August 9 2008
The young man that works for us has hurt himself. Many of you know him as junior but, his name is Jean La Roche. Hi has injured his foot while riding a four wheeler. He had cut the top of his foot and required five stitches to close the wound. He called us to let us know of his situation and to tell us that he has found a local young man to fill his position. The fellows name is Jean Luc Rochon. He started on Wednesday last week and has been doing just a great job. We know Jean Luc’s grandfather as he has been our electrician for twenty years. We don’t know is junior will be coming back before he will be going to collage. Now more about our weather RAIN!!!! It seems that we just get enough sun to make the grass grow so we can cut it. The next thing it rains again. The only good thing is that the fish don’t care. I caught an 18 inch in front of the camp two days ago.

Camp update
July 24, 2008
During the past few weeks it seemed that everything that could go wrong did go wrong! Our garden tractor broke down. The backhoe tractor got some bed fuel. The furnace for the chalet would not start. The water pump quit working so we could not wash our boats. So you can just imagine that I have been VERY busy. Now I want to talk about the slot limit for our walleyes. Many customers have been asking does this limit work? What they mean is, can any one prove that returning the slot fish help the fishery and how long will this mandate toke to show an improvement really helps. I just read that Switzerland has mandated that catch and release will be illegal. That means that you must KILL each fish that you catch. Does that seem harsh; will that same thing was proposed for our lake. That was discussed at a meeting with the M,N.R. We had a few of the old timers that were fishing the way that they have been for thirty years. That means that they were fishing the same spots (mid day) they ALWAYS caught fish. As they were docking their boat I caught a 30 inch walleye within fifty feet of their dock. The comment was we never caught fish there.

Fiahing Update
July, 5, 2008
Again but we have been VERY busy. Rain, rain go away, during the past two weeks we had had three days with out RAIN! The fish don’t seem to mind and our guests have been doing vary well. We have seen 6 or 7 walleyes over 4 pounds and one weighted 6 lbs 15 oz. We have reports of 10 to 12 lbs Pike being caught and released. Our fishermen have caught and released MANY walleyes in the slot limit. Yesterday we had a 3 lb 15 oz largemouth bass caught and released at our dock. The walleyes are on the edge of the weeds, and those people who fish with worms are doing very well. During the Canada day week end we had been having a problem with a group of water skiers who have NO REGARD for our customers who were fishing. They would start towing the skier from the dock and cut right in front of the people fishing. I sew this and I hope I made my point when I called the person driving the boas and idiot! I am not sure that he even understood that what he did was wrong dangerous and also very illegal. Should this stupid practice, continue I will report this jerk to the O.P.P. That’s all I have for now and I will try to keep you posted soon.

Flat screen broke!!
June 15, 2008
Sorry for the delay, but my flat screen monitor went down. It was under warranty, but it took four tries to replace it. That meant that I had to wait to post my journal. We had an 11 year old catch his first walleye but, it was 22 inches long and had to be put back. I did get a photo and it will post it on our web site. A new customer from Niagara Falls caught and released a 12 pound pike. Many of our customers are reporting that many of the walleyes are in the slot size and were released. As of this date we have two walleyes over the slot size and weighted over four pounds. The weather has been to say the least WET. The water level has risen about two inches do to the heavy rain. We had a black out last week do to a thunder storm. The outage lasted about seven hours. Some great news we have dragon flies and that means no more black flies. The walleye fishing had started about two weeks ago and seems to be what we expect in the past. The walleye fishing should be in the 8 to 9 foot range until mid August and perhaps on into September. Oh ya, we do still the Canadian national bird the mosquito!!!

Opening Weekend
May 20, 2008
The weather of our opening weekend was terrible! We had rain, rain, and snow! The wind was out of the north so the morning temperatures were + 2 all the way to + 3! The only good thing was that the water level has stabilized and we do not have any docks under water. Even with the bad weather and wind the fishing was fair to good. As expected the pike fishing was good. The walleye fishing was good for those groups that fished with WORMS! We had reports of four or five fish that were released because they were over the slot limit of 23 ¾ inches. It would seem that our walleye will fishery will be in find shape for this year. From what I can tell the weed growth has started and our weed line fishing will stay the same as previous years. I will post another journal to further update you on our fishery. We looking forward to the coming year.

We are open!
May 16 2008
Well the water is “a bit” high. We have five boats in the water four and one spare. The water is only 5 ½ inches above normal. Right now we have a bit of water in the boathouse and only one dock is flush with the water level. I have put the NOW WAKE jugs out and I hope that the boaters under stand just what the jugs are for. As many of you know I don’t think much of the “BOATING SAFETY CARD” The problem is that one does not have to have EVAR been in a boat. How nuts is that. WHAT I MEAN IS THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT GIVE YOU A MOTORCYCLE LICENCE WITH OUT A RIDERS TEST! I have seen people with a save boating card that have NEVER been in a boat. Come-on you can take this test on line just give them you credit card number and you have a SAFE BOATING card. Well I don’t have a safe boating card but whom of you out there has been at the wheel of a DISTROYER! And I did that when I was twenty years old. That’s enough of my rant. My next blog will be next week.

Two Weeks To Go
May 3, 2008
All the cabins have been cleaned. The weather this week is expected to be above freezing so we put the water on all the cabins. The front dock has been straightened. We still must fix dock #10 at the top pf the crib. All the motors are ready except one that had a throttle problem. That motor is at the dealer to be repaired. The past two days we have had solid rain and everything is water logged. We have cut the front grass twice but the back lawn is just way to wet. I checked the fiberglass on the boats and there is some minor repaired required. As best I can tell the “powers” are holding the water back in the lake. “They” told us that on May 21 the lake was at + 9.5 in inches and the river was at + 20.9. Then “they” tell us that on May 28 the Lake is at + 5.9 and the river is at +5.12 inches. That means that “they” are holding the lake water back to prevent too much flow in the French river to protect the fish spawn.

The Ice is gone!
The cleaning crew has cleaned cabins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11. There is still ice under cabins 4, 5, and 6. That means that I cannot turn on the water. So in the meantime the crew has to carry the water. The ground around these cabins has risen up due the frost. The stairs on #5 & 6 are not touching the ground this is a usual occurrence in the spring. I looked ahead and on Sunday the temp. is expected to drop to 28 f. The first loon was sited on April 21. On April 22 there was slush ice in front of our place. With a bit of a breeze, the slush was pushed to the west shore. At about 6.30 that evening the ice was gone. I plan to put my boat in the water this week. Then I must check to see that the five rocks are marked. Judy has notified the people on Musky Island that the ice is gone and that they can get to their cabins.

More Signs of Spring
More signs of spring. There is water under the Bridge in Lavigne. That’s the good news but there were also Cormorants there. These birds eat their weight in bait fish per day. They seem to stay on the main lake because the main lake is shallow. We don’t have too many on the west arm because the lake here is much deeper. As I drove through Lavigne there were two Turkey Vultures souring over head. The Government tells us that the lake is + 11 inches and the French River is + 21.65 inches high. That tells me that the controlling of the lake level seems to be on track. Again that depends on the snow melt north of here. Some other signs that the ice is melting fast is that there is open water around the dock cribs. We still have 4 to 6 inches of ice in the parking area and in the back yard as of April 14 th. There is a lot of ice under cabins 4, 5, and 6. That means that I cannot turn the water on to those cabins. Our cleaning crew is coming on April 18th and they will have to carry water until I can turn the water on to those cabins. In the past I tried to put the water on too early and froze the shower valve in cabin 5! Our little store will be cleaned and items priced and replaced on there shelves. That will also happen on April 18 th. As of April 18, 2008 the lake ice is looking grey. That tell me that is will not be long before the ice will be gone.

From My Chair
April 10, 2008
As I sit here watching the evening news waiting for spring to start I thing about all the wildlife I have seen from my chair. Most guys have a there chairs in front of the T.V. Well from my chair I can see the lake as well as the area in front of cabins #2, #3, and #11. On the land I have seen flying squirrels, red squirrels, and chipmunks. Twice a fox came along. In the spring the snow shoe male rabbit is chasing the female for guess what. Morning doves and partridges ravens and crows. The ravens are the only ones that stay here all winter. The only way to tell the difference is that ravens will sore when flying and crows do not sore. I have seen weasels in the summer coat and in the winter coat, all white with a black tip on the tail (ermines). On the lake, the great blue Herron will stand on the dock to hunt for small fish. When the lake ice is starting to melt the flock of common Mergansers and dive from the ice into open water to fish. I believe that they stay here while they are on their way north. I saw an Osprey hit the water and grab a fish. In the fall the there may be hundreds of common Golden Eyes appear on their way south. Beavers are fairly common and the beaver may be well liked by many but, in the north not so much. There is a beaver pond that will cause our road to flood in the spring. A beaver dropped an aspen tree near to cabin #1. That tree landed on the roof of the cabin. Other critters that I have seen from my chair are raccoons. They don’t do any damage like beavers but, they like to get into the trash cans and make a mess.

Spring?
April 4, 2008
The weather up here has been to say the least terrible. On Wednesday we had a rain storm, followed by driving snow, and then all the standing water froze. The farm fields look like huge skating rinks. This would be a great time for the NHL to have an outdoor game. At Lucky Strike the back lawn and the parking lot are all ice. We are planning to have junior come this Saturday to assemble the five new propane grills. Then he will start changing the oil on the garden tractor, lawn mower and the snow blower. Each will need new spark plugs as well as the chain saw and the string trimmer. If the time allows I will have him start on the outboards. We hope to open up the cabins by the middle of April. What we need is for the weather to warm up to melt all the snow that we have. A good sign, on April 3 I saw flock of geese heading south. I hope they know what they are doing. I went to town today and saw a hock and two sea gulls. These signs tell me that perhaps we can get the cleaning crews into cabins soon. One more thing I saw a robin on the part of the front lawn that is not frozen.

Around Camp
Around Camp March 26, 2008
We have been repairing our propane grill for the last five years. Canadian Tire has sale on grills. We had two of these grills last year and our customers just loved them. So I went to town and bought five more. When junior starts to work in April assembling them will be one of his first jobs. His next job will be to work on our outboard motors. He will install new spark plugs and fill the lower units with oil. I always drain the lower units in the fall and if the oil looks “milky” that means that there is a seal leak. I only had one motor that had to have new seals last year. Junior will also pull the props off to check for any fishing line that could be wound around the prop. The only other this that he will do is clean and wax the motor cover.
I am still working on my R.C. boat model. I need to finish it soon as it will be time to start to open cabins for the clearing crew to do their jobs.
Judy is in Tennessee to visit the grand kids. My son-in law Mark was transferred there about three years ago. Our daughter Katie likes Tenn. because they have no snow to speak of. Where did we go wrong?

March,24 2008
I fish for walleyes with floating jig heads. One of the things that I do is to sharpen the hooks on the jigs. I have a battery powered hook hone. I find time this time of year to check all my jigs and sharpen the hooks. I will also use a floating spinner rig. Again now is the time to check the hooks and sharpen if required.
Now is the time that I turn to the fishing poles. I check all the eyelets for any nicks and replace if necessary. When I check the eyelets I look at the bindings and if they look a bit frayed I apply a bit of clear nail polish to stop the fraying. When I assemble a two piece rod I rub the male end along side of my nose. I learned from an old friend that area of your nose has a bit of oil that will prevent binding when you take apart your rod. The rod that I plan to use for the spinner, I tie a “Sampo” ball bearing snap swivel. I have learned that you must use a ball bearing swivel because spinners will twist your line if you use a cheap swivel. One other thing that I check is my landing net. I look for is any area that needs to be repaired. If the net is too bad I go to my local tackle shop and buy replacement netting. Many of our customers bring their own trolling motors. Now is the time to check your deep cycle battery. Make sure that if the battery needs water you use distilled water. You should charge with an automatic charger and at 2 amp charge.

Fishing Line
March 22, 2008
While watching the hockey game I decided to clean and restring our fishing reels. I use open faced spinning and Judy uses a closed face reel. For the open faced reels I remove the spool and clean the shaft and apply 3 in 1 oil to the shaft. I then remove the handle and side plate. That exposes the internal gears. I apply white grease and put the side plate and the handle back. For the closed face reel, I remove the front cover and clean the gears and replace the cover.
As for re stringing, we have been using “Ande” 6# test (green). Last year I tried the Berkley “Vanish” a fluorocarbon (clear). “They” tell me that fish cannot see the “Vanish” line well, how do “They” know that?
When I restring the reels I remove a good portion of the old line and tie on the new line. I identify the knot with a dab of red nail polish. This tells me during the season that I may be close to the knot. I am very careful to have the new line wind on the reel the same way as the old line. I use a simple line winder gadget that allows me to control how the line goes oh the reel. This will prevent the line twist that will occur if the line is put on backwards.

Water Level
March 15, 2008
The lake is still frozen, and the published lake water level is 195.13 cm. (+15.7in) and the French level is 181.90 cm. (+21.3in). The water level when the ice melts is important to the spring level. There are 23 dams that allow the spring run off to enter the lake. There are only two dams to let water out of the lake. Depending how much snow melt there is in those areas will determine how much the lake will rise. When Lake Nipissing is lowered by .39 inches in 24 hours, the French River will rise by 18 ¾ inches. The point is that it is not an easy task to lower the lake level. The mandate for controlling these dams varies from Ontario power Generation to the Ministry of Natural Resources.
Our Walleye and Pike season opens on May 17 this year. The water temperature determines how well the fishing will be when we open. The lake water temperature is dependant on the ice melt and the influence of the water coming into the lake from those 23 dams.
My experience tells me that the walleye fishing may be poor when we open due to the cold water. Pike on the other hand should be good, but one must use live bait under a bobber.
Speaking of Northern Pike, the size limits are as follows, not more then two greater then 61cm (24 in), of which not more then 1 is greater than 86cm.(33.9 in). This is a NEW regulation and different from last year. This seems confusing to me but, that’s what the Ministry of Natural Resources has published.

This will be my first attempt to enter a blog. The weather here is bright and sunny.The temperature is 0 c and we expect about 2 to 5 cm. of snow today. I have been working on a model of a fishing trawler. The model will be radio controlled and powered by a 4.8 vdc motor.
