It also depends on what you want... less population - more population... 5 star lodging - el cheapo camping......

Great fish guys.... carpin... hmmfff ... who'd 'ave thunk it!!

Happy Bday... now no chief wool blanket on the snow shenanigans!!!

How a television Network hasn't picked you guys up yet is beyond me.. thats talent!!

Well!!! Congrats!

I do have to say... that I was totally flabbergasted with the amount of lies and broken promises the last time.. im only in my 40's but i cant ever remember being so disgusted with a party so soon after they were elected.... at the provincial level im not party man, but I don't see how anyone can vote for them again... I shook hands and spoke with David Ramsay at a local restaurant and he assured me that the Liberals would do everything in their power to bring back the spring bear hunt.... then they get elected and then he even gets the MNR portfolio, and still can't do anything about it... pathetic i say... Ill need to see some real action on the natural resource front before I vote for him again... maybe its too late.

I gotta say.... we looked for a long time before stumbling upon this property in the Dignam Catalog - http://www.dignam.com/ The property came available in March and there was no way to get in to see it during break up so we bought it unseen. we took a risk but it turned out great... I imagine that as we get older the urge to finish the road in there will become greater... but for now 4 wheeling in is fine. The whole time weve been up there we have seen three boats total come our way.

Yup.. it was Jurassic park!!!

Thought Id post this for everyone to read!

Thanks for the congrats everyone, I have no idea why she put up with me for so long, must be my good looks .... Its a 4 km quad drive in, most of the rpoad is old logging road and in great shape, the last 700m is trail I widened, pretty rough. Ive seen plenty of Moose tracks at camp, and deer as well, though I don't think there is a deer season there. Theres a bear or two around as well.. lol... thats a fact. There is plenty of small pike and bass, Ive caught some nice big bass and a few decent pike, theres no shortage of fish, but finding the bigger ones is proving to be a challenge. Theres rapids above and below the camp, I wonder how much migration there is, ie how far up and down do the fish range?? I drove behind a family of 5 partridge on the road in that were two stupid to get off .. lol.. it was pretty funny. Last year I didn't see very many during the summer and last fall the hunting was fantastic, Ive been seeing alot this year so I'm hoping that with the very mild winter we had last year, it will be even better! We spent alot of time there this summer, which was the plan, I still have to upgrade the crapper, (sorry Roy porcelain id just about outta the question....) and I want to put a nice shower room/sauna in, theres nothing like a shower/sauna at camp. As for the fishing, I generally don't get a chance, when the kids and/or grandma are in the boat I'm usually the driver/guide/fish remover... OTHERWISE I'D SHOW 'EM!!!! Interestingly enough the pickeral was caught on my favorite lucky strike spoon, which I though was odd... we've still fished/jigged for them without much luck... now I know the big ones are in there.... oh boy.. look out!! Im anxious to got back up on the 15th for partrdge opening, and check out the game camera I set up to see if what I think is hapening..is happening!!

I just got the issue and will have to read it... but they all lie anyway...

Yup... red devil or minnows...

Thts crazy,,

Nice trip... cool logging stuff, i love finding stuff like that... this has also been the worst bear season on record....

Yup... im gonna bring some tin in next time.. and a smoke alarm as well...

Well we went back up to camp to install the new woodstove and build the bunks... and have a little R & R as well. Moniques mom came in with us.. quite the journey for her.. at 77!! It was a great 4 days, On Sunday it was Moniques and I's 18th Anniversary... we celebrated with a glass of Wine, Pork Chops and Beans.. and it was also Averys birthday today. heres us starting to build the beds... One down 3 to go... Finished with shelves... Time for some bass fishing! Redneck heaven!! Kids and Grandma! Anniversary Martooni! My favourite position Avery get the big one!! Grandma nails the biggest pickeral caught at camp yet!! small bass. Yummy Pickeral!! I just thought this shot was nice,,, maybe for the Food and Drink Magazine at the LCBO Grandma gets another nice pike... lol.. she wouldn't hold this one.. The famous furry arm airborne release! Managed to break in the BBQ we brought in... Is it possible theres a fish in all that mess.... Looking up river New stove installed this time... Our camp shower.... ( my next project is to build the shower/sauna house... ) We even brought a projector up so we could watch movies cinema style... Grandma turned Avery into quite the crib shark.... Here's some hot bass action with Jaden. Another great few days at camp, saw lotsa partridge and put out a game camera on a trail to see if theres much action.. cant wait till hunting starts....

way to go Guys!!

Very nice!! Now the "work" begins!!!

Lew ... we have the same chest... and yes a big thanks to Joey... and yes you too Paul, for pulling this off. Enjoy the painting Lew.

Great report Lew, It was nice to see you!

Actually... what most people do not realize that they only own the surface rights to their land... generally, and I mean generally, up north here anyway... the crown retains mining rights and sometime timber rights... check your deed..... This means that If I am a prospector I can (under the provincial mining act) tromp all over your property in search of minerals.... ie stake claims...

Thanks to everyone who makes this community the best fishing community on the web.... another milestone passed!!! 25 million page views!!!! http://my.statcounter.com/project/standard...168&guest=1

Thats a cool picture.

Nice Report... I love that place!!

Awesome, congrats.. those are beauties!!
