Once again we have had just enough time to get all of the camps opened in time for our fishermen to enjoy the north.  We did reschedule a few parties to other dates but not many.  Once spring decided to show up, it turned to summer.  Perfect weather for opening camps!  The temperatures have been very warm and so far the bugs have not been around yet, lets hope it stays dry and it will keep them low all summer.  We had a big crew to open camps, 4 dockhands, Rena’s brother Mark, and myself.  We worked long days and opened 10 camps in 6 days and everything was done, windows washed, fire pits shovelled, wood cut, cabins cleaned, dockboards changed and motors tested.  We finished the rest of the camps as we could find time in between hauling the first fishermen to the bush.  As of this weekend we will be right full.  Fishermen scattered all around the north country, catching fish and having fun.

We have had only 3 groups of fishermen return from the bush with mixed reports.   It sounds like the walleyes are spawning right now so the walleye bite has been a little slow.  Northerns on the other hand have spawned and are getting more aggressive everyday!

Here are a few pictures from Findlay lake.  The Berger Boys and a newbie Taylor returned to fish Findlay again after fishing many of our other lakes since 2001.  Here are some pictures from our camp opening and the trip to Findlay.
