Lost Island Lodge is a great choice if you are looking at Lac Seul. If you are wanting to go in June, better hurry and book. It may be to late already.

The lake trout are biting. White tube did the trick. Trips still available.

There is no comparison with a straight blade vs a v plow, the v plow is twice the blade.

The lake conditions are not favorable currently in most areas. The deep snow earlier created lots of slush and with the past warm up, more slush is showing up. Travel with caution. If heading out travel light and carry the proper equipment in case you get in a situation. This is a picture from yesterday.

I have the same issue different times. There is no real pattern at all. Multiple times on forum with no issue or even months, then I will have it every time I use the forum for a few days. Funny thing is even I do not change any settings, it will resolve the issue itself.....until the next episode.

My understanding would be that it is legal if all fish are immediately released, especially since the warden checked this guy and let him continue fishing when he already had kept his limit. That being said though, this is probably one of those things that is all up to the wardens interpretation. I wish I had a better answer. It is a shame with everything surrounding this fish, party fishing is illegal, but most everyone does it. It will be interesting to see how things end up.

Honestly, I can't even imagine. Any measurements?

There was a time that 2 trout per day was allowed, but that was at least 10+ years ago. If they were keeping 2 per day in recent years, they were bending the rules or did not know better. I guess he figured it best to tell the truth than possibly get caught later and be in even more trouble. Not good to put that much information online and interviews with the newspapers and then try to change the story after the fact when CO's start questioning you.

Hopefully Xplorer knew about the the 1 per day/ 2 total possession if he was fishing those areas. That rule has been in place for at least 10+ years. If not, he obviously was never checked by the CO's. I would recommend picking up a regulation book once in a while or inquiring about limits when purchasing a license. The crappie have been very sporatic. Get them one day and then nothing for the next time.

check again?

I agree that the no party fishing seems nit picky, it gets done more times than not and is never an issue. Unfortunately this has gotten lots of publicity and is an issue that most likely will not go away. I do not understand the out of province residents being treated the same Ontario residents for fishing licenses. They are treated as non residents when it comes to hunting. You think it would be the same for hunting and fishing.

If you go with the law, it does not matter where his nephew was. Party fishing is illegal. He kept the fish earlier in the day under his limit and kept the monster later on. He went over his daily possession limit. The non Canadian resident license means anyone who is not residing in Canada. It is not regarding Canadian citizenship. Canadian residents can buy an Ontario resident fishing license. The non Canadian resident license is for anyone not residing in Canada and would be the exact license he had purchased.

The regs for zone 5 if you are fishing in the Border Waters area (Rainy River District such as Pipestone, Clearwater West, White Otter, LLC) for non residents are a daily possession of 1 trout and total possession of 2 trout with a sportfishing license. Conservation license is 1 trout total possession. This is an odd situation. Lots of people party fish even though it is not legal. Feel bad for him, but he did break the law.

There is lots of snow with only a couple inches of slush. The snow is very deep and travel with sleighs is not good right now. Still snowing and drifting right now. Fishing was slow this morning, but a couple trout were landed.

There is lots of snow on the lakes and in the bush with more wet heavy falling right now. Talked with the local CO today and he was just up Pipestone, he said there is lots of slush coming up. He also said the other wardens were finding slush on most all the lakes they have been patrollingt he last couple days. I am heading up tommorrow fishing and will try to post another report.

Conditions are excellent right now for travelling to out lakes and we have our road plowed for guests staying at our cabins on Off Lake.

Had a great day trip to Kairskons Lake with a group today. I landed 5 trout, lost a couple, missed a few more, and had lots of chasers. Best luck was in 22 FOW on a glow tube. Everyone else had action too. Great to be on the ice and conditions are great! We still have openings this season.

The lakes have all froze over in the area. Current temp is -24F. We have some slush on the lakes currently from the last snow fall, but nothing too bad. With the temps and time before the Jan 1 opener, we should be set for good conditions and travel. We still have some January trips available for those who are interested in some great lake trout fishing.

5" of ice, we are off to a good start and only a little snow out there so far.

I think we could fit most of what you are looking for at our Off Lake location. We have good crappie, decent walleye, and excellent lake trout available. Fish multiple lakes and species all with short snowmobile ride right from the cabin. I also have a road plowed on Off Lake depending on conditions from the cabin. The cabins are electice heat and have running water in the winter. It is just a small resort with very good walleye fishing in the summer and a relaxed atmosphere. We will do our best to get you on the fish. Give me a call and I can fill you in on all the details. And thanks to those recommending our operation.

The water temps are dropping and we will start seeing some ice forming in the ponds and along the shorelines soon. Be sure to test yor gear and get your sleds serviced before the season is upon us.
