Fireside Lodge Fishing Report 6/26 to 7/3 2010 Part 2

Fireside Lodge Fishing Report 6/26 to 7/3 2010 Part 2

Hello from Fireside Lodge in Northwest Ontario, Canada. This week’s weather brought us some much-needed rain but too much too fast as it rained 1.5 inches within 8 hours. The rest of the week was up and down have temperatures anywhere from the 80’s to 59 for highs.

Dick Kile with son Rick & Charlie, & son-in law Brad Evans and grandson Brandon all from Schnecksville, PA and Chicago, IL were here to fish and make family memories together. First day was fabulous despite the cold front and heavy rains as they ended up catching 45 Smallmouth Bass, several Pike, and highlights of the day were Brandon catching his first Northern Pike and landing a 17.5-inch Smallmouth, and Charlie caught two 18-inch Master Anglers Award Smallmouth. WOW!! What a great day. Second day was FANTASTIC as the group caught 76 Northern Pike and Brandon came up with the special catch of the day landing a 35” Clear Musky, which was his first Musky ever. Third and final day was back to Smallmouth fishing, catching over 30 along with a couple of Pike. For this family group the fishing was great, fun continuous, and the memories made were unforgettable and priceless.

Father and son Chuck and Charles (Skip) Kauffman from Mechanicsburg & East Liberty, OH returned to Fireside Lodge for their second time. Three days is what they had and they wasted no time catching 29 Northern Pike on their first. Second day had these two catching 18 Pike and some Smallmouth, with Chuck catching a Master Anglers Award Trophy Smallmouth Bass measuring 18-inches. Congratulations to Chuck. Third and final day (boy 3 days go by fast), they caught many Northern Pike and Skip had a fishing milestone as he landed his very first Musky. Great going Skip!! They both left saying they had a terrific stay with us at Fireside Lodge and took home some fond father and son memories.

Murray Meierhoff and Don Hilgers from St Louis and Rolla, MO were fishing at Fireside Lodge for their first time. First day was very short for fishing time as a rainstorm and cold front created tough fishing conditions. Next day was a good day as they caught Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Murray broke the ice landing the first Muskie. Bigger Muskie, Northern Pike, & Smallmouth are why Murray and Don choose Fireside Lodge. They did well throughout their stay catching many Pike in the over 30” to 35” category and Murray ended up landing three Muskie with his largest being a fat 38-inches. They also had some good Smallmouth Fishing with Don landing an 18-inch Master Anglers Award Bass. Both had loads of fun and expressed they had a great stay with us at Fireside Lodge

The Meyer family consisting of three fathers and each if their two sons Marty, Jake, & Jordan / John, Nick, & Mick, / Bob, Jake, & Mitch returned to Fireside Lodge for their third time in four years. This family was here for a quick three days of fishing and they filled every minute out on the water. They caught a lot of fish and had loads of fun taking a break every day to have a long shore lunch and enjoy the Twin Falls area on Little Vermillion Lake. This gave the boys the opportunity to investigate what the forest has to offer, swim by the falls, and cook over an open fire giving them a total outdoor experience. They also celebrated Mitch’s birthday which was a big event. All had a lot of fun and made some special memories between fathers, sons, uncles, and nephews, which were simply priceless. Thanks for choosing Fireside Lodge for the third time to make some special family memories.

Father & Son David and Marc McFarland from Pendelton & Muncie, IN returned to Fireside Lodge for their eighth consecutive year. First day was cut short by heavy rain and a cold front, but not before David and Marc caught some nice Smallmouth & Northern Pike. When they came in to dry out Marc said that of the 1.5-inches of rain that fell 1-inch ended up in his boot. Instead of fighting it they took a long nap and stayed warm & dry. Second day these two caught 17 Smallmouth Bass & a 30” Pike. Third day was terrific as they combined for 42 total fish, 33 being Pike & 9 Smallmouth, with Mark catching two big 17.5” Smallies. Fourth day was 17 Smallmouth, fifth they caught 14 Smallies and 5 Pike, and their last day was finished with a bang catching a few Smallmouth and 40 Northern Pike. Both went home Happy & Sad, as another memorable fishing week came to an end, but they can already look forward to their return in 2011 as they made their reservations with us before leaving.

Ryan & Lisa Matthews from Winnipeg, Manitoba were at Fireside Lodge for their first time to enjoy their 10th anniversary. Enjoy is an understatement as Ryan and Lisa had a FABULOUS time staying with us at Fireside Lodge not only catching fish but taking in the whole package of wilderness, scenery, wildlife viewing and everything else a natural setting in the boreal forest wilderness provides. After having a bunch of nice size Pike following their lures they came to my tackle shop for advise on how to turn these follows into catches. After a good discussion on how fish attack other fish and presentation of different lures they purchased some Blue Fox Spinners and X-Raps, then they were on their way to apply their skills. Well, when they returned with big smiles on their faces I knew the results would be positive and they were as they caught a bunch of Pike having loads of fun doing so. Another success was their discovery of how to fish with leeches and how much Smallmouth love them. After some instruction and again the application of their skills, Ryan and Lisa had a ball catching these ever fighting bronze backs. These two were having so much fun that they decided to skip the traditional Canada Day, (July 1st) fireworks in Sioux Lookout to enjoy the wonderful natural sounds and scenery from their cabin deck as the fire flies gave them a very quiet and peaceful light show for this special Canadian Holiday. We thank Ryan & Lisa for choosing Fireside Lodge to enjoy their special milestone of marriage.
