Friends with float planes are about the best friends someone could have

My buddy Cam and cottage neighbor, recently got his pilot's license, and float rating.

 

He showed up at the cottage with a Cessna 172, in Deep Bay (Gull Lake, Haliburton), and took me up for a cruise

Although being a new pilot, he seemed competent and confident, and I didn't feel nervous

we also checked out some lakes we don't want to mention

 

I have a feeling we might hit a few back lake bass next season

the only boat I remember seeing, was a large aluminum fishing boat (I didn't catch the make), it caught my attention because of the cool camo pattern paint job, you guys?

Nice Chris! Most won't even let you chip in for fuel... "because they're going there anyways". It's the way I operate and just happy to be airborne or on a back lake. Does the Lake St. John Flying club let them tie a canoe on?... or are you going to be looking at using cache boat lakes?

very nice Chris, that beach looks familiar ... (Miners Bay ?)

 

a friend of mine took me on a flight over Algonquin Park a few years ago, photographed a few secret lakes as well ...

 

that's the launch at Deep Bay

I was thinking of using cached boats and caching 1 or 2 this winter via snowmobile
