O'sullivan Lake

[rob v]

Just a quick report and thanks to solo-paddler for recommending this drive to camp.

 

My wife and I just returned from a week at O'sullivan's lake. After our 1500km drive (but it was worth it) We stayed at the O'sullivan's rainbow camp. The camp was great. Camp owners Bob & Shelly Richards and their staff were very accommodating. The camp and cabins were functional, clean and had everything we needed, yet it was quaint enough to fit into the remoteness of O'sullivan Lake.

 

The lake is large - and during my stay I only got to explore about a third of the lake - mainly because I found all the fishing spots I needed, and I preferred to fish vs explore. Walleye fishing was fantastic. I caught more than enough walleye I to satisfy me. Other anglers at the camp pursued lake trout and pike, and a short trip into a back lake in the area by one of my camp neighbours resulted in limits of brook and rainbow trout. Loons and eagles entertained us during our stay (never missed the phone, internet or tv !!).

 

All in all a fantastic trip and we very much look forward to returning. And again - thanks to Mike for putting us onto this lake and Camp.

Ya it is a nice place. That is where we use to stay when I went Moose hunting with the boys. You didn't have to go much further than the mouth of the river to catch walleyes. Even though the Lakers were out of season at the time of year we went, I caught many incidentals while fishing for walleye. Now this is going back long before digital cameras were invented. Do they still run off a diesel generator?

 

Cheers, Ron...

Yes they do Ron - but the sound is hardly noticeable.

I don't know that any of us do when we get away to a piece of paradise. Looks like a great place, thanks for the report.
