Golden Eagle Camp

[blizzcat]

Hi OFC'ers

 

(Due to my computer failing this is the second time writing this, so sorry if it's not as detailed as I originally planned! Hopefully everything works properly now!)

 

Just got back from Golden Eagle Camp and we had promised to post some pictures!

We had an amazing time and kudos to Bruce and Jennifer for all the hard work they put in up there!

 

During our trip there....

Fish Caught: Walleye, Smallmouth Bass, Pike

Techniques Used: Trolling with a worm harness, jigging, fly fishing with streamers, couple fish on a spinner or crank bait.

 

Now to the pictures! This should be a nice overview of our time there!

 

The cottages are really nice, it's such a welcoming environment, and good people all around!

 

We got some nice pike,

 

Also some smallies, (Josh lost a real big one when it jumped right beside the boat, but luckily another decent one came by)

 

Walleye were perfect eating size and we kept a few to fry up, (I did eventually figure out how to hold one without the net but it took a few tries and the picture is rainy lol)

 

 

 

Saw some really nice wildlife and the hunters up there nabbed some bears, this one was just grabbing a snack from a waste site!

 

^The first bear we've ever seen! Pretty cool.

 

 

Amazing views, expecially at the outpost lake Bruce took us over to.

 

 

Josh caught a few pike on the fly!

 

 

On our last day Bruce told us about a path to get down to a dam we saw earlier in the week so we took the morning to check it out and we were glad we did!

 

 

 

 

Great memories! Thanks for everything Golden Eagle!

great report! would that be Indian Chutes in the last 3 photos? I worked at Golden Eagle a few years ago and always meant to fish Indian Chutes but just never got around to it.

A great end to a very hard beginning. The photos are great, love the buck wading at the side of the water!!

Thank everyone, it was a fantastic week! and we were happy everything worked out great in the end.

 

@ Brandon

It WAS Indian Chutes! Josh and I saw and it and he was determined to get down there, after talking to Bruce and Jennifer about it we learned about a path going down. Well worth it

 

@ Jason

Thanks again Jason for the awesome tips. We really appreciated it!

Me too! We were fishing in the boat and it just walked out RIGHT in front of us. Before I got that picture I was struggling to get the camera out of the boat bag but there was actually two bucks who walked out and they fought. This guy was the victor and got to stay in the watering hole. SOO cool.

Nice pics Heather! We had a great time up there last week too, I'll be sure to get a few pics up!

 

Fishing started a little tough on the backlake, but after a couple of days we kinda had things pinned down. The outpost is definetly a place I'll return too!

That would have been amazing! Every deer we saw at Restoule was a doe, but, the way they just wander throughout the park is amazing. Congrats on some nice fish as well.

Also kudos, once again, to Golden Eagle camp for coming through for you two!

@ Headhunter

haha no we didn't go on the waterslide, it was a bit chilly and we were too busy fishing! The families that were staying there were all over it though, we saw kids playing on it a bunch!

[johnnyb]
