my dad has went there a few times times. The sail fish fishing cab be awesome if you go deep sea/

I haven't tried to fix the holes. I guess i could silicon them but i'd likely just make a mess

I have one with a plastic roof got it at costco. The wind doesn't bother it i just screwed it in my deck and it's sturdy it had like two feet of snow on the roof eariler this winter . The only downside is the roof is like a corrugated plastic ( two layers the same construction as cardboard) and it isn't very resisant to hail mine is got a lot hail holes in the top layer.

I was wondering if anyone has been to this lake in the past. What is the fishing like? The ontario fish eating guide only lists northern pike, are there any other species? There is very little info on this lake online. Is there an outfitter on this lake? Any other help would be appreciated feel free to PM if you like. Thanks walleyebob

It's actually surprising how much water level changed over the week. With all the rain it probably raised 6 inches because on our trip in we had to do a growling portage because on river was to low to travel up but on our way home there was more than enought water. We actual meet 3 aluminum boats on this intermediate lake that required a push over a beaver dam up this river we couldn't access on our way there coming home. Talking to them they didn't have alot of luck on that lake so we didn't even stop to fish it. They were saying they were there like 10 years ago and the pike fishing was amazing and this time they had no luck. They were actually trying to scout out getting to the lake we were at but there is no way they could get there aluminum boats how far it was They were still 2 lakes away with 2 portages of 1-2 km each.

Oh yes, i'd prefer to carry a motor a few km's than too have to paddle around all week plus even a 2hp is alot faster to get were your going According to my friends gps were were 9.9 km/hr and we had one loaded canoe.

It was a great time. I had alway's wondered how much better the fishing the fishing would be on this lake because i had fished a near by lake that had easier access ( logging road pretty much right to the lake) and the fishing was ok some days. We actually stayed on this lake the last evening and could even get a nibble. Yes i did pack out the oil , actually had planned on changining the oil before hand because honda reccommends every 20 hrs in the manual( seems not very long too me) which we were well over. One interesting thing we did see was the last night we were trolling into a river mouth and at first it looked like a beaver swimming across (could just see a wave in the distace). As we got closer , on one side of the river a large lyxn runs into shore and into the bush and on the other bank a wolf runs in the bush on the other side. I have no idea who was chasing who neither were too small but it was quite a sight, and would never have thought i'd see that. Never did see any moose or bear.

I thought i'd report on my August fishing trip. Me and a buddy had sevn days to go go up north and do some fishing and exploring. I had bought a 14ft sportspal transom and a 2 hp honda engine which i love mainly for this trip and future ones (The last night i dropped the engine in the lake and thought but the next morning after a quick oil change it started right up after a few pulls. I spent that night thinking about the possible 25 km or so paddle out ) I wish i had pictures but our camera got wet the first day , i swear it rained everyday At least it was warm enough things were able to most dry out between showers. In all we did fairly well with a 25" walleye being the largest walleye that we released. It's funny we stopped to fish this small pothole lake/ pond on our way out and in 2 hours we caught 14 chuck 27-28 " pike which were more and bigger pike than we caught in the main target lake. On our first night we camped beside this lake and heard several large splashs on the lake but never did try that night because we were so tired . It was an 8 hr drive and 2 1km plus portages up to this point in the rain . I am definitely looking forward to next year and trying a new spot. I thinking next year we are going to try an even more remote spot and hopefully get into some true quality fishing

Hopefully no news is good news.

Iam going to rice lake in august any info would be great.

Ya i'm not really worried about the people there i keep to myself, i just don't want a huge fine . I'll keep my eyes open for signs i guess.

I've been researching a route into an unnamed lake up north (chapleau area) and came across someone saying that only those that payed to go on a fly in trip there can fish the lake. It is on crown land how can that be ? if i put the effort to portage to this i should be allowed to fish there i feel. I have heard of the mnr plowing up old logging roads to restrict access, but is it actually illegal if i make it to this lake and fish? I've always thought that crown land was available to be used by all residents of this country not just for those rich enough to pay for it.

How was the trip? i'm thinking of heading up there in a few more weeks.
