How many of you folks fish north of PICKLE LAKE

[lenray]

The village of PICKLE LAKE north of Ignace

 

I know solopaddler knows the area far and above any living human.

I lived in Pickle for a few years flying food to the natives. The fishing was the best I've ever seen in that area. Legit limits of any species you wanted in 5 minutes. That was from shore too. If you had a boat it was truly out of this world. Another thing out of this world was the bugs. Anyone who hasn't lived in the true North (read 5hrs + north of Thunder Bay) can't even begin to imagine what I'm talking about.

From 1976 to 78 I had Pickle Lake and Red Lake as my SOUTHERNLY points of call . They were the towns that I could get out to and get some laundry done and have a shower. If I was lucky I could get to one of them at least once every 6 weeks. Sounds lovely doesn't it??

 

Any how, I used to cover ALL the reserves and indian settlements from the Manitoba border to Hudsons Bay to James Bay and like I said previously south to Pickle and Red Lake.

 

I managed to do a fair bit of fishing over the course of the 2 years up there and in some cases it blew your mind away, in other cases, the fishing I have now on Gullrock is far superior to some lakes up there.

My family lived there for 10 years or so during that time. My old man was the liquor store manager He was also a paramedic, fireman, and avid fisherman. I was too young to fish, but the old man would never come home empty handed. I'd like to go on a fishing/hunting trip there sometime, but i hear it's a little rough there now..
