Thank you for the information. I'm booked already in Maine this year. I will save these two for future reference.

Jeff

Very nice

smitty55, thank you very much. Had no idea that existed. 

Jeff

I was supposed to do a fly in with Air Ivanhoe two years ago, would have been my first one. I was so looking forward to it, then Covid hit. Maybe in the near future I will try again.

Jeff

Love reading your stories

Good evening, if this isn't allowed. Please delete. 

I'm looking for a good outfitter in Ontario for a Non Resident Black Bear hunt. I've been searching the internet but being that I've never hunted Bear and kinda buying a pig in a Polk on the internet. I was wondering if anyone here could recommend a reputable outfitter in Ontario that also has fishing available for my non hunting Girlfriend?

Thank you, Jeff Holmes 

I should have stated in my question, I'm referring to the West Arm. I've never been in the main lake.

Thank you, Jeff

You won't be sorry! Love my Yamaha!

Haven't put mine in the water yet. Still waiting on Alumacraft to finish my boat.

Bought a V16 utility, said 8 to 12 weeks to build. This week makes 8 weeks since I ordered it and a shorelander trailer.

I hope the new 25hp Yamaha with the troll assist gets me down to a nice trolling speed for Walleye.

Might even try for some Lake Trout this coming year.

One of the reasons I went with Yamaha.

Thank you everyone, Nipissing is my favourite. Looking forward to fishing it again.

Jeff

@Joetier, spelling corrected. Nipissing is my absolute favourite place in the world. Been going to Nipissing since the early 70's as a kid when Wally and Hazel was running Lakair. Want to bring my Son and Grandson's up to fish for Walleye and Pike. I've been fishing in Quebec since my Wife died, we spent our 34th Anniversary there in 2015, she died December 2016. So, I want to show the Kids where the Wife and I enjoyed spending time. Want to get on some nice fishing as well.

Thanks, Jeff

Hey, folks. Been a while since I have been around.

How is Nipissing coming along, has the fishery improved any the last couple years? I haven't been on Nipissing since 2015.

Thanks, Jeff

The last um, corn liquor I had was cherry flavored. It tasted a bit like lighter fluid smells, I have never tasted anything like it. One shot was all I could stomach of that.

Jeff

@ Old Ironmaker, for sure on that. I will take them away from home,in the woods somewhere.

Guy's, thank you for sharing some of your exploits from the Lakair get togethers.

I wish I could have made at least one.

Jeff

Old Ironmaker, I agree and I have thought about it. Might have to get them in a tent a couple times near home and see how they do.

Jeff

Thank you for the information Art, I have been looking at their website.

Jeff

Hey, Whopper thank you Sir for the positive thoughts.

Yes the Lakair deal is a bummer, I love that place. In the years I have been going, I have stayed in the cabins when I was a kid. As an adult, I have camped there. I have had better success elsewhere, though the west arm of Nipissing is more about nostalgia for me. Also the convenience of close proximity of stores, hydro and hot showers.

Not sure that the Wife or the Grandson's would like the amenities in the bush. My Wife is a tough Woman, though she has some anxiety about being so far out in the bush where I have been going in Québec. The Grandson's are young, 9 and 10 so I'm not sure how they would do in the bush.

Jeff

Old Ironmaker, that is great that you are five years out. We are hoping for the same with my Wife, she is day +13 today after her bone marrow transplant. We are still at the hospital for a couple more weeks.

Thank you for the information on the other camp, and the plug.

Jeff

Thank you Art, it saddens me to see that happen. I have found childhood memories there going back to the 70's

Thanks Rich,

The Wife and I were up on the French and Nipissing this past June/July before she was diagnosed with cancer. We spent our 32nd wedding anniversary there fishing. One day while on the lake, I decided to make a run by Lakair. They were remodeling at the time, I spoke with the owner's Brother. He said that they planned on opening this season, he didn't mention anything about seasonal rentals only. I didn't get any contact information as he told me that the plan was to use the current Lakair web site.

With the seasonal rentals, are you referring to the campground only or the cabins also?

I want to make the trip with my Son and his Family, hopefully my Wife as well. Though I will be footing the bill, so camping is a huge incentive.

Though if I were to go back and stay in a lodge, Memquisit would be it. We docked our boat there for a few days while we were there. Great folks and would stay there without hesitation.

Jeff

Anyone know the status of Lakair since the new owners have taken over?

I'm looking for a place on the West Arm that has tent camping as an option.

Anyone know of a good place besides the old Lakair?

Thanks, Jeff

That was cool. Thanks.

I reposted some of the picturers and added a couple, since I learned internet explorer isn't friendly with posting pictures. Now you do not have to click on them to expand them.

Jeff

Thanks Mike, I've been looking over some of your fly in's. Would love to get my Wife comfortable enough to do one.

Jeff

Moosebunk, from what I have seen of Lake Kipawa. It is a beautiful lake for sure.
