Hello from Fireside Lodge in Northwest Ontario, Canada. Our fifth week and the weather continued to be pleasant except for a few rain showers and thunderstorms, which moved through quickly.

Al & Pat Wortz from Bluffton, SC were returning as a couple for their second consecutive year and for Al it was one of many trips. Great first day with Smallmouth Bass catching them on tubes with a slower presentation, competing with the May Fly hatch, and Pat had a nice Musky follow on a tube jig. Second day was GREAT for both catching a lot of Smallmouth, and even better for Pat as she caught the BIG BASS, and with Pat’s finesse and expertise she managed to land a 32-34-inch Northern Pike with a light spinning rod on 8lb test and no leader. GRRREAT catch Pat, and nice assist AL. Third day had these two catching 7 Smallmouth & 7 Pike with Pat again catching the larger fish. Their last but not least fifth day brought them all the pike they could catch between 9:00AM and 1:00PM as they had a fabulous time catching a total of 46. Al & Pat most importantly had a fabulous stay with us just enjoying the atmosphere and having some great conversation with other Fireside guests. They left saying, “We hope to be back next August”.

Return guest since 1998 Dan Mosier with son Nathan from Lincoln, NE were back to enjoy wilderness fishing at Fireside Lodge. Few hours before supper on arrival day they caught 7 Smallmouth and 7 Pike including a big 35-incher. First full day both had a lot of action catching 20 Smallmouth Bass and 30 Northern Pike. Second day had them having a GREAT day catching many Northern Pike between 33 to 35-inches and Dan came up with a Huge Master Anglers Award Pike measuring a stout 42”. Nathan was a big contributing factor in Dan landing this fish as he was manning the cradle and did an excellent job in netting this trophy fish for his dad. Their third day was miraculous breaking all of their own personal records catching 213 Northern Pike and the fourth day was almost a repeat as they landed another 179 Northern Pike. Being exhausted from the previous two days, their final day fishing approach was more casual, still catching some Smallmouth Bass and Pike, but also soaking up the wilderness they so enjoy and would soon be leaving behind. We will see Dan again, and his daughter Abbi in late August.

Ken Benkeser from Clover, SC brother Don and his son Danny from Wayne, IL, Chris Cusik, Mike Kamp from Bolingbrook & Chicago, IL and Tony Weber from Lafayette, IN returned to Fireside Lodge after a furlough. First day was very windy and hard to manage fishing spots but all caught some fish and enjoyed. Second day they made up for lost time as the group caught over 100 Northern Pike and Mike landed an 18.5” Master Anglers Smallmouth. Third day was a carbon copy as the group caught well over 90 Pike and their fourth and final day was about half their best day. All had a blast enjoying time with old friends and Don with son Danny made some great father & son memories. Thanks for choosing Fireside Lodge.

Jerry Amer and Bill Calhoon from Columbus, OH showed up with bells on for their 5th consecutive trip to Fireside Lodge. Day of arrival after a few adjustments, they caught close to 50 Smallmouth & Pike. First full day had these guys catching 40 fish split evenly between Smallmouth & Northern Pike. Second day they exploded catching over 150 fish, a lot being Pike, and about 30 Smallmouth 5 being trophy size between 18-19-inches and four of these monsters were caught on a fly rod. In fact almost all of Bill’s fish and half of Jerry’s were caught fly-fishing. Third day was Muskie day landing three and they caught well over 50 Smallmouth Bass. Fourth and final day was a great finish as they caught 61 Northern Pike and two more Master Anglers Award Smallmouth one being a Huge 19-incher. Before departing us Jerry told me he has been fishing in Canada every year since he was 16 and none of his other fishing trips have ever been able to compare to his trips to Fireside Lodge. Both left as they came, with smiles & laughter, saying that they would be seeing us in 2011.
