It's that time of year again - autumn and the beginning of the archery moose hunt. On his second day of hunting, Chris harvested this bull moose. It had been a nasty day rainy with an east wind. Hunters do not appreciate an east wind. But the wind and rain cooperated...
Always fun to catch the big walleyes, and to release them so they can reproduce. Mike enjoyed some September fishing time, not too hot and no mosquitoes. Saw some faint northern lights again last night before going to bed. 2C this morning, clear but with some wind.
I captured this photo as the fog was lifting from the lake. It was thick fog earlier this morning and early yesterday evening there was Northern Lights. Check out our Facebook page or Instagram to see the photo. We were in a frost warning last night and it was chilly...
Looks like it was a little chilly on the lake but Mary still enjoyed catching a big northern. Fishing when it's cool is better than when it's blistering hot, and there's also no mosquitoes to bother you. Weather continues to be on the chilly side, 10C, cloudy with a...
Deb enjoyed two trips to Mount Lake, weather for the second trip was very hot but she and John still enjoyed catching many fish. 10C this morning, cloudy and looks like rain.
John fished our Mount Lake system in three different months and no matter what month he fished he always found some good sized walleye. It's another cool, cloudy morning, typical September weather. Don has a few portages this morning and then I'm sure he'll find some...
Evidence that fall will soon be upon us, leaves have been changing colour for awhile now and the reds are my favourite. This morning would be a moose morning as thick fog rolled in just shortly after 6am. 7C this morning but we may see a high of 21C. A good day to be...
The Weisenbeck group had a blast fishing for walleye, lake trout and bass while staying at our Pettit Lake #2 outpost. Well, as forecasted our temperatures have taken a dive. 12C and cloudy this morning but it's a great relief from the heat. We had some rain yesterday...
Rob helped his daughter land this perfect sized walleye. We love to see the young kids catch fish. It's another hot morning, 20C already but the forecast suggests there are storms on their way. More seasonal temperatures will return tomorrow.
First time fishing while staying at Mount Lake Outpost, this guy had a blast learning the tricks to catching big fish. We've had a very hot weekend but guests have still had a great time fishing. This morning the lake is hazy as there is smoke in the air. With the...
The rising super blue moon was spectacular last night, so fortunate to have no clouds. The moon light shimmered off the lake all evening. We woke up to thick fog, we can't see the island. We'll have a mainly sunny day with a high of 23C. The forecast for this long...
An almost full moon was doing it's best to shine through the clouds last night. The full moon happens Wednesday night, this will be the second full moon in August so it gets the name of a "Blue Moon". Sure hope we're able to see it at it's fullest. Check out our...
Alex and Jared spent the weekend at our Sandbeach outpost celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary. They had quite the time getting into the lake, dragging the boat up the creek, digging out a beaver dam and all in the dark. But despite the trek in they had a...
Josh caught this big northern when fishing Pettit and Mount. Josh and his family's trip didn't start off that great as they had motor problems but we were able to set them up with some of our rental boats so their trip wasn't ruined. 18C this morning and we've had...
The fog rolled in this morning but it didn't prevent guests who were staying at Mount Lake from navigating to the portage. The fog will move on and will be followed by what we hope to be a sunny day, high of 24C.
Logan was surprised and excited when he hauled up this monster, 31 inch walleye. We've had a number of large walleye being caught this summer, evidence that the breeding stock is strong. Yesterday was a cool sometimes rainy day and today may be a repeat of that. Don's...
Meet Brody, he spent a few days with his dad and grandparents at Pettit #2. He did very well fishing for all species, this lake trout is just one of his catches. He's already excited to come back next year. Don and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with a few...
Weather was on the cooler side when Scott and Sherry were here but Sherry still managed to catch this huge small mouth bass. It's been a chilly start to the morning, 5C but temperatures will warm up significantly and we'll have summer like weather later today and...
What's in your tackle box? This group used a tackle box for their snacks, notice they do have some worms though. 🙂 Yesterday was a great day for fishing and blueberry picking. Today is my last day to for picking but there's still more berries in the bush. It's...
Now that's a sunset! Last night's sunset was definitely beautiful, lots of pinks, purples, reds and oranges. And this morning we have blue sky and we're expecting a lovely day. Hoping to get out to pick some more blueberries, there are some plentiful patches. Don has...
Well it's not the nicest day to be out in a canoe but this couple will paddle to Sandbeach today. Winds are light and the rain may have passed, we wish them a safe journey. 15C this morning and it may not get any warmer. Don has a few portages to do today.
Allison snapped this photo at our bridge as she was heading out to check the minnow traps. You can begin to tell that the seasons are changing as the sun rises a little later each day, the mornings are a little cool, foliage is starting to change colour and there's...
For something different, Ryan caught this huge bass while fishing on Manion Lake. Although it didn't jump out of the water it did take a long time to reel it in. We'll have a mix of sun and rain today, chance of thunderstorms later this afternoon. We do need the rain,...
Brian broke his own biggest walleye record catching this nice walleye. Brenda's family had a number of great fishing days while they were here. Our day has started off being dull and rainy but it should all move our late this morning and then we'll have another lovely...
Yvonne caught and released this 31 inch walleye while fishing on Manion Lake this week. I think this may be the biggest walleye caught in a long time. Congratulations. It was yet another lovely day yesterday, we certainly are enjoying the summer weather. Today will be...
Gary caught this walleye when he was at our Pettit outpost in late June. Looks like weather was a bit nasty then but that can be when the walleye bite is good. We have a busy Friday morning with guests checking in.
It's a foggy start to our day. The fog is slowly lifting, as I write this post we can now see the shoreline. It's going to be a hot, humid day which might produce some late afternoon thunderstorms.
Don's saying John caught this fish. Yes, Don took part of yesterday off and went fishing, Allison said he actually did put a line in the water for a bit. It should be a hot day today with a chance of a thunderstorm near noon.
Are you interested in bass fishing? John shows that there definitely are some huge smallmouth bass in our lakes. It's a very calm morning and cool. Temperatures will definitely warm up for this afternoon.
Another beauty lake trout caught fishing Pettit-Mount Lake system. It's going to be a lovely day to either fish or just enjoy the lake. We got new seats for our pontoon boat so maybe we'll spend some time floating around on the lake today.
Mark enjoys spending time chasing lake trout when he's staying at our Mount Lake Outpost. Here he is with one of his catches earlier this month. The heat has moved on and the temperatures are just about perfect for getting out on the water to catch a few fish. We have...
Deb caught this nice walleye while staying at our Mount Lake Outpost. As predicted we had a hot day yesterday. Throughout the night we had a good thunderstorm roll through dropping 9.9mm of rain. But it hasn't cooled things down as it's already 18C this morning....
Toby and Melissa and family had a fantastic time at our Pettit #1 outpost. The kids enjoyed the beach. Toby and Melissa enjoyed catching some big walleye, this one was 29 inches and was released back into the waters. We're expecting a hot day today. 27C for a high but...
Dave caught and released this 30inch lake trout when fishing on Pettit Lake, the biggest catch so far this year for a lake trout. Yesterday seemed like a very busy day for everyone today will be a bit quieter till later this afternoon. We're in a heat warning for...
It was a chilly morning as the fog lay over the lake. But the sun quickly warmed things up so now it's sunny and clear. Looking forward to a high of 25C. A great day to be out on the water or laying on the beach.
After a long day of fishing it's time to relax on the screened in deck, away from the mosquitoes. In this photo which was taken the beginning of July, the sun is very red due to all the forest fires. Occasionally we do have evidence of smoke but it's not heavy, just...
Today's fish story - Dave caught and landed this 33 inch northern pike with the use of only one arm. It was caught with a jig but no leader, with half a night crawler and no net. Well done Dave! We had some rain roll through early this morning, that was unfortunate...
Looks like the day this walleye was caught it was cool and windy, but fish don't really care too much about that kind of weather. Fishing with a bit of chop on the water is always a good thing. We have more summer like weather which is very welcome. The kids that are...
Sometimes you just need to sit back and enjoy the sunset. We haven't seen too many sunsets lately as we've continued in our pattern on cool, grey, rainy days and evenings. Temperatures are to begin to improve today as we may have a touch of summer like weather...
Another trout for the books, making for some great memories. Trout fishing can be a challenge but they are a lot of fun to catch when you find them. Yesterday was a cool and rainy day but guests did manage to get out for some action. It's another grey day this...
Mark exhibits a beautiful lake trout caught while fishing at one of our outposts. As predicted it's a cool day, 13C, we might see a high of 16C. We've had some rain roll through earlier this morning, we might see more later today. The whole week is suggesting it will...
Dylan was excited as he caught and released this 24 inch walleye. We enjoyed a pleasant morning on the deck but the clouds have moved in and it's not quite as nice. Yesterday was hot and humid, today begins a 3 day stretch of cool, rainy weather. We welcome the rain....
Harry and group had some fun chasing northern pike, it can be quite the rush when you hook a big one. We have a cooler start to the day but it should end up being a warm one. This weekend isn't going to be as nice though, temperatures will be on the cool side.
Bass are always so much fun to catch, especially when they put up a fight. Looking forward to another pleasant day today high of 24C with a slight possibility of a shower late in the afternoon.
Someone was up early and captured this photo of a family of ducks enjoying the cool, misty morning. The sun has warmed things up so the mist is now clear and it looks like it's shaping up to be a great day to be out on the water chasing fish.
