Good Morning Happy Campers, Catfish Chris here with an update from the Happy Camp Region! The wild weather continues to raise havoc with the fish, bugs and of course the Campers! We have gone from highs in the 90’s to just above freezing. Yesterday while in Hearst it was well into the upper 80’s but as Magoo and I made our way back to Happy Camp Ontario, the rain came and heavy clouds and windy were the norm. As nightfall came, the wind continued and heavy storms pounded us all night. Early this morning the rain stopped and as I write the sun is shining and the wind is subsiding a titch!
With all the wild weather, the fishing was up and down all week. Some days the fish would be very sluggish but others they ate like crazy. While at Bound we would pick one off of a spot, then have to move to get another and the Pike were no where to be seen. At White Otter one night in the trough, they were stacked like cord wood and eager bite often as the bait settled to the bottom. Holy Hot Dog Ray and Dale, that cord of fish was so big it was hard to think there was any room for water!!!
We now are in the midst of the May Fly hatch. In fact on Bound Lake the large brown ones are all over the place while on Ichi and White Otter the small ones are just starting, the bigger ones are still to follow and the Hexegena’s seem to mark the end which maybe in a couple weeks if the weather shifts to more of a normal pattern! Weed development is behind schedule and the fish are still quite dis-oriented as this result.
Speaking of normal, the bugs have shown up with Black and Sand Flies along with Mosquitos peaking just near dark then slowing down while at the campfire.
Magoo and Sadie want to thank Lexi Young for her time and playfulness the last few days. The 2 Happy Camp Girls certainly do miss you already as they look onto your deck with tails wagging waiting for you to come out and play!
So we will close out the month of June getting our hunting stuff going, we may have another partner to join Happy Camp Ontario to assist our hunters in continued success, stay tuned for updates!
We have a few limited spots so whatcha waiting for, shoot us an email or give us a call today to save your spot to Come and Catch the Good Life with Us at Happy Camp Ontario.
