Fisherman Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I went with my two sons and a friend of theirs from the 15th to the 18 Jan, stayed in one of their cottages and used a day hut. This is the second year with Idle Tyme and we'll be going again next year. The two bedroom cottage had all the amenities other than bring your own sleeping bag, no problem. The ice hut was huge for 4 guys, 10x12 equipped with a sweet wood stove. Friday morning there was a power outage in the local area, packed up all the fixins for breakfast, off to hut and did the cooking out there. No inconvenience what so ever. Friday and Saturday had good numbers of perch, a few herring a couple of small walleye and 3 bite offs, never got to see them, probably pike. Took home 45 perch and 2 herring to smoke. Sunday was a little slower, didn't really mind, we were pretty much fished out. We had a great time, Warren came out and checked on us 3-4 times a day. I would recommend this operator without hesitation. Should have taken a few more pictures but when the lines are going up and down you tend to forget.

steverowbotham Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I have stayed at Idle Tyme in the past, and I enjoyed it. I prefer the bungalow style trip, but if you're into cottages and day huts, Idle Tyme is a great place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckster Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I have fished idle tyme for years. This is the 3rd owner and all 3 have been great. We had great days out there for whitefish and eyes......... put down some salted minnows, a spreader with a few crazy pinhead and just wait. We would jig a williams with a dropper line and a preal!

trapshooter Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I've also gone out with warren at Idle Tyme and he was great. He's a little further west then the calander crowd on a spot called Deep Water Point. Always had pretty good action there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I fished it for years back when Ross still owned it, always caught tons of fish. If the huts are still the same they were the best and biggest I've ever fished out of. Huge red things with a small inset wood stove at one end....

solopaddler Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ross was the man on deepwater point! and he baited the hell outta his huts He was the man for sure. Actually came pretty close to buying the camp when he put it up for sale. I've often wondered how that would have turned out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
