hoosier Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Spent last week fishing in the Chapleau area with my two sons. Caught most of the fish in 5 to 15 feet of water. A simple hook and worm either on bottom or under a float produced best for us. Here are a few pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Awesome, looks like a good time was had! Did you camp at the provincial park? It looks a lot like Missinaibi... Edited August 10, 2011 by solopaddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosier Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Awesome, Missinaibi is a gorgeous lake! Any lakers? We were actually on Windermere. Very scenic and plenty of elbow room. We did not try for lakers. A few people in camp were trying but I think they got skunked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Impressive! And the boys look pretty happy too! What a great area that is. Thanks for sharing. ps. I winced when I saw the lad with his knee on the swivel seat and an open tackle box right below him. But I probably see accidents where there aren't any.

hoosier Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Nice, but BoilerUp! I was up at Dog Lake in June which I believe is in the same area. Boiler up - NEVER! But seriously hopefully IU can get back up to Purdue's level and get the rivalry back to the way it use to be with both teams being good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggersr Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Bob, Sondra and the boys are great people. Wife and I were there in June. Son and I are leaving Friday for another week of fishing and chasing bears. The wife doesn't hunt so she and I will be heading up again in Sept. We always fish grazing for walleye. While I love walleye fishing and our shore lunches, I have to admit the smallie fishing is what keeps drawing me back. One of these days I am going to target Lakers, but it always seems we are busy chasing walleye and smallmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
