John is in Metionga

Finally, after several days of bad weather, we managed to get John in to Metionga Lake.  As our camp attendant there, he will have his hands full since our first groups arrive in the morning. 

Boats need to be readied, cabins cleaned, water systems turned on, etc,etc. I am sending him some help tomorrow for a couple of days. 

It has been snowing off and on all day and flying conditions are more like late October than mid May.

Next we start working on getting Seseganaga, Hilltop and Flindt ready.  Not that I am pleased with the economic downturn, but it has given us a little more time to get cabins ready. 

Let the walleye season begin!

What happened to Spring?

Just when we thought spring was well on the way we woke up today (Sat April 26) to a major winter storm. Some areas in Northwestern Ontario have received over 30 cm (1 foot) of snow over the last 24 hours. In Ignace we ended up with mostly freezing rain and now it is snowing and drifting. With temps forecast to be lower than normal, we may be looking at ice out being delayed.

I guess we can only grin and bear it while we wait for break up...

In spite of the snow happening at the moment, we know open water and great fishing is just around the corner. If you are thinking about a Canadian Fishing trip this summer, give me a call at 807-934-2273 and we will get you set up at Ignace Outposts. See our web site for more details.
