I am so very saddened to hear this news.. My condolences to you Paul and all her friends and family She will truly be missed

I have one Brian.. But I'm keeping it.. lol Good luck in your search..

After all that.. ITS STILL GREAT NEWS WAYNE...

Hi Guys... Great to hear the nip get2gether is on again.. Had a really good time last year. If weather and work allows, I'll be there.. Pick me up in the morning, if you see the big white rig there...

Oh Kalvin... I am soooo saddened to hear this. She was a wonderful woman. My deepest condolences to you and your family

Awesome.. Thanks for sharing..

Nice report n pic's Wayne.. Sure wish I could have made it there.. Thanks for Sharing your weekend.. almost feel like I was there.. Great to hear you all had a great weekend...

Hey Randy.. I just might be in MY TRUCK too.. lol

I was in that weather too Joey.. only going south... grrrr it all the shut downs that day.... Love the report and pic's... Looks like a really good time...and a beautiful home to stay in too... thanks for sharing your adventure.. was a great read.. Terry.. I loved that video of the skidoo ride. I almost felt like I was there and sure wished I was... thanks for sharing.. glad you all had a good time and made it home safe..

Yes.. thats what I heard too Wayne. An officer told me there was a tractor with double trailers jack knifed on the hill at Tildon lake and other spun out on T-bone hill, but no accidents.. thankfully. Did the papers report what the spill was??

Ditto to all thats been said... You should be proud Wayne... I'm in as soon as I'm home with a secure connection WTG Jennifer

WTG Congrats...

Would you stop that teasing Brian.. I'm on my 3rd meal of soup... lol

I'm sure I seen that Van Wayne..I'm outta there now.. I was right at the lake, the second truck in line when they closed the road.. dang, if I were only a few minutes sooner.. lol They started letting north bound through long before they let south bound go because of Tilden Lake hill and T-Bone hill, no one could get up them... Thanks for that offer though, very much appreciated... Very sad about that 87yr old lady in the Accident, and I sure hope that Dangerous goods load doesn't cause the area any trouble... They were only letting 1 lane through at a time when they finally let us go, because they were already digging up the area that took the spill... Let me know if you hear anything on that stuff would ya plz? I hope the gang all made it safely...

Sitting in my Tractor, in bad weather, in yet another road closure, in Temagami, staring at the lake.. wishin I could just go fishin...

Wow Wayne.. sorry to hear this... A few things gone bad this year.. hopefully they show up..

Great Pic's and Report Joey... It was so good to see you and Paul again, as many other OFC'rs... and meet some new one's too.. My grandson's had a blast too.. Now, FINALLY a female to win the tourny.. WTG Joey...Congrats

Great Report Brian... and a great day forsure..was good to see you again... Congrats again.. I knew you were smilin ear to ear as you pulled up that fish, I couldn't get over there fast enough for some actions shots.. but I have great memories now.. You can catch fish.. lol

Well said Wayne.. I was very lucky today too.. Spent my early afternoon and evening with All my children and ALL my grandchildren.. family is precious.. stick together..

NAW.. that sounds brutal... I took a drive to the park and looked out onto the lake and couldn't see much at all.. Don't know how so many ppl were out there in that wind.. Crazy Today will be better.. I'll look for you out there.

Great Report Emil.. Glad to see your locating them.. Nice fish..

Thanks for the comments. Sure was hoping to be out there today, but not with this crazy wind... grrr Not the best action for 6 hours of fishing.. but at least there was some action and the blood got pumpin.. lol Most deffenitely will be out Sunday.. Not sure if I'm gonna chose to work Monday (Family Day n my 50th) or take another day fishing... Will Do Brian.. Where are you going out from???

Finally…. I got out on the Lady today around 12pm… It wasn’t easy with this crappy arm of mine, a hand auger and my skidoo still in the repair shop.. but I made it out, with no fear… The ice condition was great for walking, skidoo'ers and ATV's.. we never did get that rain that was forcasted.. except a sprinkle here and there... the snow is going down and there are still slush spots, but not near as bad as they were.... I Walked as far as I could.. Augured me a hole (in about half hour).. lol damn, only 41ft.. but oh’well, I was exhausted and I’d fish anyway.… dropped my ol’faithful down and within 10 mins.. fish on.. YEAH… dang.. lost it after a few pulls.. but this is good, it had more power to it then a perch lol .. so I kept fishing.. in the next half hour.. got me 1 little perch.. back down he went. I packed up and moved out deeper.. I knew it was gonna be hard on the arm to drill another hole with that damn Hand auger.. so I tried a hole that had froze over.. nope.. couldn’t get thro.. but opened enough for my fish finder.. heheheh as I was drilling the other hole.. 2 young fellows came along and offered to drill me some holes.. THANK YOU All set up again in 63ft of water and down goes the ol’faithful… within 15min.. Fish on again., this feels so good, the adrenaline is just pumping and I’m so excited to see my first fish on Simcoe of 2011.. I knew it wasn’t a perch.. and there it is..right at the hole... MY FIRST whitey of 2011.. YEAH.. Excitement builds… then the let down.. dang thing knocked the lure out of its mouth right at the hole and I could only watch it swim away.. Oh well.. days still young.. so down ol’faithful goes again.. marking lots of fish, but no takers.. switch to a bad boyz type lure.. still no takers.. switch to a NEW Williams half n half and not long after.. FISH ON again.. damn what a fight.. never did see that fish.. but I feel it was either a laker, or a whitey by the arse… hehehe it was still fun and exciting anyway… Back at it with ol’faithful and fish on again.. but one pull and you knew you had a pesky perch.. Reeled up slow and released.. Another fish on.. again a whitey.. I’m thinking, this would be great for dinner tonight.. but this one too, knocks the lure off right at the hole… and I watch it swim away Fished until about 6pm, now getting dark and I start to pack up.. Those two nice young men come by again and stop to ask how things went… as I was reeling up to put it all to rest for the night.. FISH ON.. yeah.. and I’m thinking, maybe these guys can help me get this fish on the ice…. Lol But, I did it myself.. only this time, it was a nice sized trout.. good for the table if you like trout.. It was exciting, but I didn’t want the trout and offered it to the young fellows.. as I did, they looked at each other.. and didn’t answer me.. so I said.. ok, back down the hole she goes… and they both leaped to catch the fish..lol they took it home for dinner… it was great.. one of them even pulled my fish trap to shore for me.. again.. thank you young’n’s.. :thumbsup_anim:lol Now on shore.. about to leave.. in came the fire rescue crew.. launching the air boat.. for training purposes.. So I stayed to watch the excitement.. wow, is that thing noisy.. but it was fun to watch… As I’m driving home.. I get a call from the skidoo repair man.. YEAH.. my skidoo is ready and I can pick her up tomorrow… Surely was a great day on the Lady…and a great finish to my day… . I'll be zooming around this weekend as long as the weather holds up...

AWESOME Love the video's
