Karen and I were out with my brother and his wife. As Blair and I tended to the work, the girls tended to relaxing.
Oh, the joys of an outpost vacation.

Pitching in
The jobs at an outpost camp are always best shared. Working together is better than having one person do all the work.
While Karen is cleaning up some dishes, Bill is preparing his world famous Ceasar salad.
Once the prep and work part is done, everyone can sit down and enjoy the meal and evening with good conversation and a few laughs.

Take your wife fishing
August is a great time to fish. Weather is stable and the fishing is incomparable.
Taking your wife on a fly in trip with Ignace Outposts makes a great vacation. Get away from the phones and emails for a little quality time together.
Kathy and Eric spent an extra long weekend with their good friends on Hilltop Lake.
Fishing feisty walleye a current in only 6 feet of water is a good way to introduce someone to our northern fishing.

A long time coming
At the first sport show I attended 24 years ago, one of the first guests ever I booked was Craig Johnson. I was a rookie outfitter with big dreams and Craig was a rookie fisherman with dreams of big fish. It seems both our dreams have come true.
Since then Craig has made many many trips to our place, usually 2 to 3 times per year. He has brought over 100 different people to Ignace Outposts, many of whom have spawned into their own groups.
Last week Craig brought his wife (and favorite fishing partner) along with another couple to Hilltop Lake.
Craig told me that during his many trips to Ignace Outposts, he has caught more than a lifetime's worth of fish (big, small and everything in between). And he still enjoys it!
Fishing last week near the inlet on Hilltop Lake produced countless walleyes in 6 feet of water and less.
Not to be outdone, Craig's wife went fish for fish with Craig in landing old marble eyes. Double headers were common with it becoming almost a contest who could get the fish in quicker only to release it and land another.
