went out of atikokan, ON. first time back since 1985. Used to go for a week every summer with my dad and brother when I was a young teen. Bro and I decided we needed to take Dad back as his 70th birthday present. Weather was shitty, but we made the most of it. Temps were in the 50s most days with lots of wind and drizzle. Here are some pics....
If anyone is interested in a canoe trip with good fishing at a VERY reasonable price....look me up.
getting ready to leave: we were able to use this 18.5ft kevlar canoe to get in as we had 2 aluminum canoes stored at the cabin....but we ended up having to fish three to a boat just so two could fish and one could keep the boat from crashing against the rocks.
food for 5 days:
too rough/rainy to fish first day, so we fished around the island 100 times and this is all we got:
first full morning greeted us with a ray of hope...but it turned to shit a little bit later as the wind came back up and the rain started. BUT it turned out to be our best day of fishing despite the weather. I feel certain we landed over 50 bass that morning.....
cold and wet but catching fish:
plenty for supper:
