Photo of the Day

Congratulations Danielle on landing this huge walleye, and thanks for releasing it back to the lake. Large fish are the producers of the small fry so by releasing the larger fish we ensure it keeps our fisheries in a healthy state. We've had plenty of rain over the...

One of our guests captured the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) on Sunday night. Northern Lights are always a delight to see. This group also caught some nice fish stay tuned for those photos. Today's forecast - Sunny. Fog patches dissipating this morning. Wind...

Someone landed a good size walleye. Looks like the day they caught it was a pleasant day, we haven't had too many days like that lately. We had a fair bit of rain last night and it feels warmer this morning than it did yesterday. Today's forecast - Cloudy. 70 percent...

It was a chilly day of fishing but first timer Kat, landed this Northern Pike. Kat and her family enjoyed some good fishing throughout their trip. Our weather certainly hasn't been the greatest, we've had some pretty windy days and temperatures in the morning have...

Check out the lure that bass bit on, it must have been hungry. There's some trophy size bass in all our lakes and they're fun to catch. Today's forecast - Mainly cloudy. 40 percent chance of showers early this morning with risk of a thunderstorm. Wind becoming...

Dale landed this monster Northern Pike while staying at our Mount Lake Outpost. Yesterday was a nasty day, windy, rainy and cold day. Hard to believe we're at the end of June and you still need layers on when out on the lake. Today's forecast - Mainly sunny. Wind...

First time fishing at Hyatt's Manion Lake Camp, Emily is proud of the big lake trout she caught. It was a hot and humid day yesterday, we had a storm overnight but it still feels humid this morning. Today's forecast - Showers ending this afternoon then a mix of sun...

Mary was the winner for the big fish of the day and she needed a bit of help to get this photo. After pictures were taken this one went back into the waters, which is much appreciated. We're in another heat warning as temperatures are heating up. Today's forecast - A...

Someone caught a beauty lake trout while fishing at our Mount Lake Outpost. Fishing has continued to be good even when the weather got hot, hot, hot. Temperatures have dropped back to more seasonal, a good relief for everyone. Today's forecast - Clearing this morning....

One of our recent guests sent us this stunning photo of a double rainbow. Look closely because you can see the rainbow's reflection in the water. Water levels have continued to drop and things are drying up. Don has hooked up the docks at Mount Lake. Our temperatures...

This couple celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary by canoeing our chain of lakes. Weather was going to be a bit rough so Don gave them a ride from the portage on their departure day. We had a good storm roll through yesterday evening, although there was some good...

Once again, Stacey was the big winner with this monster northern pike. Yes there are some huge fish in our lake but they aren't that easy to catch, well done Stacey! It looks like our weather is finally going to warm up as today we are in a special weather statement...

Don has a new toy for the portage. He has to wait for a calm morning to take it to the portage so for now I'm enjoying using it around the main camp. Today's forecast - Showers. Risk of a thunderstorm this afternoon. Wind becoming southeast 20 km/h near noon. High 23....

Stacey was the winner of the day with this huge walleye that was released back into the waters. Today's forecast - Increasing cloudiness. Wind becoming south 20 km/h gusting to 40 this morning. High 22. Tonight Mainly cloudy. 30 percent chance of showers overnight...

Pat caught and released this beautiful walleye. Releasing big fish helps with the sustainability of the lakes so this was very much appreciated. Weather has been very pleasant over the last few days and our lake levels have dropped significantly. We are beginning to...

After taking photos of this 23 inch walleye, Pat returned it to the lake. Fish these size are the ones that produce the small fry, so thanks for putting this one back. Weather has been improving, we've had a few sunny days but nothing too hot. Today's forecast - Sunny...

Mike caught this huge northern pike while fishing on Manion. We haven't seen one this big for sometime, just imagine what this fish has been eating. Of course with the size regulations it went back to the lake. Our days have been quite cool but we haven't had any...

Father and son spent a few days at our Mount Lake Outpost and this was one of the monsters they caught. This huge Northern Pike almost took Finn out of the boat!! Here we are at the beginning of June, at this rate the summer will be over before we know it. We received...

In the background is the waterfalls that you see at our bridge. This winter there was hardly any water coming over the drop but as you can see here you can't see any rocks. The good news is the water is dropping. We still have some water over our road where you can...

Despite the high water, Don has been able to get to Mount Lake to survey the docks. He was very pleased to find them all sitting where he built them, they just aren't attached to the shore. He'll have that on his "to do" list this weekend. We have a cool, cloudy day...

This picture was taken on Sunday at the portage on the Manion side, lots of water. And guess what? It's raining this morning yet again and just when we thought the water was beginning to recede. Luckily Don has some inside work to do today on some of our cabins on...

Well I'm back online again. Ice went off Manion on May 13 but with lots of snow over the winter, many rainfall warnings we are now in a flood situation. As you can see here, cabin #5 is surrounded by water. The portage is also flooded. It will be a quiet opening...

Well as predicted we have been experiencing some heavy rainfall. The rain started yesterday around 5pm and we have received 26mm of rain so far and it is still raining. We have had thunderstorms as well, there was a good one throughout the night and we just recently...

Yet another cloudy, windy day but this time we're in a rainfall warning. That should help with the ice conditions and we're grateful it's now snow. Yesterday Don rode up to Mount Lake are said the lake was very slushy. Today's forecast - Mainly cloudy with 60 percent...

Look at the sun this morning! Although it was minus 11C this morning the sun has enough heat in it that it's warming up the snow and creating the fog. Unfortunately the sun is not going to stick around for long as we expect snow and rain by tomorrow. Don is going to...

We received yet again more snow overnight making us wonder if we are in the spring season or not. There is just so much snow to melt maybe this weekend we will begin to see it disappear. We had a very quiet Easter Weekend, no bunnies hopping around. Hope our family...

Someone has told us that it's spring but I think Mother Nature wasn't given the memo. We received about 15cm (6 inches) of snow overnight and it's still snowing. We are still in a snowfall warning for most of the day. There is just so much snow to melt before we can...

Phew, it's been a while since I last posted a photo but rest assured there really hasn't been that much happening lately. This picture was taken this morning, and as you can see the lake is still packed with ice, there's about 3 feet of the frozen stuff. We have a...

Our morning view as the sun rises, there's a little fog hovering over the lake. With our warm temperatures we are beginning to lose some snow but there's a lot to lose. We plan on doing some fishing this weekend as we have some family coming for a few days. Today's...

Well that doesn't look like we're in a northern cold climate. We had had enough of the winter cold and snow and went to Mexico, the sun and warmth was a much needed change. And now we're halfway through March and temperatures have warmed up considerably, planning on...

On my walk the other day and came upon this on top of the snow bank. A grouse might it's untimely death but by what? There were no tracks only a wing span, you can see that on the right of the photo. So we're thinking a hawk may have had this grouse for dinner. Jasper...

Happy Valentines Day! I took this photo hoping it would show how much snow we have received so far this winter. Jasper has a difficult time looking over the snow bank. (I'm kneeling on the ground to take this picture) Usually you would be able to see cabin 4 from this...

I took this photo yesterday while on my walk, hopefully you can see the ring around the sun. I'm not a weather expert but it always seems to me that when there's a ring around the sun or sundogs we have cold weather. Early last night our cold weather warning was...

Our view this morning, it actually looks worse in real life. We received a lot of snow yesterday and it's being blown around by strong winds. Don has some plowing to do but says he'll wait till the sun shines and the wind dies down. Today's forecast - Periods of light...

Don made it across our bridge safe and sound, it was a tight squeeze. And now the snowbanks have been winged back, just in time for the snow we are expecting today and tomorrow. Today's forecast - Mainly cloudy with 30 percent chance of flurries this morning. Snow...

Don took this photo of our sunrise yesterday morning, the sun looked so huge and look where it is rising, spring will be here before we know it. Don successfully winged back the snowbanks with his grader yesterday. It was such a pleasant day warmed to minus 2C, a...

Allison landed this trout while fishing on Sunday. Don is going to take the grader out today to wing the snowbanks back. The forecast is indicating that we're going to get more snow on Thursday and he's running out of room to push snow when he uses the plow on his...

John caught this trout that we ate for dinner on Saturday. Fishing was very slow for me that day and I haven't gone out since. John and Allison went out yesterday and they each caught one. The slush has come up and in some places the slush is almost to the top of...

Yesterday we had a cloudy, snowy day and it was very challenging to see the trail, so this morning Brian is marking the trail with tree branches. The slush has begun to come up with the weight of the snow so it will be good to stick to the trail. I went fishing with...

Coldest day of 2022 so far, but at least the sun is shining now and there's no wind. It is suppose to warm up throughout the day. The horses are frosted up this morning and the cold certainly has a bite to it right now, you have to make sure you're bundled up. Today's...

Took this photo yesterday as the wind was howling off the lake. Temperatures have dropped dramatically, minus 27C this morning but sunny. We're in an extreme cold weather warning for today. Don was thinking he'd go out with the grader to wing the snowbanks back but...

Well this certainly isn't the prettiest of pictures but it does illustrate how cruel the animal kingdom is out there. This is evidence of wolves that had killed a deer, all that is left is the stained snow. This photo was taken on Don's trapline that is west of Mine...

Caught and released this lake trout this weekend on a set line. Today would be a gorgeous day to go fishing, minus 10C this morning warming to minus 4C but unfortunately everyone work to do. We're expecting some snow overnight and tomorrow with potential strong winds....

We were pretty successful yesterday on our family fishing day, 5 trout and a pout. Doesn't get much better that that! Travelling on the lake is good, any slush that came up last weekend has froze and although there are a few bumps it's not as rough as it had been. We...
