Canadian Lake Trout Fishing

[Outfitter17]

We are just starting to make some good ice up here, if anyone is still looking for a great spot for a winter trout trip - look no further than Camp Manitou.

We offer a little adventure with your trout fishing excursion. We are not located just off a highway or even near a highway, we travel in 15 miles by a good gravel road, just off the 502 northeast of Fort Frances and then snowmobile 6 miles to a remote island resort. We only offer 4 winter cabins, so you will have this winter paradise to youself and a few of your good fishing friends.

You can view our HSOforum at www.campmanitoufishing.net or click on our sponsor banner in the Canada section.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us, we have limited space.

Be sure to inquire about any FM specials that may be going on.

Thanks,

Matt Koerbitz

What is your availabilty looking like for March for a group of 4? We have been talking about heading your way.

Do you know how Ted & Fay Davis are these days? We have a fly-in camp on Shikag Lake and I haven't seen them much since they sold Moose Point.

[Outfitter17]

Yes, I know Ted and Faye. I just talked to Ted last week.

Right know I have room for 4 people on the first weekend of march and room on either the 3rd or 4th weekend for up to 8 people. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Send me an e-mail with what dates you would like at [email protected]

I will be out of town between friday and wednesday, so the best way to contact me is through e-mail.

What is your name?, I could tell him Hi for you, I am suppose to get ahold of him right after christmas.

Thanks,

Matt

Hey Magnum,

Did you say you have a Camp or a cabin on Shikag?

What conditions do you have? Can you run the stretch?? I'm thinking about a trip for the opener.

[magnum mike]

Matt, We have had the only other camp on Shikag since 1980. Most people call it Johnson's but there are other members. Tell the Davis' happy holidays from Mike & Terry Carlson in HIbbing. Tell Ted that Brad the new owner dosen't deliver fresh bread like Ted used to. We miss them alot.

The only times I have been on Manitou is with Ted. I have friends from Hibbing that have camps on Manitou but I never can go when they want.

The main lake is not froze and the stretch is froze over in most spots, but there is alot of slush. The ice is only 2-7 inches with open pockets. With the warm temps we are having we are not looking good for opener.

Hey Mike,

I will pass along your seasons greetings to Ted and Faye when I see them.

Happy Holidays,

Matt Koerbitz

Thanks Matt. Hopefully things will improve rapidly, as you know they can up there.

I will be up fishing at Dogfly right after opener, I can give you an update after I get back. What type of machine do you drive? If I see you around, I will stop and say hello. I run a green Polaris widetrack.

[cedarnarrowsguy]

I run a Yamaha long track. Its a 500 so I'm noy into water skipping too much...I might be up on the first to scout around and possibly fish a few back bays....

[Outfitter17]

Hey CedarNarrowsguy,

I run a silver arctic cat 660T bearcat, if you see me stop over and say hello.

I think I met your father-in-law?, during deer season at esox landing - he was moose hunting.

Be very careful in the bays there are alot of springs in different bays keeping some open pockets of water open. We have not had very cold temps and we have had alot of snow, so I am not expecting good ice until late jan. hopefully after we get some good cold weather.

Hi Mike,

Send me an e-mail at [email protected] if you have narrowed down some dates in march for a trout fishing trip. I have been getting quite a few calls for Mid feb. to Mid march and I would like to get you guys a spot before they fill. We only take a max of 14 in our 3 winter cabins, so they can fill quickly.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,

Matt Koerbitz

[cedarnarrowsguy]

Superbee or Outfitter....Anything going on up there? I will be on the Manitou Sat or Sunday. Has travel improved any?

[Outfitter17]

I will be up this weekend, Things inproved greatly from the 3rd weekend in feb. to the last weekend in feb. You can ride just about anywhere in the stretch and its a nice ride, if you go up to the big lake it's still bumpy. We had alot of wind, so it smoothed the lake out. Good Luck

[cedarnarrowsguy]

Thanks, O.F....I'll look for ya...

[cedarnarrowsguy]

Hey Outfitter,

Are you still traveling up the lake on your sled? What kind of conditions exist. I'll be up for a quick trip this weekend.....

[Outfitter17]

Hey Cedarnarrows,

I was up the weekend of march 29-30 and you would have thought it was jan. There was alot of snow and 24-30 inches of ice, with nothing melting at all.

I am going back this weekend for a couple of days and I am taking my sleds, from the reports I am getting things havn't changed much.

I am not expecting Ice out until mid may if things stay like this.

Good Luck
