Thursday November 23, 2023

It was much colder overnight, we woke up to minus 11C but a good wind prevented the lake from freezing. There's a skim of ice just out from the shore line but the middle of the lake is still open. Temperatures won't get above freezing so it won't be long now till the...

Wednesday November 22, 2023

Minus 8C this morning and ice is trying to form along the shoreline. However, there's a good southeast wind that is preventing it form solidly sticking around. We know the time for freeze up is coming soon as temperatures continue to fall.

Tuesday November 21, 2023

Tuesday November 21, 2023

No visible sunrise this morning, just dull grey sky. We had some rain overnight but temperatures have dropped and now we have some snow flurries. We're not expecting much accumulation though.

Monday November 20, 2023

Monday November 20, 2023

Before the sun rose this was our view, beautiful reddish orange sky, sailors take warning isn't that the saying? Minus 5C with an east wind so that's preventing ice to form along the shore line. You can see a thin coating further out on the lake. We're suppose to get...

A gorgeous start to the morning, nothing beats a colourful sunrise, minus 2C. We're looking forward to having a mostly sunny day and a high of 4C. There's still some outside work to get done so now will be the time to do it, snow may be coming this week.

Thursday November 16, 2023

Thursday November 16, 2023

Our view this morning just after sunrise, nice and calm. We should have left a boat in the water even if what just to go for a boat ride. The majority of today is suppose to be a pleasant day but winter like weather is on its way.

Wednesday November 15, 2023

Wednesday November 15, 2023

Another beautiful sunrise this morning, -1C. Most of the snow has melted and has been running off into the lake, which is good for lake levels. Weather forecasts continue to remind us that winter weather will be on its way soon, but we are loving these mild...

Tuesday November 14, 2023

The sun is rising behind the island, makes for a pretty sight. We haven't seen a lot of sun, November is always a very cloudy, gray month so what sun we do see is welcomed. Another mild morning, 2C but it did freeze overnight, the yard is a bit slippery. We are...

Monday November 12, 2023

Monday November 12, 2023

We've had a number of cloudy days but yesterday's clouds moved on in the evening allowing the northern lights and stars to shine. It's cloudy but mild this morning, plus2C. We're looking forward to having a few nice days this week, we might even see the sun.

Wednesday November 8, 2023

Wednesday November 8, 2023

Yesterday was a very windy, cloudy day. There were white caps on the lake and the waves were pushing ice along this area of the lake. It snowed in the evening a few centimeters. Once again it's cloudy and with a south wind and 0C this morning. We're expecting rain...

Tuesday November 7, 2023

Tuesday November 7, 2023

This is our sunrise this morning, we caught a brief glimpse of the sun. The forecast is suggesting we will see the sun later on but I think the east wind bring more clouds. Don has been setting some beaver traps so he's checking those today.

Monday November 6, 2023

Monday November 6, 2023

Our view this morning, no sun and now there's snow flurries. We had rain overnight but nothing freezing, lots of puddles in the yard. We're glad to have most things put away for the season. Don's not really sure what he wants to do today, I think he'd like to see some...

Saturday November 4, 2023

Saturday November 4, 2023

Minus 13C this morning and there's been some heavy mist rising from the lake. Temperatures are to warm to minus 1C so today will be a day to make sure various items outside have been picked up and stored for the winter. We're definitely ahead of the game this year,...

Monday October 30, 2023

Monday October 30, 2023

The sun just poked around the clouds momentarily this morning, we now have clouds, windy and minus 8C. You can tell the lake is getting colder, lots of mist rising from the lake. Don is glad he has quite a bit of his fall list completed but there's still more to be...

Sunday October 29, 2023

Sunday October 29, 2023

The clouds moved on in the evening giving way to a beautiful Hunters Moon glistening off the lake. We didn't stay up for the partial lunar eclipse though. Once again we have a cloudy morning, a few scattered snow flurries and minus 6C. Puddles are frozen but not the...

Saturday October 28, 2023

Don took out some of the docks yesterday, he hopes to take the rest out today. Minus 3C, cloudy and windy this morning. You can see mist rising off the lake evidence that the lake is continuing to cool down.

Friday October 27, 2023

Friday October 27, 2023

Well for something completely different - our first significant snowfall of the season. Don is hoping he got things picked up and stored away, he still has the docks to get out of the lake. It looks like the snow will move on later this morning.

Thursday October 26, 2023

Thursday October 26, 2023

Just one boat remains in the lake all others have been stored away for the winter. This one will stay in the lake until the docks are out. That job hopefully will happen this weekend. You can also see that once again we have a cloudy, windy morning. We currently are...

Wednesday October 25, 2023

Wednesday October 25, 2023

Yes, this is our view again this morning cloudy and 2C but the sun is trying desperately to shine. Today will be a day to get more outside work completed such as draining the water lines. The forecast is suggesting we may see snow this weekend.

Tuesday October 24, 2023

Tuesday October 24, 2023

A grey morning, light wind, cloudy, 8C. We've had some rain overnight, puddles in the yard. We actually are welcoming the rain we need it for the lake levels. We're not ready for snow yet.

Monday October 23, 2023

Monday October 23, 2023

We moved the side-by-side back from the portage this weekend, so no more trips up to the outposts until the lakes are frozen. Now it's time to remove docks, close up most cabins on Manion and make sure various items are put away for the winter. Cloudy with some rain...

Friday October 20, 2023

This morning's view, never gets old. It will be another great day to be outside doing just about anything. Another group of moose hunters left this morning, they harvested a moose yesterday. Don has built another shelter for various pieces of equipment, he got the...

Tuesday October 17, 2023

Tuesday October 17, 2023

A beautiful sunrise this morning mist rising off the lake as well. It looks like it will be another great fall day, sunny and a high of 14C. A good day to be out and about.

Monday October 16, 2023

Monday October 16, 2023

This morning's view, 4C with a bit of a wind. We still have some moose hunters in so it may have been a good hunting morning. It definitely will be a good day to be out and about.

Saturday October 14, 2023

Saturday October 14, 2023

Today is the opening of the rifle moose season. Wonder if they will be as fortunate as Rob and Krista were in the archery moose hunt. It's probably a good moose morning, cloudy somewhat calm winds and cloudy.

Thursday October 12, 2023

Thursday October 12, 2023

It's a gorgeous fall morning, sun sparkling off the lake, just a little wind, perfect day to be out and about.

Wednesday October 11, 2023

Wednesday October 11, 2023

Rob and Krista enjoyed some wonderful days archery moose hunting and they have hunted in Northwestern Ontario many years. Rob harvested this bull. Weather continues to be cool. Don has restarted our new outdoor wood furnace and he's preparing his fall list.

Tuesday October 10. 2023

Tuesday October 10. 2023

Weather was likely the craziest this group has seen for archery moose hunting. Rainy, windy and extreme heat but that didn't prevent them from harvesting this bull.

Monday October 9, 2023

Monday October 9, 2023

Another morning view on a frosty morning. Not sure if you can the mist rising off the lake as it continues to cool down. Don and the girls were busy yesterday taking boats and motors out of the lake for the season. The fall clean up list will continue over the next...

Sunday October 8, 2023

Sunday October 8, 2023

Our view this morning, no fog rising off the lake as it's just above freezing. We're enjoying a quiet, restful morning as this is our Thanksgiving weekend. If weather continues to be nice, we might just take a trip into Horse Falls.

Saturday October 7, 2023

Saturday October 7, 2023

This is our view this morning, 0C and frost has covered many things. We have our new outdoor wood stove fired up so we're toasty warm in the house. I took Connor to Thunder Bay on Tuesday as he was flying home. We'll miss his help and all the animals will miss him as...

Monday October 2, 2023

It's hard to believe that we are now in October, just where did September go? Well, we've had plenty of guests enjoying some fall fishing and some archery moose hunters. Today would be a great day to get out on the water, we're actually in a heat wave warning - can...

Tuesday September 26, 2023

This was Bryce's first fishing trip to Hyatt's and within his group, he caught the biggest walleye. Fishing has slowed down, it seems the fish are also preparing for the winter. It's a nice morning, a moose morning. A little wind has picked up, temperatures are mild...

Monday September 25, 2023

Monday September 25, 2023

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.

Wednesday September 13, 2023

Wednesday September 13, 2023

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...

Tuesday September 12, 2023

Tuesday September 12, 2023

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...

Monday September 11, 2023

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.

Saturday September 9, 2023

Saturday September 9, 2023

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...

Friday September 8, 2023

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...

Wednesday September 6. 2023

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...

Tuesday September 5, 2023

Tuesday September 5, 2023

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.

Monday September 4, 2023

Monday September 4, 2023

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...

Wednesday August 30, 2023

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...

Tuesday August 29, 2023

Tuesday August 29, 2023

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...
