Looks like I'm heading north at just the right time

Amazing fish!!! One day.........

Interesting read. Some pics would be great

Nice shot of Lloyd's belly

That is one fat-bleep laker!! Beautiful brookies, Bill!!

Finally leaving for this years trip tomorrow!! Depending on how well it all goes, and, availability for next year...might be booking it by the end of next week.

Looking forward to the pics!! Beautiful part of the country

Great report. Sounds like you had a blast. Love the mink "shots".

Holy giant smallies!! Nice looking fish too, beautiful markings.

Felt the one last year, never felt a thing this time.

Prayers and thoughts for you and your family Mike!

I second that!!!! Beautiful park, and, if you get the right site, some decent shore fishing.

Yup, all the way Rich!! For too many years I got stuck in the steelhead only rut. Fishing is about getting out and enjoying the experience. Whether you are catching bluegill or blue fin tuna!!!

LOL!!!!!! That makes two of us! Juli has smaller fingers and more patience. I just pick up one of my other rods and keep fishing

I thought so! Is your shop in Powassan? If so you've probably met or dealt with my better half's dad Craig Meadows. He's picked up all his materials for his rebuild there. Freshtrax, I'll send you some pics and a phone # in a PM when I get a chance.

Sure looks like it could be a Giesler. My better half's dad has spent many hours restoring one over the last few years. PM me if you wish any information. I'm sure Craig would be happy to share any tips or info that he has. That boat has been a labour of love for him, and, ironically Long Point may be where she is re-launched for the first time. Cheers, Frank

I did the same thing, today, Brian. Might give it a shot at some point, but, not quite yet.

Sounds good Albert! Pretty similiar to the brine I use for smoking salmon. Should turn out great.

Great report buddy!!! Wish I could have been there to help you two reel a few of them in, lol! But, alas, it was soccer Saturday for us, as you know. Well done!!

Some cool shots, Joey!!! Good to see you all had a great time.

LOL, that made me chuckle out loud, Rick.

Having read the entire report now, I totally agree! One of my dreams is to someday catch arctic char, I've always been blown away by the spectacular colours of the near to spawning males, that dream just came back full force. Drew your descriptive narrative is superb, completely draws the reader into the adventure. THANK YOU for what may just be the best, and there have been many spectacular reports on this forum, fishing adventure "read" yet!

BEE-YOU-TEE-FULL!!!!

Think the main concern with it on baitcasters is "line dig" on the spool.
