5 weeks is TOO LONG!

I have 5 weeks left til my trip to Red Lake. We will be fishing a lake called Orono. This will be the first time we've fished this late in the year up in Canada. This summer has been hell at work and the trip can't get here fast enough. We always go to Viking Outposts based out of Red Lake Ontario. They are good people and the lakes are fantastic fishing. Orono lake is an awesome pike lake. We have always caught a few 40" pike in the 4 of 5 years that we have fished this lake. Is it September yet???
