Tim Mills Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I went camping a little east of Bon Echo PP last weekend. I knew the weather wasn't going to be ideal but I was running out of weekends so the dog and I went anyway. There was only 1 other site occupied that weekend. Our campsite for a couple of nights. The lake is drained for hydro in the fall so summer water levels are down 6-8ft Sandy Beach and good wind protection for the boat The fishing was decent but not as good as last fall. More pike, smaller bass and no walleye. My best pike, jigging a white grub Steady rain Friday night until Saturday noon but we stayed dry. I was hoping for better fishing but the beer was cold, the food was good, and the camping was free. The dog roughing it Some Bear tracks in the creek bank behind the campsite.

glenner Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Classic picture of your dog relaxing in the boat. My Lab does the same, gets in and goes right to sleep, doesn't even get interested when I bring a fish into the boat. Some great pictures and looks like a beautiful spot, great solitude.

Steelheadphycho Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Absolute perfection. That's exactly how I'd do it. Although, I don't think I could without my son. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bare foot wader Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 looks a great time...rain or shine my lab will lean lurched over the gunnels, intently focused on my casting, doesn't matter 4 hours or 12 hours, doesn't take too many breaks...I feel so bad not catching anything and he gives me that "look"...definitely why do you suck so much type of look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean Mike, he is 10 and really calmed down after when he turned 9, he used to be crazy but for some reason has always been good in the canoe and boat. These trips take alot out of him though, its about a 2 day recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mills Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 The pics of the pup are hilarious. I grew up fishing and camping on that lake. Very pretty spot Joey- if you know the breed, you know they are eccentric. The dog is under the table for 2 reasons, he wants to stay dry but he is also biting at rain drops as they fall off the table. It is a nice spot for 4 hours away, but I was told that there will be changes due to the recent land claims. I was told by a cottager that one side of the South Access road and Big Island were going to be lost to the land claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
