Some real beuts from Beteauts! Looking forward to seeing the rest of 'em. Thanks for putting them up.

Great write-up! Your photo's and videos are outstanding as usual.

It's too bad about the situation True North is in, I was wondering why he was slowly removing outposts from his website. I was hopeful he was just slowly upgrading them (and not painting them all pink!), but I guess not. That Partridge outpost is definitely a special place.

I hadn't realized your wife had become an NP. That's pretty great and a nice accomplishment. They are so needed up in that neck of the woods. I hope you're next ;P

Thanks for putting that together!

They're basically the same material made by two different companies. I'd suspect there is as much difference between two brands of line made with Spectra as there are between a line made with Spectra and another with Dyneema. I think in this case it's better to compare specific lines than what they are composed of.

Is your Avatar a picture of you binding the leaders with your beastly brute RAAARRRRRR!! ?

When I looked for a jig rod I aimed for a 6' 3" medium extra fast or fast rod. I got lucky and found a G Loomis WJR 752S 6' 3" medium fast action on sale. It's my favorite rod.

This might help you a bit. Not sure if there are stores listed, but manufacturers are and they often have online stores and lists of resellers.

Here is the list of resellers from XZone Lures site:

Plenty of websites listed there.

There's always LeBaron and Sail as well.

Too cool. That's a step above for sure. Look forward to hearing about your adventures!

Not sure I ever caught a Crappie in Pigeon. Bass I've caught off the rocky island points in deeper water at the north end.

Slip bobber with a worm or minnow for me. However, this is from shore in the spring/fall and ice fishing. I've probably caught some casting a spoon/spinner from shore as well.

Nice photos! I am always amazed at what people can accomplish with a camera these days. Some of the images people are taking with telescopes and CCD imagers are simply astounding.

Not sure if this helps or not (I noticed you had a lot of technical issues with this report) so here are those missing photos in order:

Great report! The effort you put into your reports is much appreciated.

Buck & Bingwood is surely a nice camp. I'd like to back some day myself - with a drift sock!

There is a pretty big trailer park at Red Pine Lodge on Ivanhoe Lake. I saw a lot of bear hunters when I was there. Nice lake with a great beach too.

What a brute! I think we need to cast that as the star of Muskynado! (Feel free to steal that name for one of your musky baits. You're welcome, lol.)

Cheers to the guys who helped you out too.

if you're a heavy moviephile/tv elitist and the tv goes in a dark room, get a plasma

 

if you want an excellent all-round tv that you can watch in a brightly lit room get an led

 

lcd backlighting is old technology now.

 

led tvs are least power hungry, plasmas most if that matters to you

 

picture quality plasma generally win but the difference is not very big.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

One key thing to consider is the software behind the TV. I personally hate the Samsung software (I have a Blu-Ray and a Plasma TV) and wouldn't buy another because I just can't stand it. Of course, the others might not be much better.

f you can find a TV you like at Costco, it's a great place to buy it since they have a 90 day return and a two year warranty, IIRC.

I always liked Jack Lake. I never stayed at a private cottage, but I know there are plenty that rent. It should be fairly quiet in the fall.

Always wanted to try Horwood again. I know it should be a productive lake. Looks like you guys did well. That perch in the last picture looks like a big one!

Quite the adventure! Makes you wonder about flying in some times, although your trek was obviously not an easy one.

That outpost looks like it's had some recent repairs. I guess they are still in operation?

Entertaining video and great article! Looking forward to some more of that in the near future.

But what was up with that piggybacking frogger ??

Didn't your parents have "the talk" with you?

Holy smokes, what a bunch of brutes! All four species were just pigs. Looks like an amazing trip for sure. Thanks for putting that together and posting it. Great photos as well! Taken with an SLR?

There are many websites that have listings and reviews. For example, here is one site for private cottages. They have a review section for each listing.

Problem is, most people don't post reviews and many of the sites are dated or not very well put together. However, I think the biggest issue is that most people don't know about them so they are not popular. They require active users to be successful and that's a big challenge.

I've been working on a Fly-In Fishing Outpost directory myself just for that reason.

Thanks Chris. That website isn't even his actual website, it some odd archived site. I think it's from back in the Geocities days, lol.

I only know of the one group that's been going since 2009. I linked his blog and report up in my original post.

Decent looking cabin. Thanks for posting those. I always like to see what the outposts look like. Quantz has been on my radar for a while. Hopefully I will get up there one day.

Nice report! Always like to read about trips from out that way. Thanks!

Looks like a successful trip to me! Going to have to get in gear and book one of those myself. I think I'll leave the wife at home though.
