solopaddler Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 So I just got a call from Eddie, it appears as though he's aquired a new lease to open a new camp on a brand new body of water that's never been fished before. It's on Richter lake which is directly west of his Beteau camp on the Attawapiskat and just south of Lansdowne House. According to Frank Moonias the elder who's giving him the lease the lake has never been fished by natives as it's inaccessable and obviously there's never been a camp on it. It's approximately 4km long and 2km wide and has a substantial river flowing through it which appears to give you access to several more lakes both upstream and downstream. If anyone's curious here's the latitude and longitude: Degrees, Minutes, Seconds: 52° 5' 57" N 87° 53' 0" W Decimal Degrees: 52.099° N 87.884° W UTM Coordinates: 16U 439475 5772451 Topographic Map Sheet Number: 043D04 To me it's a no brainer. So anyway he's offered me Sept 3-10 to come in and check it out. If anyone is interested in joining me on this adventure shoot me a pm. I think we're looking at a minimum of four maximum of 6 people for this trip. The price will be the same as the Beteau camp. It goes without saying that if this piques your interest for a trip of your own give Eddie a ring. He'll be flying in asap in May to construct the new camp and fly in boats, motors, gas and equipment. It may be a rough camp but it'll be up and running for the 2011 season.

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 If you're still looking for people this winter i might be able to say yes. At this point it's more of a "I'd like to come" post... so, sort of pointless, but I felt the need to say something. Looks like a glorious opportunity!

fishnsled Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 If I wasn't looking at a big repair bill for the motor I'd be all over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it's easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. ) If I wasn't looking at a big repair bill for the motor I'd be all over this. Meh, it's almost a year away, you can do it!

uglyfish Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I'd totally do that.... Ya know, if my wife wouldn't divorce me for doin that. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 that's a great opportunity, untouched lakes are hard to come by, that's also an awesome area to be lucky enough to explore, looking forward to the trip reports from the first OFNer's to get in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerritt Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Well I have permission from she who must be obeyed... Now to count the pennies in the coffer.... Will let you know Mike... When do you need a deposit by? G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the spots are all filled I'll contact Eddie and we'll likely send them in then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhousesoccer Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Mike, what species of fish are in the lake?? I'm curious on the same thing. Trophy pike? If so, I'm seriously considering jumping in on the trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solopaddler Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Mike, what species of fish are in the lake?? Sorry I thought it was understood. It's walleye and pike same as the Beteau camp. I'm curious on the same thing. Trophy pike? If so, I'm seriously considering jumping in on the trip! Don't know if it's a trophy fishery or not. No one's fished it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
