Got an invite to hit SImcoe before the huts got pulled. Apparently, a friend had swung a special package for the hut. We were a little disappointed when we got there. Overflowing garbage from previous occupants was still in the huts. The taxi equipment was in rough shape (thought we might have to push the argo home ) . Hut heater worked great,but the only way to vent the shack was to leave the door open. I realize the owner has only had the business 2 years, but equipment needs to be maintained.
As for the fishing, the huts were in 25-30 FOW off Pt Bolster, and the bite was slow and soft.
The group of us probably caught, in total, 100 perch, all dinks. There were a couple herring to give excitement . I even "found" one of them ellusive whitefish everyone was talking about. Shook him off at the hole to watch him slowly sink and chum the waters.
All the same. it was a beautiful bluebird day. I had good company, and we caught fish. and I am grateful for getting an opportunity to finally get up to Simcoe this ice season.
