Hi everyone, Catfish Chris here at Happy Camp Ontario! The fishing still has its ups and downs with heavy Mayfly activity and hot and cold making it tough to figure out a definite pattern! Yesterday we had a tough time catching fish but were able to put enough together for a wonderful fishery with our guests from Wisconsin.
As Larry and I were drifting along some structure, I heard a weird sound and said, Hey Larry do you hear that? Larry did not say anything, and I started to say, It sounds like a Moose, when I look to the shore and see not 1, nor 2, but 3 Moose standing in the water! Larry and I watched them for a few short moments, then they hopped into the bush and disappeared! What a beautiful sight!
We also have a Bear near camp, he was sighted in town and this morning as we left to head to Kapuskasing near Hillsport Lake. Jeff, Larry, Angus and I traveled to Kap to have Angus, Jeff’s new beautiful hunting dog checked as he has been sick! Great vets at MCM in Kap, and Angus appears to be well onto the road of recovery!! In fact, just before coming in the lodge to write up this update, Angus was raising cain jumping on Larry and biting with those razor sharp puppy teeth. That a Boy Agnus! Speaking of hunting dogs, of course Agnus is a Lab, the only hunting dog, right!
The woods is alive with baby Grouse, we have Spruce and Ruffed near Camp, no Sharps yet, but they prefer the more wide open areas. They certainly have enough bugs to eat, heck I think there are enough bugs for like a gazillion Grouse!!
Good berries on the bushes now, so if timely rains and heat keep coming, we should get some picking, that will be great!
As we settle into summer, we stop and say thanks to all of you who have made our 5 years fly by, where have they gone? I guess time flies when you are having fun, eh! We have a couple of spots left open, so if you are looking to book an adventure, shoot us an email or give us a call to reserve your spot and Come and Catch the Good Life with Us at Happy Camp Ontario!
