solopaddler Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Thank's guys! Brilliant as usual, Mike. Still on my radar, as a destination, for Juli and I. Is it just me, or do Ribes Lake walleyes have extremely large eyes? Not sure about the eyes Frank, but they're definitely different. Especially the blue/grey colored ones. It's a really unique lake despite the small size. Deepest basin is 90' and there's two others that hit 55' and 60'. I suspect the really deep water plays a role in their makeup. They're also some of the most aggressive hardest fighting walleyes I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snaggermeister Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Great report Mr. Solo. Brings back some great memories of last year when we went and of all the hog walleyes I was able to put my 7 year old son Mano on to. Glad to see that you and Joe could repeat the experience with a screen tent this time. The owner of Hawk Air was at the tip of the unfriendliness meter to put it mildly. I still get hives just thinking about the way he treated his clients. I'm happy that Park's Fly-ins offers an alternative to fly in from Chapleau Air service now. It's real real hard to get big wallies in Ribes Lake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdrifter Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Some nice fish there Mike. Some of them are black as all hell.. Makes for a pretty gnarly looking fish! I remember catching blackies like that in LOTW.. I figured they were deeper roamers but I guess it could have been simply a colour variation.. Good stuff mane. See you in the fall. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
