Yes your son is indeed a "chip off of the ole block" great pictures ! Sorry to hear about your uncle , Mike .

Nice sled for sure , you should have lots of laker reports this winter with that beast getting you around

I guess you guys won't forget that trip for awhile , you are lucky you only lost your canoe . As well good on ya for being prepared for emergencies (Spot) That would have been one heck of a trip out !

Yep , looks like a great year for you . Thanks for sharing !

Great pictures , thanks

I would hazard a guess and say you didn't stay at that one campsite (claw marked sign) Keep the pictures coming . Time to upgrade on your shoes as well

Great year for sure

Nice bows Mike , they are some real "Brutes"

I guess I should of mentioned $$$ , I'm looking at spending max $2000 for a new one so that big triton is out of my range (very nice trailer though) and for a used one who knows. I will look at the triton lineup today and keep looking for deals ! I will check out some used side by side snowmobile trailers as well. O ya the bikes are 2 400cc yamahas , mid size . Thanks

In the next couple months I will be in the market for an atv trailer that holds 2 bikes , does anyone here have any suggestions/experiences with any ? I,m thinking I might be able to find a good used one soon with hunting seasons coming to an end and guys getting rid of them , if not a new one will be in the cards. Thanks

Have to agree with ya , that first video is "out there" for sure but this musky video is pretty good . I will be looking for some more !

Great report and some real fantastic photos , thanks for sharing your adventure with us

This is the exact reason why I drive 3 hours to get to a clean , peaceful spot in the bush where nobody or nothing bothers you

I would swear I seen a couple moose doing a jig in the background as well TJ I had a couple whiskeys steal my lunch right out of my car in Algonquin a couple years ago , Thanks for sharing !

This fish was caught in the same bay (40' flat) both times and was released. It is pretty crazy when you think about it because the lake is fairly large (1000 acres) and she has alot of water to roam but I guess there is something in that bay that she really likes and this proves C&R does work ! This lake gets very little fishing pressure so maybe we can get her three times , I will be looking out for those markings

I was going through some pictures today when I came across these , Both lake trout were caught 2 months apart this year in a central Ontario lake and if you ask me they are the same fish . Check out the scar on the side and small deformity on the tail . What are the chances of that ? August 2012 End of September 2012

Very nice Paul , by the looks of it you have had a great year on the water

I have the BFG A/T on my toyota pick up , very good tire for off roading (tough as nails) and they wear very good , I have at least 75,000 km on them.I don't find them too noisey either ! The only down fall to them is that they are not the best in snow/slush .

Nice new ride there Lew , looks good

So sorry for your loss Paul Dave

All the lakes I fished this summer were down at least a foot , we also have a cottage just east of Wasaga and I have never seen the water levels this low in G-Bay . I can now walk out to some rocks that I "use" to catch smallmouths from 35 years ago without even getting wet and some of my old smallie rocks are 20 feet high and dry

Great looking dog and congrats for saving her and bringing her into a caring home

I would say around 35 lbs as well , nice musky and congrats to your buddy on getting her back into the bay

That's crazy Pete , freshwater barracuda

Another old book I have is "Camping In The Muskoka Region A Story Of Algonquin Park" by James Dickson first published in 1886 (my copy is a reprint 1959) It is a story of James Dickson's travels and work as a surveyor for the Ontario government through central Ontario that is now known as Algonquin Park , he is known as one of the "fathers" of Algonquin Park through his role in the establishment of Ontario's most famous park in 1893 and this book will take you back to that time . Also Dickson Lake , one of the great brook trout lakes in the park is named after him .
