Thaddeus Lake

[Gunther]

Made our annual trip to Thaddeus Lake Lodge returning on the 15th of June. Thaddues Lake Lodge is a small resort about 40 miles north of Dryden Ontario. We have access to fish 3 lakes from the lodge (Thaddeus, Ord and Moose). This is our trip we have done for 7 years now. Each year renews our desire to book the next. We had good weather, kind of cool but did not get rained on a lot.

Fishing was good to great. Found Walleyes in the usual haunts but like other have said about lakes in that area they were scattered at times. We had good quantities of 24-29 inch fish and more than enough eaters for multiple shore lunches. Smallmouth were a little harder to come by as they were not in the shallows as much but we caught enough to satisfy us.

Like many others that venture north each year this has become a tradition that we are passing on to the next generation. Not many 14 year olds that can say they have 7 Canada trips under their belts.

We have not been to Thaddeus in 25 yrs can you still see the Indian paintings on the rock wall across the lake from the camp? also the blue berry picking was awesome on the hill across the lake. just steep enough so you could stand up and pick in front of you,

Fishing walleyes we did our best on the rock pile on the flats to the north west of the camp. Did the Muskies ever take off in the Lake? we dd catch a few monsters but not very often. that is a great drive to camp. Good to hear that the fish was good there. going though the covert was always fun the beavers loved to try and block it up.

Will have to inquire about the paintings on the rocks. Have never seen them.

We go the second week of June each year, well before blueberry season.

The rock pile northwest of camp has been very good to me in previous years, not so much this year. Its weird how some years they are just stacked up on it.

The culvert can be very fun but very challenging depending on the water levels. In low water years you have to pull all the way through. This year with high water levels you had to pull over the lip of water on the high side to get through.
