Hi Folks, Catfish Chris from sunny, warm and windy Happy Camp Ontario! Larry and I have made it to the Happy Camp Region and here is the update as of June 7, 2017.
Our first campers showed up today and we hustled to get the cabin ready for them. We have some CN contract guys spending time with us. As I write which is now quite twilight, they are pounding away working on the rails! One good thing about working all night, the bugs can not be as fierce as they are during the day.
Black Flies and Mosquitoes are everywhere. We have been working outside and it seems like just when we find a spot that the bugs have not found, another swarm finds us. Never seem to figure out a great bug dope, but the Thermcell certainly does kill its share.
White Otter lake levels are dropping as the area has not seen rain in a couple of weeks. The first mayflies, brown drakes, were seen last night while we were catching dinner on the Oswain and ditch down the road from Camp. Larry caught some fish, was pulling a nice one up the shore his line snapped! Oh well, another day and another story to tell, right Larry!
For those traveling soon, there is some road construction on Highway 17 south of Wawa, about 20 miles, so take care when coming to Happy Camp. Also, Highway 614 has a few stops, but not as major as 17. The gravel from Manitouwadge is in good shape for this time of year, just dusty. The first Moose of the year was seen near Sonley, so look out for this nice fellow, his horns are growing daily. Hopefully he will venture up this way to hide out for hunting season, never know do you?
Speaking of hunting season, Happy Camp’s Bear hunts are full for 2017. I often wonder why we fill out tags so quickly and a guy told me the other day, its pretty simple, when you find the Best, forget the rest! All I know is our hunters are the best and no one works harder to put the adventure of a lifetime together for them!
When it comes to adventure, there is all kinds of logging going on and the river is open when one searching for Speckles should have a great adventure. Never know till you try, and we certainly can put you onto the spot. All you have to provide is the energy and creativity to experience the time of your life!
Soon camp will be full of fishers and other outdoor enthusiasts. We can not thank you enough for choosing to come to Happy Camp and take time out of your busy schedule to spend some time with us!
We do have a few spots open and will find room for you, so whatcha waiting for, give us a call or shoot us an email to save your spot to Come and Catch the Good Life with us at Happy Camp Ontario!! Thanks and take care.
