Photo of the Day

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.

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...

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,...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
