Well the Record Was Broken!!!!

We have had some extremely hot weather in Northern Ontario. On May 24th it reached at least 90 F and yesterday May 25th our thermometer read out a whopping 100 F during the day and at about 6 p.m. it read 120 F once the sun came around and was shining on the thermometer.

What a difference from last year it was snowing and we actually had snow storm conditions here at the lodge. The Brown party with all of their kids usually come in opening weekend which was around May 15th and for the last two years they have had to deal with snow, snow, snow, but this year it was sun, sun and more sun. A quote from Russ Brown 'I would rather have the snow, this weather is to hot'.

May 2009

Even though we have low water and hot weather the upside of all this is that the FISHING HAS BEEN FANTASTIC. It's pretty bad when our guests are complaining about catching two many fish, we always love complaints like that.

We will be posting more pictures so keep in touch

I STAND TO BE CORRECTED ON MY LAST POST.....WINTER IS BACK

Well we thought Mother Nature was going to give us a break this year on an early spring. I guess she really is full of surprises. We are experiencing a major snow storm here in Wawa. We are expected to get at least 5 - 10 cm of the white stuff. Highway 17 between Sault Ste. Marie and Wawa has been closed since lunch time due to poor visibility from white out conditions and three tractor trailers jackknifed on the highway. But do not fret good news is that it is all suppose to clear by morning and Spring is suppose to reappear. Most of the rivers and lakes up north near Pine Portage are almost opened with just a little ice on them. Wawa Lake is almost ice free with the remainder being more like 'Honeycomb ice' which with a little help from the wind will be gone in a couple of days. I will try and post some pictures for your viewing tomorrow. So keep in touch!!!

There was no snow left on the Portage trail behind camp until Thursday's snow storm

Had to break a little ice coming in on Pine Portage Lake located at the back of the Lodge

In this photo below, two Otters had come up the hole in the ice on the Oba River near Pine Portage with a Perch, they got scared and left their catch on the ice, but I am sure they came back for it or the Ravens got it

The bay in front of Pine Portage is opened but there is still quite a bit of ice at 1st gap and on the main lake area

DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR FISHING VACATION BOOKED FOR 2010. WE STILL HAVE SOME SPACES AVAILABLE.
