RICK SAYERS WITH A GORGEOUS TROPHY PIKE.

ANDREA WITH HER LARGEST PIKE EVER - BY FAR.
THIS IS A TRUE TROPHY PIKE IN ANYONES BOOK

THE LEONOVITZ MEN

3 GENERATIONS  ENJOYING THE BEST WILDERNESS FISHING IN CANADA

LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL DAY FISHING

LEE TOWNES WITH A MONSTER PIKE HIS LARGEST EVER.

Caught on number 4 gold walleye hook on a two hook spinner rig with a Nightcrawler and 15 pond test on a spinner rod.  The story was lots of spinning drag.  Knowing that if he's on the stinger hook  with 12 pond mono and a number 8 trebble hook on the last hook connected by a rubber tab, we would be there a while.  I let the drag as loose as I could get it so if its on the stinger I wont bend  the hooks or cut the line.  It had had two big runs from the boat.  Each about 25 yards. Never jumped (thank goodness) but surfaced twice.  I just had enough  on the line to keep the hook in and then let it give up.

I caught a 40 inch Pike at Lac De Milac in 2005.  This is my biggest!  I have some videos dad shot that I can post on YouTube and send you the link.  I'll send you the pictures of the tiny hook in his cheek.  The stinger was gone when we got it into the boat.

TODD ANDERSON AND GROUP RETURNED FOR THEIR FOURTH YEAR AND CAUGHT EVEN MORE FISH THAN BEFORE.

TODD DEMOSS

The new age fisherman. 

Likes to be remote but needs to stay in touch. Awesome.

We moved the "Queen Marie" across the portage. The guys were convinced it couldn't be done but it isn't even close to the craziest thing that I've done. It seperated the men from the boys and everyone felt a sense of accomplishment. Not that it is something that we would want to do everyday. 

This huge 24 foot boat will be a welcome addition when moving groups on cold, windy, rainy days. 

NATURE'S CALENDAR

When the yellow butterflies are out and the large dragon flies hatch it tells you what stage the fishing will be at. It is something that I talk about a lot with guests at camp. 

Tim had seven nice pike on  seven casts in a row. He was using a small perch colored Lindy shading.

All of them came out of 4-7 feet of water in Early July 

Luke and Same Hryziak had a wonderful week catching plenty of nice big pike.

Larry Johnston caught these two beauties one after the other and held them for a photo before releasing them. 

Nice Rain Jacket ( Oh and huge walleye) - Ontario Red Lake Fishing Report

I just had to share this beautiful photo.
I’ve been waiting for a reason to get a photo of this rain suit.
It’s a beauty aye?
I was out at lemonade Lake with Ed Jantz and Bruce
It was cold and rained hard all day
2^nd day after the cold front so???
But managed to get a bunch of fish including another huge walleye.

This one was in 9 feet of water.
Most of our bigger fish have been coming in about 14 – 18.
Mark caught a monster northern pike his largest by far.
Joe had never caught a walleye before this trip and his first walleye was a nice fat 28 incher.
He has two over 28 inches so far.
Bruce had a walleye definitely over 30 inches but the net handler was asleep at the switch.
Tom had a 27 -28 incher that Ed knocked off with the net.
On Monday it was pretty miserable weather but we caught well over 300 walleye.
Tuesday was cool and sunny and Mark caught his Giant.
We also caught several hundred walleye including Joes 2^nd huge walleye.
I’ve managed to catch several big walleye including two truly huge walleye by any standard.
I’ll post the other pictures soon.

Ed jantz and the Chicago firemen - Ontario Red Lake Fishing Report

Most of our big fish have been in about 18 feet.
The weather was terrible.
It was the 2nd day after a cold front and you know what that means.
On a side note the red dragon flies have arrived. I'm not certain where they migrate from
but I know they arrive this time of year. The giant green and yellow ones arrive in mid august.
They are local and hatch from the lake.
but anyways.
We braved the elements and caught a bunch of walleye.
On Sunday Joe caught his first walleye - it was 28 inches.
We caught about 300 that day. On Monday we caught about 500 including several 27 -28.5 and
Bruce had a 30 plus right at the boat but the net handler was asleep at the switch. Tom had a giant but Ed deftly knocked it off with one swipe of the net.
On Tuesday the weather was brutal but the fishing was outstanding.
probably 500.

Joe caught his
second giant 2 walleye.
Mark caught the largest Pike of his life. It was a true trophy Pike by any standards.
Weather is clear and cool this morning ( thursday sep 20 )
will let you know how things turn
 out.
