Made it up to Kenlea Camp at "The Baril" last weekend, the weather was typical for this time of year, cold windy and wet. The fishing was good, as usual for this time of year as well.

We packed light .......

Great to have annual trips like that. I didn't know they still made Old Vienna. Used to see a lot of that at the neighbours cottage back in the late 70's early 80's.

Ahhh nice, a fellow OV drinker, there are few of us, but we are kings indeed.

 

Was up there many moons ago, camped in the inlet, know exactly where you're fishing there, boats always congregated there in the low light hours. Beautiful area.

 

If you don't mind, can you speak to the accommodations you had, always looking for a new place to go. Which cabin did you stay in? What's the place like? How far from the lodge to the river? Appreciate it.

Great report...

 

Those mink sure can catch minnows / fish...

 

We have a tank for minnows... Sometimes we put our fish in there at night to clean in the morning... One night the minks (saw the footprints) wrestled out 3 walleye from 3-5 pounds...

Gee looks like the OV shot was as popular as the fishing shots, he he he. I remember when you would get a free fishing lure with a case of OV....Thanks for the replies, glad you enjoyed them. We stayed at Kenlea Cottages, Big Guy, the cabins are nice for the fisherman/woman, and not a far (about 5 miles) to "the river".

We stayed there for years, mom and dad were a lot more practical than wives were! LOL It has been a long time for me though. It was never a fancy place, but comfortable for the intended purpose.

 

Always under powered in boats but depending on yours it isn't a long run from the camp to the river, maybe 2 miles? I did it for years in a 14 foot aluminum boat with a 5hp sabre on the back, and you could pass by a lot of good spots on the way to the river.

Great photos, thanks for posting.

 

I was up there for our annual fishing trip 2 weeks ago, we didn't have the numbers we usually do but lots of size.

 

Amazing fishery for sure...
