Hey all just booked the third weekend in Feb at Idle Tymes ice camp...Has anybody on here ever been out there this year...was just wondering if there is anything you all wish you would have brought with you's...the four of us have never been out were more of a soft water crowd but were didicated to give the hard water a shot this year...so if you've been and have forgot things or wish you would have had them when you got there maybe you can help out...we want to be prepared and have a good Tyme so any and all help will be appreciated...post some pics too if you have them haven't seen the ice bungalows (not great pics on there site) fully and would love to know what were up against...thanks again!

Thanks for finding that Wayne..in addition don't forget extra paper towels and a couple of tea towels for drying your dishes/pots, one of the few things we were expected to bring. They still have the nice wood burning stoves, we're going to bring a little extra dry hardwood, good for cooking up some lunch out in the hut. Maybe a good lantern/flashlight for lighting up the hut in the early morning/late afternoon. We're going next weekend, hopefully get a bunch of pics to post.

New owners thia year and I think the first time there are bungalows offered through them. Heading up on Monday night for a few days and we choose to stay in one of their accommodation units then head out to the hut in the morning. Fishing wasn't that good last year, but have done well the previous years. Hope we have some good news for you when we get back.

Used to fish there all the time back when Ross owned it, always had a good time.

Just had a quick peak at their website out of curiosity and there's a bunch of pic's of Ben Beattie in their ice fishing photo gallery from Jan/07.

(Must still be good. )

I also fished there with Ross(early to mid 80's). Good perch fishing in 35' each year. First year was a good deal. 2nd year he shafted us. We where charged the same rate as those in full cottages when we were put in the Doghouse(outhouse + no bedrooms). Ross & Betty shafted us on that trip & we never returned.

Fished it way back when ross was the owner also. Fishing was great. We targeted whities and did really well everytime.
