Here in Nipigon its - 12 snowing and blowing with wind gust up to 33kmph Nasty so i decided to clean up the bait shop So if I'm cleaning up what am i doing on the computer Hmmm

A few years back some yahoo shot a white moose not far from Nipigon I don"t think he lives here anymore Chuck

There have been many sightings up here in the ThunderBay District My wife seen one cross the road in Thunder Bayalso a friend of mine seen one in his field stalking a bunch of grouse that were strutting their spring plumage acouple of years back and numerous other sightings We have the habitat that they prefer, high rocky ranges that rarely see people and an over population of deer Sometime when i"m out prospecting around areas like this I get that feeling that something is watching Hmmmm Myself.....never seen one. I did see a timber wolf though and I couldn't believe how big it was friggin huge Sorta happy their are lots of deer here Maybe their are UFO"s Sandsquanches and Nessies Hmmmm Chuck

Up here in Nipigon We usually go for walleys pike and specks with the first ice Then around Jan we go after whities lakers and lake herring March brings in the Bows The only problem around here is deciding what to go for( What a cunundrum ) Chuck

Hey All Seems i do have a few pics on Photo bucket so I thought i would post a few of the Nipigon Area and some of the fish we get around here

Hi All Just a few lines to introduce myself to the board I'm Chuck and my wife Linda recently moved to Nipigon from Thunder Bay We are employed in mining exploration sector which puts out in the wilderness pretty well all year We do get a few breaks and we usually spend it fishing or hunting We also own and operate Nipigon Bait and Tackle which is located 2 minutes from the marina Our daughter Ashley runs the shop when we are out working or fishing I couldn"t believe it when we first moved here that the only bait shop was located 30 minutes west from Nipigon so we renovated our garage and solved that problem (plus created a job for our daughter) We make most of the tackle in our shop, jigs, spinners etc and I had a friend of mine show me how to tie Jig Flies which seem to work for all species of fish especially our famous Brook trout Around here we usually enjoy year round fishing due to the fact that the river rarely freezes from the outlet of Alexander Dam to where it goes into Lake Helen and then from the outlet of the lake under the Hwy bridge to just past the marina Steelies and Salmon are on the bite this time of year and can be caught from shore or by boat Just finished a one month stint in the bush and as soon as I"m finished here I"ll be wetting my line Anyone interested in anything available around here fishing hunting places to stay can get ahold of us anytime and we would be happy to help Till then Seasons Greetings and Tight lines Chuck and Linda

Hey All just joined the board and am up here in Nipigon my wife and i just recently moved here from Thunder Bay (me i'm from the east coast salt water) We love it here. the marina is about 2 min from our house and we are quite avid fisherpeople hiking , boating and hard water When we moved here the was no bait shop so we decided it would be a great idea to open one We recieved this thread from a friend and the pics and topics are right up our alley I"ll post a few pics of fish from the Nip once i figure it out till then cheers Chuck and Linda
