Gene
Chamberlain goes on an annual fishing trip to a lake system in western Ontario,
about 250 miles north of the Minnesota border. This is a "fly in" (pontoon
planes) trip, but the accomodations include nice cabins with good bunk beds, hot
showers , indoor plumbing, etc. Gene has been "outfitting" a group of his
friends to go on the trip for the past 25 years. He is offering to reserve a
week in June of 2012 for our TJ reunion group in 2012 if anyone has an interest
in going. Gene will help you coordinate all gear, packing, travel, food, and
Gene will be your personal guide and cook for the trip.
The fishing
lodge has been family owned for 32 years by a family who lives in Kansas during
the winter, and who lives on site in the camp all summer. The closest town is
Red Lake Ontario, 65 miles away. There are no roads into the lodge, it can only
be accessed from the air. The camp accomodates both "stag" groups as well as
couples. It is very neat and clean. Please go to www.bullmoosecamp.com for pictures and
descriptions of the camp, services and the fishing. The lake and river system
includes three major lakes, two of which are over 10 miles long and there is
only one fishing lodge on each lake with no other commercial or residential
development.
Gene needs a
minimum of 3 people - - - up to a maximum of 9 to accompany him (ie, a group of
at least 4, and no more than 10 total). If you have an interest or have
questions, you may contact Gene directly as noted by phone or email below, or
you may speak with him at the reunion. (Again, the trip would be for June
2012). One picture is attached which shows the float plane arriving at the dock
of the lodge, while the second includes Gene and a friend with a 42.5 inch
northern pike caught by Gene.
This trip would
be a real thrill for those of you who like to fish but have never been on a
Canadian trip before.
