L & M 2009 Fly In Ontario, Canada Fishing Reports


Recommended Posts

I reported our reports last season and plan to do it again on this site. Time is approaching when our first fishermen start to roll in. Will advise soon as I get some reports to post. What I intend on doing is reporting just on this thread of the reports. How I gather the reports, when we fly the group out at the end of the trip, they fill out a report and Ill post what they have to say. Stay tuned if interested.

Hello Paul, I can not say exactly. Depends exactly where from Pickle your talking. We've got camps straight to the west of Pickle and as of yesterday one of our camps was completely out and the other was about 1/2 out. Lake St. Joe still had plenty of ice out in the big open basins. Very windy though today should be breaking more ice up. Last night our Dobie lake camp called via sat phone, about 8 oclock pm had about 6 inches of snow up to that point.

L & M..thanks. I talked to some folks in Armstrong, Ontario and was told Lake McKenzie was open but not sure of anything in the Fort Hope area and north. We are suppose to fly out on the 30th. Outfitter is still in Thunder Bay. I think it is gonna be close again this year.

Onemore,

We just got back from Sioux Lookout. Fished the Crooked Rapids area. The fish are still spawning. The water is cold (40 degrees). If the weather warms up you will do well. There are some nice fish to be caught right now.

Thanks! It seems like a colder spring so far this year. In years past this has meant bigger pike and slower walleye action. If the water warms a bit it could be crazy up there. I can't wait.

Lake: Dobie

Dates: 5/15/09-5/21/09

Group: Flom

Report: At the start of the trip, the water temp was 36 degrees. The walleyes were scattered. First night of our trip lots of snow accomulation. As the week went on the snow melted and the water warmed, fishing got better. Towards the end of the trip we boated anywhere from 20-60 walleyes per day. The pike were in with the walleyes and where small.

Lost 1 36-40 inch pike otherwise all smaller pike under 4 pounds. Walleyes avg 19-20 inches with many 22-24 inches. Lost a 25+ inch walleye. Little action in the shallow bays or the north end of the lake. Vampire and Chartreuse Rapalas worked best.

Just got back last night from the Sioux Lookout area. The weather was cold and wet. Surface water temps were 48. Deeper water temps were low to mid 40's.

The walleye were everywhere in 6-12 ft of water. Small mouth bass were just coming in to spawn and were hungry.

Norther Pike were in 2 to 18 ft of water and super hungry! Suspending Husky jerk-baits fished slow with long pauses were deadly on all three species! It was incredible fishing!

Lake: Dobie

Dates: 5/26/09-5/31/09

Group: Fresk

Report: The weather was very cool for this time of year. Freezing temp each morning, but warming nicely by mid day. Majority of the fish in the warmer waters and rivers. 46 degrees in the lake and 5-10 degrees warmer in the rivers. Excellent walleye fishing as the spawning season approached its peak. 36 inch northern and several 24-28 inch pike. Another great year at L & M, but then again every year up here has been great!!

Lake: Shabumeni

Dates: 5/24/09-5/31/09

Group: Dueling

Report: Superb fishing, Superb camp with top notch facilities. Could not find a better operation (20 years of trips coming north). Walleye fishing was spectacular in the outlet with 100 fish per man common! The woodchuck in camp kept the older AARP members of our camp entertained through out the week. Nice work Larry, Mary, and Shane! We will return!!

Lake: Austin

Dates: 5/25/09-5/31/09

Group: Buddenhagen

Report: Weather was cold and windy most days which made fishing interesting. The main inlet to the lake produced fewer fish than other years due to the weather conditions, but most points held fish. The inlet did net Shane his biggest northern to date. 42 inch, wow! The portage lakes were rock solid again this year netting the most fish and the largest walleye. Shane also topped his biggest walleye with one just shy of 26 inches. Thanks L & M

    • 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.
