasoning, but it must have been a hard decision to put them up for sale.

Thanks Topwater Strikes, it definately was tranquil. Loved every quiet moment! Hahaha, Jack is very perceptive. Thanks Simon! Glad I could help Rog!

Wow, some nice lunkers there. Excellent report and pics!!!

Neat video, I like the deer running

Thanks C1!! Thanks Pete. We loved it too, and I was glad to catch fish awell Thanks hon, glad we could bring a smile to your face.

Thanks B, it was a real treat to see the harvest moon coming up while out on the water Thanks Dax Thanks Sour Squirrel Thanks Paul, I was happy to see the smaller pickerel too. That means they are reproducing and they'll hopefully grow up to be bigguns

Thank you NBR! Thanks Art, and you got that right, the bear would be a hurtin animal if he tried to get my Ralphie Ya, it was a really nice getaway for sure Skud. The cool T-shirt, I got at the French River Trading Post, but the company is called "The Mountain" and they make really neat t-shirts. The one I have is a wood nymph and is my favorite shirt. Her name is Crystalline and I've sewn more than a few holes in this shirt already. Here is the link and they still carry that shirt if you want to order it for your daughter!! The Mountain T-Shirts

Thanks JoshS! Thanks Phil, will we be seeing you at LSC this year? Thanks hon, I wish you could have been there too. Yes, Ralphie leads the way first in case of wolves or bears As for the cabins, the one we stayed in used to be the previous owners' permanent home, so it has a good foundation and is heated by oil. All the others are on "stilts" and are heated by propane. Actually, the website has a description of each cabin, it is very imformative and gives the history etc. As for Paul and his extra six inches, well that's between the two of you

Happy Thanksgiving Kelvin. Hope things improve for you bud!

Very cool video. No moose in the video? That reminds me, I forgot to take some underwater pics with my camera on my trip

Thanks Bigcreekdad, sorry to hear you can't make it up As for the cabins, all I can say is "Rustic." They are by no means new and we did go around and look at a few others while there, but honestly, they were well kept as far as roof upkeep, heat, kitchen and washroom facilities. The beds all had clean sheets and Hudson's Bay blankets. They all had TV's with DVD players, BBQ's with propane, a fire pit, a dock and a deck with chairs and also a picnic table near the campfires. We really didn't need anything else, never watched anything on the TV, just mostly fished and ate outside or sat by the campfire or went on nature walks. We did get wifi, but only because our cabin was so close to the main lodge that has satellite. Not sure if that was a good or bad thing, but we were hardly in the cabin to use it anyhow. They do have a game room with pool table in the main lodge, and a gym with equipment. Also they have a menu for Breakfast and Supper, but you have to reserve 24 hours in advance and they were not open for that at this time of year. The panelling on the walls of most cabins did kind of remind me of the 70's, but that worked out well because the only radio channel we could tune in to when in the cabin played 70's music
