This week was a relatively quiet week in terms of guest numbers at Miminiska Lodge, but the fishing was outstanding. The McCabe group from Wisconsin, were here for their 14th consecutive year and they reported that the fishing was the best they have ever had. The amount of walleye and pike was remarkable and the size of the fish also had them excited. They had particular luck exploring shallow reefs, then fishing the drop-offs to hit it big with their Rapala’s.

The Melnychuk’s from Niagara Falls, flew in on their own float plane and also reported having the best fishing trip of their life. All we heard around the lodge all week was that the fishing was the best they have ever had up here. With their guide, Thomas Nate, they were hitting more walleye and pike than they could handle – or count! With no Master Anglers this week, we are not disappointed, as the quantity is bringing all the blokes and sheilas back to the bar each afternoon very, very happy.

Project Healing Waters soldiers arrive on July 16th, and we are really looking forward to catching up with the mates we met last year and saying G’day to the new ones. All of us know, it is going to be something special. It so easy for us to give a little, for those who have given so much.

Hoo-roo for this week and no worries.
