Canada Lake Finder?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, we have a trip scheduled to Dobie Lake through L&M Outfitters (out of Dryden) for the 15th-21st. It's 142 miles north/northwest/northeast (not sure) of Dryden, and I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good way to find it on a map of Ontario, so we could estimate the weather/ice conditions. Thanks for the help!

Hello, Be a pleasure meeting you hopefully soon.. We had a great day to get ice moving. Dryden was warm and sunny all day. Wabigoon is breaking up in our bay, the rest of the lake should be out in acouple of days or atleast by the weekend at the very latest. As for Dobie lake. It is up about 30 miles west of Pickle Lake. Will be alittle longer before that ice goes out up in that area however things are changing fast now. Ill keep you posted as we get closer. The good news is the cabin is near the river flowage of the lake which means many times we are able to get into Dobie's Cabin even when rest of the lake is iced up because of the river current.

Oh, didn't realize you guys had an account on here! I'm Tyler, in case you didn't realize. On that note though, from the few references you gave me, I gathered that almost all their fishing was done at the river entrance on the north side of the lake? Will we be able to get to that?

Yesterday was another good day. Much of Wabigoon went out considering the warm temps/south winds and sun most of the day, even had acouple rain showers pass through. This morning is warm but foggy.

As to your question. Depends on ice. The south river is just as good as the north, just not as big. Ill keep you posted when we know more.

Thanks for the updates! I've been looking at the weather reports for Pickle Lake, and it looks like the next ten days will range from the upper 30s to maybe lower 60s, with it mostly staying around the upper 40s/lower 50s, with some rain? That should bode well for taking care of the ice I would think. Looking forward to your next update!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
