Moosebunk Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks guys. Chris, Kesagami report is in the making. Some hitches this year in the plans but it will arrive in the coming weeks. So far so good. WallyB. Everything that comes out of the dirty Abitibi is freakish in nature. lol. You know that. The clarity turns everything pale... real pale. Yes, the road was a benefit to the community this year. First time ever having that kind of access to south. The local hockey tournament weekend saw 253 vehicles cross the dam at Otter. I hear Hydro didn't like that much. New hydro lines are pretty much in now so next year it will likely be back to the same isolated normal. I didn't take the drive. I hope the community finds funding to open it themselves in the coming years as it seems to be harder to reserve space for vehicles on the train now that development in the area (DeBeers and all other things DeBeers) is booming. About the MNR... yep, you'll see and read more on that in my winter Kesagami report to come. It's great seeing them out there protecting Ontario's trophy fishery.

wallyboss Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 They didn't show a good map of the road in the article, does it cross the dam at Abitibi Canyon then back across at Otter?? Or the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosebunk Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Exactly what it does Dan. Opening the world of fishing up to a whole bunch of new possibilities. I missed out. Should have been thinking brookies instead of pike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyboss Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Would kind of make it fairly easy to go ice fish Takwata. I think there is a motel of some sort at Abitibi Canyon which is now opened in the winter for the Snowmobile trail North Loop. From there it would be about 45 minutes ride on a sled to get to Takwata. Not sure if New Post band are there in the Winter though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setomonkey Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Great report as usual. Your reports are among my favorite to read, because you don't just focus on the fishing and catching, but also about the local geography, a little bit of history sometimes, and of course the scenery too. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
