Trout lake was amazing! If I were going back, I would want to go no where else!

Sandy Beach Lodge, on Trout lake in Red Lake Ontario. Last week of may. Our trip was delayed two weeks because there was still ice. On the flyin we saw Caribou running across the ice. We really lucked out with our guide too. One of the guides didn’t show up, so we got the retired native guide that has been fishing the lake for 40 years. There day finishes at 5, so we would rent a boat until dark. He told us where to troll and what to use and he nailed it! I could never afford this trip. Someone very close to me got a lump some of money and asked me where I wanted to go. I don’t know what it cost, but we flew from Toronto to Thunder Bay, Thunder Bay to red lake and then the next morning float plane to trout lake.

I think I have a problem. Lol

I wondered if I just heat the crap out of it, wouldn’t it eventually stop putting out poisons fumes?

I’ll just cut a grill to fit, heat it with a torch and bend it over as hooks

The pike was the first fish of the trip, 42”. The laker was 26lbs4ozs. The walleye in the other pic was one of hundreds just like it. The one afternoon we smashed them for 4 hours straight, I was actually surprised when my husky jerk made it back to the boat. I even started throwing some big pike lures and walleye were still hitting it. Lol

Oh wow! Thanks for the heads up, looks like I will be building my own ;)

Thanks guys! I think I will do this to mine, just as maintenance. Tight lines

I bought my 15hp 4 stroke merc in 2016. It’s been flawless and it doesn’t burn any gas. At all, it’s incredible

That’s 3” of white ice, in that spot. Scary stuff for the inexperienced angler. Stay safe

Saw this on another website, just wanted to share. Turns your big buddy heater into a stove for less then $4 Wooster Brush F0001 Acme Deluxe Five Gallon Grid https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0019ESMLK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_tg68FbK0WTJYS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I wonder if they mean on the side with birds of prey. The other side where they fish might be a different story. Still thinking about going for a drive. Even if it’s just for a drive to get out of the house. If it’s not posted, I will still try to fish. Tight lines

Wow! That sucks. Thanks for the info

I checked Mountsberg website and it said it was open. At Mountsberg, there’s no gate. Not usually much human contact. Think I will wait a few days at least, this cold snap won’t be good any ways. Next warmer sunny morning might be though. Thanks for the info guys.

Think the ice is gone?
