My anual camping/fishing trip up North

[icefisherman]

Well I am back from my annual camping/fishing trip up North.

As usual tons of great time – this time we were three generations in the tent...great fishing both in Temagami and in Algonquin, the best weather so far this summer and memories for a life time...

Here are few of those photo memories for your viewing pleasure:

First some Temagami shots. It was nice seeing you again Wayne and Dan!

Bit rainy the first couple days but that didn’t slow us down on the fishing front:

 

Weather got better, fishing did so as well...

 

What a beauty shot:

 

Our home for the trip – great tent, the best I’ve seen...not a drop of water inside and very compy third year and counting...

 

Here is the record for the trip laker. Not as big as last years 19Lbs 15 Onz but close as 11Lbs 7 Ozs

And here is a nice visitor, not too camera shy:

We were lucky enough this year to see: black bear (leaving Temagami on the Access road), muse, snakes, fox, deer with two baby deers, loonies, etc.

After 6 days in Temagami onto the next leg – Algonquin park, Lake Opeongo:

Our own private sandy beach with my fishing machine docked on it:

 

Got visitor during the night:

Few shots from our day trip to Proulx lake:

Some great Opengo fishing shots. Lakers and bass were waiting for us as usual:

Quality family time around the fire:

And another beauty shot for finale:

 

All in All great time was had by all!

Trying to get back to speed on what is biting where but seems like couple Erie trips are in order as those eyes there have been hiding from me this summer and we ned to change that;-)

Cheers and hope you liked the photo show!

Wow Emil that is an excellent report what a place

What is that fat fish in the 14th pic your son holding it .a sheepy?

 

I love the shot of your boat with the sun setting in the background last pic.

 

Sounds like you had a great vacation .I have been off 2 weeks and the weather was

much nicer

great pictures. nothing better then an anual fishing trip. Is that one fish the the little guy is holding up by the scale a bass? If it is that is a monster!!!

[Musky or Specks]

Wonderful report. Family camping trips provide memories for a lifetime.

Fantastic, thanks for posting!

[icefisherman]

Sorry guys,

yes it is a BIG BASS on Opeongo. No sheapheads in Opengo Mike;-) My son had hard time holding it for me to take the shot with the right angle and it turned a bit dark...but it is Bass nevertheless. And that last picture and the rainbow one are my two favorites as well. Glad you liked them.

 

Cheers,

Great post! Really nice pics and fish,. It looks like the little guy is hooked already

Fabulous, Emil. Your photography skills are jumping by leaps and bounds, just like your mad skilz on the lakers in Opeongo. Just a great photo log. I like the shots of Jr with those great lakers, and of course the boat-proud shot in the sunset. You could sell that one to Lund for sure.

 

Three generations trips are very important to all, even tho the younger generation doesn't yet realize the importance of those lasting memories. I have one of those trips planned for the last weekend of trout season on Opeongo, with Pa and my sister's son.

 

Thanks for posting, and welcome home.

You did very well! I'm curious, at what depth where you locating lakers...and what type of lure was working. I had no hits on the same weekend and was in the same general location.
