Winter is almost over! Spring is right around the corner, mild temperatures are going to start doing damage to the ice on the lake and our days of working by snowmobile are quickly coming to an end. We got a lot done, which should make opening day much easier!

One more sport show to go and it’s a big one! We’ll be heading down to Grand Rapids, MI for the Ultimate Sport Show March 12th – 16th. It’s the grand daddy of them all, with lots of tackle, outdoor gear and seminars all four days. Look for us in booth 1156. Located right downtown, the show is surrounded by great restaurants and plenty of nightlife! Saturday is Irish on Ionia downtown, so be prepared for lots of green beer and fun activities!

Greetings from the frigid Northern Ontario bush!

It’s that time of year when our crew heads into camp by snowmachine to start our winter projects. We have a few jobs to complete before ice out. Most of the winter work is on Loch Island this year. A new room on the staff building will be great for the cook. Changes to Cabin 6 that include a new floor in part of the cabin plus a lot of much needed trim work are also on order. We’ll need several trips in to get all the work done. Between the sport shows and working around the lake in the winter, we keep busy!

                         

Our friendly neighborhood fox shows up every day begging for food scraps. They’re big ones this year with full coats and appear to be eating well. It’s good to see them thriving in such harsh conditions. Lots of Moose tracks along the trail into Lochalsh but so far no live sightings. It’s been cold, with night time lows in the minus 30 range and daytime highs not much better. Spring can’t come fast enough!

              

Next week we’re heading to Outdoorama! This is one of the oldest sport shows in Michigan. Held in Novi at the Suburban Collection Showcase, it runs along with the Cottage and Lakefront Living Show. The show runs Thursday, February 19th – Sunday, February 22nd. We’ll be in booths 5603 & 5604. Stop by and say hi!

 

Hey everyone!

Our January Sport Shows are over! We had a great time in Novi, at the Ultimate Fishing Show and found a bunch of great ice fishing gear for this winter! After Novi we travelled to Ohio for the Northeast Ohio Sportsman Show. Now we are so full of fry pies and need to work it off snowshoeing around Lochalsh! We just want to say thank you to everyone who came out and said hello. It was great seeing everyone and talking about being up at the lake. May is coming quicker than we think!

Hey all!

The Ultimate Fishing Show has come and gone, we’re on our way to the Northeast Ohio Sportsman Show in Mount Hope, deep in the heart of Amish country, south of Wooster! It was great seeing familiar faces and chatting with everyone in Novi! We left a few dollars short after purchasing some outdoor gear for ice fishing and working up the lake later this month! Just a heads up, we will be doing a second show in Novi, the Outdoorama in February so stay tuned for that!
