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!

    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
