We are at the time of the season where Muskie fishing is at it’s best!  The late spring and cool summer have helped to keep the lake temps below average which is keeping a lot of BIG fish hanging around in shallower waters.

Keep and eye open here for more reports soon as we have a full camp of extremely great fisherman ...

Just a quick report…

The weeds are exploding in 12-16 feet of water now as the surface temps are in the low 70’s.  I fished nothing connected to shore the other day and focused our efforts on all main lake reefs and found the BIG girls just lounging around out there.  We saw 11 put one in the net and should have had three that day… that’s fishing!   The interesting thing was that it was 71 degrees down to 18 ft and 60 ...

..especially on Rowan Lake.

Congrats to Dan  on this 49″ inch beautiful Rowan lake Muskie that he boated on the last day of his trip to Rowan lake.  Dan was spending his fishing trip with his Dad Joe.

Bob Blake dialed in on a nice pike and Jason captured an awesome Rowan Lake sunset off our deck recently.

Water levels continue to drop, but we are still high for this time of the summer.  Lake surface temps continue to rise and are getting in the upper 60’s and low 70’s on sunny days.  Still cool for this time in July especially compared to the last two years where we were pushing 80 degree temps.  The weedy bays have good weed growth and the deeper water cabbage tips are starting to show up.  The high water has definitely impeded ...

Spending five months out of the year on a wilderness island is about as good as it gets!

Running a remote lodge has lot’s of challenges and so many great rewards and it seems we always have a list of projects to do around camp.  This year is no different as we really needed to replace the shop floor down at the docks and the log boat ramps needed replacing.  We try to squeeze these projects in when everyone is out ...

Lake trout, walleye and bass fishing remain strong. Water levels are dropping and the surface temps are rising.  Despite the cool spring and summer fishing has been good.  The Weeds are starting to grow in all the regular spots and fish continue to show up in the weeds and on the rocks.  We had some pretty nice muskies caught and released over the past few weeks as you can tell from the release sheets and pics posted below.

Congratulations to all our muskie fisherman ...

It is National Fishing Week – from July 5th to July 13th – when Canadian anglers can fish licence free throughout Ontario, as well as participate in hundreds of community events celebrating the fact that we live in the greatest country on earth, with the most unbelievable fishing opportunities.

The opener was quite different this past opening weekend.  The water level is very high and the surface temps were quite cool in the low 60’s.   We caught big fish on reefs when it was cloudy and now the sun is finally out and the temps are risking nicely which should even make the fishing better.

Yesterday a guest of ours who never been fishing for muskies caught a 50″ on a rattle trap.  It was a giant not spawned yet.  Silvia ...
