Good Morning Happy Campers! As many of you know, I teach music and soon will be returning to North Dakota to keep building our music program in Rolette! Big Muddy is a Jazz festival in southern North Dakota that I aspire to attend with the musicians that I am teaching!
As I drove Bear Baiting yesterday I crossed the Fraser River, and as I did I looked to the left and noticed the river was very muddy. I thought wow they must have gotten a lot of rain in the past day. Then as I looked past a blow down laying in the river, a Bull Moose lifted his head out of the weeds and looked at me! Aha I thought, there is where the mud is coming from! So as the Bull romped out of the river into the bush, I named him Big Muddy and immediately I thought of the students and festival! As I turned the corner onto the trail north of the river, my thoughts quickly changed back to baiting but believe me kids, music thoughts run rampant in my mind and soon we will be working hard to make the Hills alive with music again!
Last weeks fishing was tough to say the least. Mayfly hatches, weather and wind continue to make fishing a roller coaster. Woody from Indiana pulled in a beautiful 26.5 inch Blue walleye to top the week and Dave was close behind with a 25 incher. Thursday the guys did pretty well, then yesterday the fish seemed to slow again as some local chaps got only a few Pike for their efforts.
Bear Baiting is in full swing, all baits are being hit on a daily basis. Our hunters are starting to see the Bear on the cameras, hope they continue to travel to the baits as the Berry crop is starting to ripen. I picked the first Blueberries of the season, they are small, but looks like a good crop, time will tell! There appears to be a Mom and baby Bear frequenting the dump, so watch out if going to drop off some stuff, the little fellow just might poke his head out of the pit, that could get very interesting to say the least.
Until next time folks, take care and whatcha waiting for, Come and Catch the Good Life with us at Happy Camp Ontario!!
