Boom, Boom, Boom Boom! That was the sound yesterday as well as early this morning in the Happy Camp Region! Hmm, whatever could that sound be? Magoo and I headed to the creek in search of Brook Trout yesterday morning and AHA, we see just what all the ruckus was about! The CN train was connecting cars in Hillsport and the BOOM was cars crashing together as they hooked them up!
After sitting about 20 minutes at the RR tracks, we decided to head back, load up the boat and put it on White Otter. We spent some time fishing and here is the report.
Water temps are in the low 60’s and fish were scattered in fresh weeds. We caught numerous Walleye up to 20 inches as well as Pike up to 27 inches. At one point, I had 5 Pike on in 5 casts and although small, they sure were fun to catch. Fish are shallow and we hope to get out and try our new Perch tactics soon.
When we came back to the dock, Herman has made his way to his summer home. If any of you remember Herman, he was quite small a couple of years ago. It looks like he may be about 22 inches now and prefers the west end of the dock. He looks a little chubby, won’t it be cool when he reaches the 40’s? So when on the dock, take a couple of morsels for Herman and have fun feeding him!
Speaking of the dock, the water is still high so boots are needed to get to it for now. Also remember your bug repellent and sunscreen as the sun is bright, today may reach 87.
Loons have made their way back and a Bald eagle soared over the lake as Magoo and I boated around, as well as this morning there was a fox near the camp which quickly took off as he is no match for Magoo!
Magoo says it is time to get to work as she wants to go swimming soon. So whatcha waiting for, come on up and Catch the Good Life with us at Happy Camp Ontario!!!
