Bounce Lake - Cochrane Air Service

[fishdawg]

Very close to pulling the trigger on a mid August trip with the family (wife, son 13, daughter 6.5)  to Bounce lake with Cochrane air service 

Not looking for fishing tips just yet, but any suggestions /advice before we put a deposit down? Spoke with one of their guys for 15 minutes and feel good about it

I heard good things about them but check out this guy - https://www.canadafishingguide.net/

He seems to have the in on where to go and what to expect.  I used him on my last two trips and they were excellent

One of their planes crashed a while ago

They were alright,  lots of walleye to catch at the lake I went to 

But they did advertise 10 pound plus walleye.  When we were waiting for our plane we saw a book of trophies for each lake, it was a photo album we were very disappointed to not see a single photo of a fish over 6 lbs when they said 10 lbs plus.     But other then that it was a good trip

For about an extra $100PP.... if these guys are open and you're willing to drive a little farther, this is a fly-in pike and walleye tour I'd do.  Lake has a lot of bigger than average eyes.

Awesome - I took a look at the Bounce Lake website  - nice new cabin and the fact that it seems booked solid is a good sign I would guess

Enjoy - I know our first fly in was magical and I am sure you and your family will love it

Amazing! I have never done a fly-in so have zero tips but I trust you will have a memorable experience! Congrats on this "family time" investment. If my wife even was remotely interested in fishing I would love to do something like this...but she isn't (which is weird because she sure seemed interested when we were just dating!)

It's kinda funny Roger, my wife won't fish much at all here locally but loves to whenever we head north.

Fished Snare Lake... think it was around 05?  And went in mid summer.  Was actually the first fly-in softwater trip I'd ever done.  The cabin you chose looks much nicer, the lake sounds a little deeper, you're going with family and it's gonna be great.  Being a small lake with worm harnesses, jigs and few diving cranks you'll be quick to sort out what works.
