From one trip to another. Wednesday I left with my father in law Dan, brother in law Ryan, Kevin Korner, Ernie Giddens, and Ben Giddens to go fishing in Canada. We traveled to Separation Lake Lodge just north of Kenora, Ontario Canada.
Upon arriving we were taken by taxi to where we thought would be the lodge. Instead we were arrived to see all of our luggage stacked up on a dock. After about five min of wondering what was supposed to happen next, a boat pulled up to the dock. We loaded all of our luggage and seven people into an eighteen foot boat and took off across the lake. After a fifteen min boat ride we finally arrived at a group of cabins on a point overlooking the lake.
While at the lodge we were treated to three meals a day. Eggs, choice of bacon or sausage, and either pancakes or french toast for breakfast. We had to work for our lunch everyday but on the lake it wasn't to much work. We would catch walleye every morning for our lunch. We had our lunch caught by 10:15 everyday though. With the fried walleye we also had fried potatoes and onions, cream corn, and pork and beans. Dinner was steak the first night and ribs, pork chops, and fried chicken the following evenings. Needless to say we never went hungry.
Each day we had a guide that would take us around the lake to all of the best fishing spots. Ryan and I had a guide named Daren. Daren was very optomistic. He was always saying "I feel a big one in this hole" , "It's happening" , or "That's a good sign, no little ones biting means there is a big fish in here."
Overall the trip was great. Beautiful views, great fishing, and good times. We brought back 48 walleye filets and 14 northern pike filets. Ready for a good fish fry. We were not allowed to keep any smallmouth but we caught plenty. I can't wait to go back.
