This is what Don has been working on at Mount Lake - cribs for the docks. Due to high water levels in throughout the spring and summer he wasn't able to build the cribs. Our last beautiful day before we get into November weather. Yesterday we reached a high of 20C!!...
The sun looks huge this morning, 8C and windy. It looks like today will be the last nice fall (summer like) day. We're expecting a high of 19C today but temperatures will fall overnight and not be colder. Don will go to Mount Lake again today to work on the cribs for...
Happy Halloween! Not a very scary photo but we don't see many ghosts or goblins this time of year. Waters have receded from this summer's high levels and you can now see the rocks at the waterfall. For most of the summer all you saw was white water flowing quickly...
Can't see the sun that well this morning with all the fog on the lake. Minus 1C this morning, this fog will lift and we'll have a mainly sunny day and a high of 12C.
Slowly, the sun is creeping back to it's winter solstice position which is December 21. At that time the sun will be on the right of the far island. It's a clear morning, 5C with a wind. Don was thinking of going to the outposts today but he'll wait for a day when...
Guests who fished the last week of September enjoyed some beautiful views while fishing on Pettit Lake. I don't expect we'll see rainbows now until next year. We have another cloudy day and we'll only reach a high of 5C. It will be a good day to get some more fall...
14C this morning, cloudy and windy. We had a thunderstorm roll through during the night but we didn't receive a lot of rain. Yesterday, Alex and I went fishing. We caught some northern and a bass but no walleye for dinner. No more fishing until we go ice fishing this...
Late September walleye fishing can be a lot of fun especially when the weather is favourable. It's another summer like day out there today, sunny and the forecast is suggesting a high of 20C. Another great day to either get out on the water, go hunting or do some yard...
Items on Don's fall to-do list got another thing stroked off as the Kubota was brought back from the portage yesterday. He also got up to some of the outposts to drain water lines. We have a cloudy morning, a few showers. It will continue to be a cloudy day with a...
A successful hunt for this group as they harvested this cow moose. We have a lovely day happening today, the sun is sparkling off the lake, makes you think of summer. We'll see a high of 13C.
One of our guests captured this photo of a spruce grouse when he was out bird hunting - great picture! Minus 5C this morning, beautiful orange sunrise. Looking forward to a sunny day with a high of 8C.
A beautiful, calm sunrise this morning. It almost looks like the lake is frozen but that's mist rising from the lake. We didn't expect temperatures to get as cold as they did the last few nights. We had several water lines break yesterday, so Don will have some...
Well I guess you can say we're definitely experiencing some fall like weather. We've had below zero temperatures for a number of days now. We've had some snow but it's not sticking around. The ground is beginning to freeze so some water to cabins has frozen. We are...
Yes, that is snow in the trees but there isn't any on the ground. West of us around Fort Frances they did get snow on the ground. Minus 1C and cloudy, the sun might show itself later this afternoon but we'll only reach a high of 5C. It's the opening of the rifle moose...
We thought we were going to see the sun this morning but there's just too many clouds. 1C this morning with just a bit of a wind. Weather won't improve much throughout the day, high 4C, perhaps a mix of rain and snow, we just aren't ready for that kind of weather.
Don never runs out of projects to do around here. He's now working on installing tin on the gable ends of the lodge. He's hoping the rain will hold off so he gets this end completed. Yesterday was a summer like day with a high of 25C. I think that's the last of that...
A beautiful sunrise this morning. Notice were the sun is coming up, it seems to move faster this time of the year. We'll have a mainly sunny day, winds out of the south guesting to 40km and a high of 20C. This just might be our last day of summer like weather, we're...
Early October walleye fishing, Syl catches and releases another beauty. Another chilly start to the day but the sun is sparkling off the lake, looks inviting. Today's forecast - mainly sunny, southwest winds, high of 16C.
Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! A chilly start to the morning, minus 2C. Should be a sunny day with a high of 11C.
Gorgeous moon over Manion Lake last night led to a frosty morning this morning. Yesterday we actually saw a few snow flurries, not enough to show up on the ground though. Today's forecast - cloudy this morning, clearing this afternoon. Wind gusting to 40km high of...
Bud caught and released this monster walleye when he was fishing here the last week of September. Thanks to putting this fish back it will produce many more fish. As predicted the weather changed dramatically overnight. Yesterday we had a high of 20C this morning it...
It was a gorgeous morning to be sitting on the deck watching the sunrise, the lake was so calm you could hear the leaves fluttering off the trees. It may be the last nice day to sit on the deck. Today's forecast - Mainly cloudy with 60% chance of showers later this...
Another successful hunt for this group. It's a cloudy morning but warm with a light breeze. The leaves are beginning to fall. Today's forecast - cloudy, chance of showers, high 20C.
A successful hunt for this group as they harvest a bull moose. Our weather warmed up towards the end of last week but it looks like today may be the last of such nice days. Weather is to become more fall like this week. Today's forecast - sunny in morning then cloudy...
A successful moose hunt for this group this year. Weather warmed up late last week and it looks like today will be our last nice day as temperatures are to dip to more fall like weather. The bush has been painted with many colours hopefully the leaves will stick...
This beauty was caught and released this last week of September. Releasing such large fish help to protect our fisheries. Today's forecast - mainly cloudy, high of 18C.
Today is National Truth and Reconciliation Day. A day to honour and remember Indigenous children who were taken from their families and forced to attend Indian Residential Schools. A few books to add to your reading list to learn more include; The Inconvenient Indian...
It's not always walleye that fishermen are after, bass fishing can be a lot of fun and we have some big bass in our lakes. Today's forecast - mix of sun and cloud, maybe a few light showers. High of 18C.
A frosty night led to mist rising from the lake this morning. Now the sun is sparkling off the lake, looks inviting. Wendy and I made it to Sandbeach and were successful at closing up all but one of our outpost cabins. Today's forecast - sunny, winds south 10km high...
There's some good sized bass in our system and Stan and his crew enjoyed casting for them. Yesterday was not that pleasant of a day but some of our guests managed to catch some walleye. Today, Wendy and I are going to the outposts to beginning closing up those cabins...
Stan was practicing his drone skills during his fishing trip this past week. This is a ring shot of the camp - I'd say it's very impressive, well done Stan! We have some guests fishing this weekend and despite the fall weather they have been catching a few fish....
Matt harvested this black bear this past week. I went trout fishing yesterday, fishing was slow as we only caught one trout. Today's forecast - mix of sun and cloud, northwest winds gusting to 40km, high of 12C.
