some cottage fishing stuff

[chris.brock]

I did a little exploratory work to check out a couple lakes. Here's the tools of the trade

 

 

 

My main destination lake, the trail deteriorated quickly, I thought this is good, not a lot of people getting in, got too nasty with too many blow downs, and I had to turn back

 

 

there was more of this than any signs of people

 

 

I mentioned to the owner of the local bait store that I had tried to get to this lake, he said

"oh yeah, great brookie fishing eh?"

-I couldn't make it, how did you guys get in?

"we went in from, uh, well, I can't remember" (I don't blame him at all)

"there's a big grow-op in there too, you could easily get shot or killed sniffing around there, been there for years"

 

I guess I'll try again in the winter on the sled

 

 

damn walleye!

 

 

here's my Dad in his element

 

 

we used to fish here a lot, 25+ years ago, a lot of great memories, things have changed since then, more pressure and far less angler etiquette

 

a laker on the spoon

Hey Chris always carry a small chainsaw when heading into those secret back lakes.

[limeyangler]

nice pic of your Dad. I need to get a 4x4 to haul small boats into lakes.

A days quadin' around and exploring can be just as welcome as a days fishing sometimes. Cool effort Chris... but maybe stay outta there in future, at least until after a few frosts have come and gone.

Time to buy a compact chainsaw!

Nice setup you've got there. My trucks my "quad" for now in those kinda places. If your down for a secret lake spot trade let me know. Just sayin. Not offended if you do y wana.

Yup x2 - always carry a small chainsaw on those trips. I even have a small buck saw with me at all times, in case the Husky doesn't want to start.

Love the effort on that trail .X3, on the chainsaw or a quad with a winch . Heading to one of those back lakes this weekend for the end of trout season . Hope it doesn't look like your trail !
