Freshtrax Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) Time again for the annual fishing trip. One problem, one of the OG members moved to New Brunswick. He was going to fly out and ride up. Then he got a new job and he was out. Then he was back in again, said boss was cool with it. 2 weeks out we all get the message he can't make it. What to do... I have a few maniac fishing buddies who may be able to drop what they are doing and leave for a 10 day trip at a week's notice so I start calling. The first one I called was a strike out but provided a promising lead. Chuckenwind from the board here. We had camped and fished once previous for a few days for some lost Aurora trout in a snowstorm , he seemed possibly just crazy enough. I Sent him a message explaining the trip and his reply was " crossing Nipigon in a 14 ft boat sounds like an adventure, I'm in " *I in no way reccomend doing this* Almost died on the way up, came over a knoll in the road and big dumb Moose was standing in the road. Put the binders on as hard as i could and steered off the road and arround him at 50kmh close enough to hear his hoves on the ashphalt. Not so much fun loaded down with gear and a 20 ft boat attached to the bumper. Fishing was tougher than years prior for Brookies and Pike for us but 10 lb lakers in 10 -20 fow were in unlimited supply as usual and a blast on light tackle . Had a great trip with Some old friends and my Dad. Was weird with no campfires allot less whisky was drank but did have to do a beer run mid week with the warmer weather we were all thirsty. Enough talking here's some of the better fish and scenery. Till next year! Edited June 23, 2023 by Freshtrax 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcreekdad Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Curious...does the no fire thing mean no fish cooking? That would be tough to take. Regardless...great post and looks like a wonderful trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless...great post and looks like a wonderful trip! As far as I know, even though there is a fire ban you can still use a camp stove...gas or liquid fuel. I think the rule is ...as long as what you use has a valve to turn it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Enwinde Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Thanks again for having me along. That was awesome. We fried up some walleyes on the Coleman stove. Not many eyes in the area we were camped but we had a tip from a board member about a spot nearby that had them. 40km round trip is considered nearby on Nipigon lol. Trip of a lifetime to be sure and grateful to experience it with some very capable boat captains and great guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea we got 3 flat days to run about we usualy only get 2 When its choppy we put the smaller Boat in the big boats wake and go slow. But usually just tuck in out of the wind not much you can do on that lake. Edited June 29, 2023 by Freshtrax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
