Hi Happy Campers, Catfish Chris here with a brief update! The Dock is in and I put a boat in and took Larry fishing for a while. Water temps are about 58 degrees in various spots in the lake. Weeds are slow in developing and the bug hatch is incredible with Mayflies all over the place.
We caught nice Pike up to about 25 inches and Walleye over 28 inches! In the bunch of Walleye, which outnumbered the Pike, we had around 8 or so over 20 inches! We did keep a couple of smaller Walleye and Pike for supper tonight! As I hoisted the walleye out of the net, I said Larry where is the camera? Of course it is in the lodge, but such is life, that big girl is still swimming and either learned its lesson or will devour another cute bait in hopes that the lucky angler will let her go to swim again!
As Larry brought a Walleye to the net, I noticed a large shadow behind the Walleye. At first I thought Pike, but as the fish sunk a little, turned and waved its tail, white was visibly seen. That fish was bigger than my 28, maybe a 30 incher, who knows, ,maybe you will find out??
Please remember to bring your favourite insect repellent as the Black Flies and Mosquitos are quite healthy already! Weather forecast calls for intense heat early next week, if that comes then maybe it will kill this first batch of bugs, keep your fingers crossed!
Hopefully soon we will have new reports and who knows what will happen next! So whatcha waiting for, give us a call or shoot us an email today to save your spot to Come and Catch the Good Life with us at Happy Camp Ontario!!
