Duane and I are back from THE premier lake trout and pike fishery in the world-----NOT!!!!! The fishing was disappointing to say the least. We caught about 15-20 fish a day at the most and none were in the monster catagory. The trout are great fighting fish and about knock the pole out of your hands, but there just weren't enough of them. Wind blew us off the lake one day and was real bad the last two-----just ask Duane how much fun it was getting out of the 5th narrows!!!!! Highlight of the trip was Duane getting a trout on his ultralight in the fast current with 4lb test line while fishing for grayling. Great, great 10 minute fight.

Food was really good---steaks, ribs , baked chicken etc. with desserts every night. Duane even scarfed up the last piece of lemon merique pie that EVERYONE was eyeballing.

Great bunch of guys at camp---lots of stories and good times. Just not enough fish to keep everyone happy.

Saw lots of caribou and a fabulous rainbow,but I repeat-----NOT ENOUGH FISH. BUT!!!!!! There is Orono in about a week, so hope springs eternal in the hearts of fishermen. Let the onslaught begin!!!!

First time I've tried this so hope it works. Had a good trip to NY this summer and fished the mighty St. Lawrence River at the thousand Islands with Duane and Capt. Russ for smallmouth. Picture perfect weather, beautiful scenery, crystal clear water and the fishing was absolutely horrible. It's a good thing we weren't having a shore lunch, because we only would have had some of Bolser's French toast. Caught 4 small northerns, about 6 small smallmouths and 8"perch. It took a brave man to hold out his hand after a day on the water like that.

However, all is not lost!!!!Duane and I leave Fri. for THE PREMIER NORTHERN PIKE AND LAKE TROUT FISHERY IN THE WORLD!!!!! Duane's trip of a lifetime is about here. All the slimy northerns he can catch. I am looking forward to catching lakers that avg. 10-12 lbs. with the good chance of getting a 30. Nueltin Lake will never be the same!!!!!
