Marten River trip @ Beaverland Camp

[Burtess]

Spent last week up at Beaverland Camp in Marten River with a great bunch of guys. All 14 of us were accommodated in cabin #14 which has 4 bedrooms with two sets of bunks in each. It was my first time up with this bunch (some have been coming up together for decades) and I am proud to say I was voted back in for next year!

 

Fishing was decent, with the most / largest fish coming from Bruce Lake (access to McPhee was restricted due to a large beaver dam). Lots of smaller walleye just under the slot (16.9 - 23.6") made for a couple of awesome fish frys. Most of the smaller ones came on a whole nightcrawler while drifting. The large ones on plastic (love those Powerbait Rippletails in white!!)

Caught quite a few pike on soft swimbaits too, nothing too big but good for the fish fry.

Bass opened up on the last fishing day so we got into a few of them too.

 

Here are some pics:

 

 

 

 

Spotted some young moose crossing Bruce Lake, man can they ever move:

 

 

One just at top end of the slot:

 

Just over the slot at 24 1/4" :

 

A respectable bass from Saturday:

I gotta get to Bruce some day. Looks like a great trip...so far everything I've heard about beaverland has been good.

I love that general area! It's my favorite hang out spot in the whole world.

Good stuff. Marten lake is awesome and still seems to have lots of big fish.

I am going to be up this way with my son for 5 days. Leaving on Thursday. I know the area very well. Good fishing in the whole area.
