Good report Dan, glad to see ya get out on the water Good pics! Thanks for sharing!

Good for you Chris I'm sure you have done something along the way to deserve it.

Dang I've been here along time myself and I have never heard Raf yell

Cliff amazing effort on your part, simply outstanding bud! Thanks!

Jason the last ban that went through you guys got the worst of it, we still got dumped on pretty good though. All the local creeks and rivers here are a mess. I can't recall ever having an lightning storm that last as long as this last one, started about 7:30 pm on Tuesday night and didn't stopped until Wednesday morning about 10:30. We needed some rain but not that much. Today it's supposed to get above 90F...can you say sauna. Hope everything down you way survived.

Maybe in front of here Rich?

How much is loss of life or injury worth? Remember how you felt when Beans hit the water? How much would have worth to ya to feel the exact opposite? Listen to Glen.......and I do not say that often

OMG Sorry Norm but this was a funny story. Glad your alright though

WELL DONE!

Exactly Something doesn't add up here. Lew how many hours do you think youv'e logged behind the helm? ever had anyone choke ya

This was my second trip to LV and I didn't think it could be much better than my first but I was pleasantly surprised. We arrived at Red Lake (Balmertown) on Friday the 16th only to be greeted with the news that we would have to wait until the ice cleared at the dock at Sportsman's Lodge so we could get in and get unloaded. After a few hour wait things were good to go, loading up the Beaver. And away we go! Couldn't believe how much ice was still on the area lakes, driving up most seem to be open but we did see snow in the bush and a couple lakes that had some ice, but nothing like we saw from the air. The Beaver hits the water on the west side of the lake about a mile from the lodge and taxis up to the dock, still lots of ice to the east. One thing nice about flying in was being able to check out the lake and the ice free areas which was pretty much the south end of the lake, the creeks and rivers. Little Vermillion is a lake that is basically broken up into two lakes with what they call the Middle Narrows joining the two larger sections. Our first site of the camp after a long taxi in. We hit the dock and unload our gear, only problem was they couldn't get everthing on the plane and we didn't have any rods, so we spent the rest of the day getting unpacked and sitting at the main dock watching the ices flows melt away, a first for me. Amazing what the warm sun along with a good wind will do to the ice. May 17th Walleye Opener, this is one opener that I will never forget. The numbers of walleyes we caught out of two fairly small areas of one of the rivers that feed the lake was just simply unreal, so much that I had a rythem going with catching the small 15 to 18 inch males. My partner Norton for the first day with an nice eye. A few of the many that were hoisted over the side of the boat Norton with a nice northern he jigged up out of our walleye hole, and this wasn't the only one either Me with the biggest eye I caught all week The rest off the week we pretty much split our time exploring, fishing for the eyes early and late and fishing for pike in the mid to late afternoons when the water would be it's warmest in the bays. The pike came on spoons (GOLD JSM), small bucktails and suicks were pretty much my weapon of choice, a few of my better pike for the week Even Deg could get in on the action Here's the fella that started all this for us, TennesseeGuy with a few of his fish on the last day I fished. This was an exceptionally fun day because we were fishing reed beds with spoons and suicks and the fish were pretty spunky which made for some good battles. The final sunset I would see for the week at LV Our ride out on Saturday, a nice twin engine Beech. The group TennesseeGuy, Whopper, Norton & Deg A final view of area we fished a lot throughout the week Truely an awesome place! Cheers!

Right on Clive, just last week as a mater of factly. Pick a bay any bay. Pick a creek any creek. This week even seems better from what I've heard.

Happy Birthday!

I refuse to grow up Cliff you meant well, but no bubbles or movies for me TG is enough entertainment. LOL Mike! Cory what can I say

Sure hope I don't forget dinner for wednesday night Thanks Mike for the well wishes

Excellent Jamie! Pics are priceless!

Happy Birthday Art! May it be a good one for ya

Glad to hear things turned around for your mother Lew! I hope she recovers a 100%, mothers are special!

Best of luck to you and Leah !

Paul jump in the van and head to Joe's, they haven't left the dock yet I wasn't there to motivate them Rough night I suppose

Dang Roy lobster sounds great , I'm in the kitchen myself this am nursing a pot of sauce and making some homemade meat balls. After it's done tomorrow it's going in the freezer so I can't take with next week to feed a few hungry fisherman.

I've been monitoring the ice situation, I'm leaving in six days and going to the Red Lake area. In two weeks you should not have any problems, unless something weird happens. Go and have fun! I am and will

Very nice!

Speak for yourself, although I did lose a day last year . This year will be different we'll be on time and on the water. Life will be good!
