Our friend Erie recently spent June 5 to June 12, 2010 at one of Silver Water Wheel Lodge’s outpost cabins. They stayed at an outpost and not the main lodge. He sent me a bunch of pictures. So, I have put them into a picture report.
Erie gave Silver Water Wheel Lodge all 5 stars and you can read his review on their page. But if it is true a picture tells 1000 words, here’s several thousand words to get you introduced to Silver Water Wheel Lodge.
I love the soundtrack to this video. They are fishing Jungfrau Lake in Ontario. I assume they are doing in through Leuenberger’s. Looks like a terrific time. If you are considering this outfitter, it has some good video of what you can expect in the accommodations.
While this video takes place in Minnestota, the information on bobber fishng for walleye is useful for any trip where walleyes are the target. I have always respected Gary Roach. His walleye knowledge is incredible, and he is an excellent teacher.
Kevin Geary, owner of Angler’s Kingdom, and his son Hayden recently blogged about seeing wolves on a woodland caribou.
Here is an excerpt form the post…
We came in the night before, got up had breakfast and headed out to ice fish. As soon as we came around the corner , right behind camp, I saw two black wolves had a Woodland Caribou down.
We took some photos and video. We followed the tracks about 6 miles down the lake and the two black wolves had hearded that Caribou all the way down keeping it out of the bush. They went right past the front of the camp- probably about the time we were cooking breakfast. If we had looked out the front window we would have seen them. It would have been awesome to see the fight. I’m sure that Caribou didn’t give up easily Another set of about 40 Caribou trampled another path across the lake and also went right by the front of camp -probably in early morning.
The next morning Hayden and I walked about 50 yards from the camp to the back side of our island. We video taped the wolves who had been joined by two grey wolves and one mottled.
They weren’t friends and it showed. Plenty of fighting.
I received word that Bush Country Camp is now under new ownership. Here is the information from their site about the new owners.
Let us introduce ourselves as the new owners of Bush Country Camp. I, Norman House and my wife, Chantale Lefebvre are northern Quebecers who raised our 5 children on a farm, and we are now 5 times proud grandparents.
Our family, found at Bush Country Camp a well-maintained and respectful of nature operation that we were looking for.
We fully agree to continue applying Art’s 20 years of in-house regulations on fish-size, and are very environmentally minded people. We intend to continue and upgrade the standards of Bush Country Camp.
Anytime there is a transition of ownership, there is a bit of fear of the unknown for previous customers as well as future customers since the new owners don’t have a track record. I have no personal knowledge of the new owners but hope that anyone spending time at Bush Country in 2010 will let us know about their trip. I wish the new owners the best of luck.
Showalters is not one of our listed lodges but maybe it should be after seeing this video. It looks they had a great time. There are some big fish in the video. They fished Hammerhead Lake.
Kevin Geary, owner of Angler’s Kingdom, put up some videos on catching trophy northern pike. He should know fishing Nungesser Lake, which is full of big trophy pike.
I don’t understand much of what they are saying in this video as they are speaking french. But the excitement of catching a big pike doesn’t need a translator.
