This picture was taken at Metionga Lake and there is no better lake in my opinion for walleye unless you include Flindt Lake, Seseganaga Lake, Kawaweogamama Lake, Tri Lake and Hilltop Lake.
Legend has it that there is gold at the end of the rainbow. I guess in a way it is true.
For those who don’t speak French, the French word for walleye is “doré” and “doré” also happens to be the French word for golden.
Simple logic dictates then that there certainly is gold at the end of the rainbow.
I have to think my kids grew up in a virtual paradise. Not much use for video games and TV in our house. If the activity was worth doing, it was usually done outside.
I came across this photo the other day of me and my son Mike. This picture was taken 20 years ago this summer. He is married and lives in another town now but still likes to fish with his dad. We are planning a father son get away in a few weeks. Believe me every moment with your kids is worth the time. Quality time in a boat is priceless. Rain or shine, cold or warm, wet or dry, the memories last a life time.
Take your kids fishing, you’ll both value it.
Over the years we’ve added a few luxuries to our cabins. Hot and cold running water allow for a nice hot shower. Some guys however prefer the grin and bare it method of bathing.
Even if I lost a bet, I wouldn’t voluntarily get into the waters around here early in the season.
On Sat morning at the early hour of 6AM I was interviewed on ESPN Radio 1000: Chauncey's Great Outdoors as a part of Ontario’s Ministry of Tourism promotion.
The interview was about 10 minutes long and comes in just after the 10 minute mark.

The show is hosted by Chauncey Niziol on Saturdays 6:00 a.m. - 7:00 a.m.

I’ve been asked several times to post about some of the history of Ignace Airways and Ignace Outposts. Here is one of hopefully many trips down memory lane.
When we arrived in Ignace 24 years ago, we were not only welcomed by some the best fishing in the country but we also inherited an unique piece of history. This little vehicle was affectionately called “doc buggy”. It’s life mission was to transport gear from the parking lot to the aircraft. It was a cut off 1965 Ford Econoline Pickup truck. It was not a van - never was.
According to local lore, it was purchased new by a previous owner of Ignace Airways and met up with a moose on the highway shortly after being purchased. Of course it did not fair well in the collision. Rather than scrap the buggy, the cab was cut off and it became a great convenience to move gear up and down the dock. The back end could carry as much as an Otter and it was low enough to fit under the wing of a Cessna.
We kept the little buggy going for about 10 years (til the mid 90s) when after about a 30 year career it was retired.
Many of our long time guests fondly remember loading their gear into “Doc Buggy” before and after their trip to one of our fine fishing lakes.
“Doc Buggy” may be retired but it's role in providing assistance to our fisher and hunter guests is still almost legendary.
Over the last few years, I have received many emails regarding this monster northern.
All kinds of places have been claiming this fish from

I suppose there will be a run on the Perch Pattern Super Shad Rap now.
I guess we can only keep trying.
