Fall Maintenance
Do you wonder what we do around Ignace Outposts when fishing ends?
In the fall we go through all our outboard motors – all 88 of them. Every motor is tuned and checked and repairs are made or motors are tagged for trade.
John from Metionga doesn’t just come out of the bush in the fall and put his feet ...read more.
Flindt Lake Fall fishing
Ever wondered about taking a FALL trip to go fishing?
Wes Peters and his group tried Flindt Lake just before our hunters went in. Here is a little note and testimonial.
Brad, we had a great time! Good accommodations, good fishing-likely about 400 fish in total for the 5 of us in 3 days-actually ...read more.
Thanksgiving

The fall ...read more.

1948 or 2008?
At two of our outpost camps we have camp attendants. Joe our camp attendant at Seseganaga Lake was caught doing his laundry on his cabin deck. When you spend the summer “in the bush” you make do without some of our modern conveniences. Joe has a ringer washer to do his laundry. It works well. Looking at a picture like ...read more.

How high was it?
This July we saw some of the highest water levels we’ve seen in years. At Seseganaga Lake, Joe filled barrels with water to help hold the dock decks down so they wouldn’t float away.
Water levels have since receded to the point that the docks are now a couple of feet out of the ...read more.
