Hello from Fireside Lodge in Northwest Ontario, Canada. This week’s weather brought us some much-needed rain but too much too fast as it rained 1.5 inches within 8 hours. The rest of the week was up and down have temperatures anywhere from the 80’s to 59 for highs.

Long time guests of Fireside Lodge Tom Crooks from Feasterville, Pa and Chuck Barreras from Douglassville, PA were back with daughters Maria, Andrianna, & son Stephen. On day of arrival they wasted no time going out and catching some Northern Pike & Smallmouth with Andrianna catching her first ever Pike. Second day was terrific as Chuck landed 35 Northern Pike himself, and the group accounted for well over 100. Second day was a half-day for Muskie fishing on Closs lake and half day Smallmouth Bass fishing. Closs produced in the ways of huge Musky follows, however hooking one proved to be a challenge. They did catch Smallmouth, a few Pike, and had a fun day on the lake. Third day brought heavy rain and colder air, which kept the kids from fishing but gave Tom and Chuck the rare opportunity to fish together. They decided to try for big toothy critters and after some map discussion were off to carry out there plan. Well, they had success fishing deeper rock structure areas near weed beds and caught some bigger Pike. Fourth and final day was going to be a numbers day for a big finish but the youngsters decided they would rather fish for big fish. Success was achieved as they went out and caught about 12 bigger Pike, and Chuck and one on that took him all over the place with a strong run and the head shaking all the way. Also, Stephen caught some nice Smallmouth Bass. All left with another set of GREAT family fishing memories.

Guests since 1995 Paul & Martha Weaver from Princeton, IN returned with their two grandsons James Paul Cole, & Matthew Whitter. After catching some nice Smallmouth and a few nice Northern Pike on their day of arrival, their first day was full of Northern Pike action catching about 30 and Paul came up with a BIG 40.5-inch Master Anglers Award Pike. Second day was spent catching some nice Smallmouth and a few Pike.

Third day brought very heavy rain and cold front conditions, which limited time on the water to just a few hours catching a few fish. Fourth day had them having a blast landing 41 Northern Pike on a very cool 59-degree day. Fifth and final day was a great finish as they all had a ball catching over 40 Smallmouth Bass. All went home having another set of memories at Fireside Lodge & we thank Paul and Martha for choosing Fireside Lodge for this special time spent with their grandchildren.

The Parkinson Family of father Mark, and sons Joshua, Travis, & Ryan from West Bend / New Berlin, WI, Denver, CO and Baltimore, MD were all back at Fireside Lodge to fish as a result of a great Christmas gift from Mark. First day was a severe rainstorm and cold front conditions, but four just six hours all managed to catch plenty of Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass and each caught some bigger fish. First two days were good as all caught Northern Pike and some Smallmouth Bass. The third day was very good catching 20 Smallmouth & over 20 Northern Pike with Joshua catching the biggest of the day landing a fat 36-inch Pike. Fourth day had them catching some Smallmouth and 12 Pike. Fifth day was fabulous as they had all day non-stop action on Northern Pike, catching them all day long. Too many to count was the consensus. This group I admired as they had fun whatever they were doing enjoying conversation among themselves and with others and you could always find them by the sound of laughter. It was very obvious the relationship between Mark and his sons is a very special one, and they all made some very special memories to carry throughout their future.

Frank and Linda Tyrrell from GA. were back to Fireside Lodge for their 7th consecutive year and on their first day of fishing the fought off the heavy rain, 1.5”, and cold front to catch a lot of nice size Pike, and Frank just missed a BIG Musky as it got off right near the boat. These two had a GREAT week catching Northern Pike with many of them in the 26 to 33-inch range and they said every day was a good day with a few being great catching days. They ended up landing over 125 Northern Pike during their week stay and on the final day the topped it off with each catching big 34-inch Pike, and Frank landed a HUGE 41-inch Tiger Muskie. What a fabulous finish to a terrific fishing trip.

Kent Williams and Bill Black from Atlanta, GA returned to Fireside Lodge for their seventh time and the first day was a tough one as heavy rains and cold front conditions cut down their fishing time but still managed a few fish. Second day they made up for the first as they caught a lot of Smallmouth Bass and from the discussion at the dinning room table Kent did better than Bill as he was using a wacky worm rig and Bill refused to use this method even though Kent offered Bill some of his plastic worms. Third day they tried to duplicate the 2nd day but not a chance as the Smallmouth Bass just would not cooperate. Bill was amazed at the difference in one day to the next while using the same technique in the same areas. That’s fishing and that’s what keeps all us fishers loving the sport. Last day was a strong finish as Kent and Bill caught plenty of Smallmouth Bass and both left as they came with full smiles, and still razzing each other.
