Lake Onaping This Weekend

[express168]

Well I was originally going to the Gogama or Shining Tree area this weekend but that trip fell through. I am hooking up with some other friends and heading to Lake Onaping a little north of Sudbury this weekend. We are staying at Northwoods Lodge , if anybody has fished Onaping before I would appreciate any advice or tips as this is a first for us. Thanks for any info and I will post a report when I get back.

only advice i have for you is to call the lodge before you leave, mnr is currently evacuating all camps on onaping due to a forest fire in the area, started yesterday afternoon near halway lake park, crossed the highway (was closed for a while) and was quickly heading to onaping, last report on the news at 6PM was that all campers are forced to leave the area, with the high winds of today and yesterday they say it'll be awhile before they have it under control, supposed to rain tonight so that may help

Addy79 , sorry we detoured to Port Loring because of the forest fires. The lodge we were staying with was evacuated the day before we were supposed to go.
