If you’ve noticed a lack of posting on this site during the last two weeks it’s because I’ve been way up north at this location: Caesar’s Lodge. More specifically, four of us spent a week at Caesar’s Gouin #1 cabin in northern Quebec.
We had a great time fishing for northern pike and walleye. While we didn’t “slay them” as some of the other fishermen claim to have done, we had sufficient action to satisfy our modest requirements without being on the water more than 8 to 10 hours a day. With the solstice, there was light from 4:30 Am to 9:00 PM and we could have caught even more fish if we had pushed it, but we were there to relax as much as fish. We caught enough walleye to have a great meal and pack 16 fish in the cooler to bring home. (We only bought two licenses that allowed us to keep 8 walleye on each. The other two were for catch and release only.)
In addition, we had to teach some manners to a 300 pound black bear that thought the cabin was as much his as ours. I blame the two groups that were there before us for that \situation. One must have been feeding him and the second just treated him with “respect”. We taught him a lesson using a borrowed shotgun and some #6 birdshot. I think he got the point.
We should have used the second shell on a red squirrel who gnawed his way through a metal screen—why he didn’t come through the fiberglass ones, God only knows—but we were too soft hearted.
I’m still at the Bolt Hole in the Adirondacks using dial-up service. I’ll be posting more on our trip when I get back to PA and a more high-speed hook-up in a day or two.
