Ontario Canada Fly In Fishing Reports by LM Fly-in Outposts

[LMFlyin]

Just as I have done the last 3 years, I reported our fishing reports/trip reviews and plan to do it again. Time is approaching when our first fishermen start to roll in (walleye opener). Will advise soon as I get some reports to post. What I intend on doing is reporting just on this thread of the reports.

We gather the reports, when we fly the group out at the end of the trip. They fill out a report themselves on the flight home (words of the anglers themselves) and I'll post what they have to say. Stay tuned to this thread, if interested.

The reports will start very soon. Walleye opener was today and we are starting to fly the guests in now. When these groups leave this upcoming weekend we'll have some reports to post. What I can report now. Today is very nice weather. Weather forcast this week looks nice. Water levels are low over much of the north.

Lake: Dobie

Dates: 5/15-5/22/2010

Group: Kritz

Report: Water levels where a bit low but fishing spirits where always high during our 7 day fishing adventure. Dobie proved to be a great fishing lake once again as walleye were taken in large numbers despite warm temps and sunny days. The youngster in our group landed the big fish of the week of 42 inches, caught on a walleye rig and curly tail. Great fishing, great times.

Our cabin had a Honda Generator with a coffee pot, microwave, toaster, electric fridge, ceiling fan all worked very well. (Note from L & M on this report, Austin is our only cabin set up with those little extras as we are expirmenting a new cabin system (run off generator) and may in the future add this system to other lakes if it works out well and get more good reports of people liking it).
