Where is this?

Close enough Mike. It is on the French River system heading down to the French River Delta.

Is there anywhere you haven't been?

 

No. :D

 

I've launched at Hartley Bay and occasionaly Danny's Marina on the Pickeral many times over the years.

 

Always make the run down the western channel of the French to Georgian Bay

and what they call the Bad River.

 

Fantastic area, one of my favourites.

 

Your pic's looked mightily familiar.

 

So the question begs, if that's where you went how'd you make out?

I went two years in a row and stayed at Leon's place right at the mouth. The first year was good. We caught a few nice sized walleye, some nice pike and a few muskie. The next year wasn't so good. We struggled to get any walleye and most of the pike were small. An amazingly beautiful place, but we decided to try a new location for the next spring trip.

Here are a few pics from those trips.

on my to-do list.. need someone to get me down there safely.

 

i guess out the key and up is the safer bet.

 

 

I'd be happy to tag along and show you around. ;)

 

Seriously though it's difficult but not that difficult to navigate down there. Especially so if you had explicit directions and instructions along with a detailed map.

 

While I've seen it done, personally I would never navigate down through those rapids with a console. A tiller is an absolute must to make the sharp precise turns necessary in the current.
