Let the action begin

How long does it take to unload the aircraft, organize camp, get onto the water and hook the first walleye?

High Water

Posted by Brad Greaves on Friday, June 15, 2012 at 6:54 am

We are struggling again with high water on the lakes. Seems only a short while ago I was lamenting the low water situation. Things can change around here quickly.

I suppose a dock under water isn’t all bad considering where it is. Being at an Ignace Outposts camp certainly beats sitting in an office thinking about fishing.

If I don’t get some fishing photos soon from our guests, I’ll run out of these little gems. Yesterday I posted the intro-duck-tory flight. That was an anthropomorphism. Here is another. I wonder, did this hawk get his fishing licence on line or did he visit a licence issuer? I have posted before that fishing licences are now available on ...read more.

Intro- duck-tory flight

Posted by Brad Greaves on Wednesday, June 6, 2012 at 9:26 am

When learning to fly, pilots take an introductory flight to see if it is something one really wants to do. Usually the instructor will begin with an introduction to the aircraft and its basic parts and their functions. Then they will board the aircraft and the instructor will perform some basic manoeuvres and and let the student pilot take the ...read more.
