The ice is going at a normal rate for some of Ontario. A recent snow storm is hitting parts of NW Ontario to the south of us down to the border and east of us as far east as Thunder Bay. Red Lake is on the northern edge of it and hopefully we don’t get too […]
Spring has barged through the door and it looks like we should have a early to normal ice out this year! With the long sunny days we have had it feels like we should be already in the bush but we have a ways to go yet. The snow has pretty much disappeared and the […]
February is here and the days are noticeably longer already. We are gaining 6 minutes a day and in a month or so we should start to feel spring I hope. We had a warm spell awhile back and the ice really expanded. Sending this sheet of ice straight up 6 feet in the air. […]
Winter has a firm grasp on most of us this year. We went from a beautiful warm fall into full fledged winter! We have had very cold weather in the North and at least one snow storm a week. There has been quite a bit of snow but nothing like areas further south along the […]
Winter finally showed up! We just had our first snowstorm of the year and it looks like we have had snow for a month. Dustee is finally comfortable since the humidity has gone down and the dry snow is finally here to stay. I will be out on Lake Manitoba tomorrow to begin our commercial […]

It is down to the last stretch of our 2016 fishing season. September is here, the days are short, the leaves are changing and the geese are beginning to move. Moose hunting is 3 weeks away!! Until then we still have fishermen to come through our doors in search of the Big Fall Pike and […]
The season slips by so fast when you are busy. Just the way we like it. Our fishermen are enjoying the warm temperatures and the beauty and scenery of the North. The weather has been better which has helped the fish sort of stabilize in depth but each lake has a different fishing report. Some […]
It’s hard to believe that there is only one more week until our departure times in the morning are bumped back by the length of day to 5:30 am. Summer is going by fast! Our weather continues to be unpredictable and changes daily to hourly. One fisherman said when he came out “I went from […]
