We have had at least 3 master angler brook trout caught recently, all caught on fly at Middle Falls, with the largest being over 22 inches. Our first trips in June to the Freestone & Cohen Rivers were successful and produced over 20 beautiful brookies.

The Walleye Mine has been the place to be with most of the walleye averaging between 18-22 inches with white twister tails doing most of the damage, of course when there are plenty of walleye around the big northern pike are close by. We had 2 master angler northerns come in this week, 40.5 and 41 inches, both of these were caught trawling daredevle spoons along the drop off at Caribou Island.

Snake Falls has produced some nice northerns around the mid to high 30s (inches) as well as decent walleye being caught in the eddies alongside the falls.

Ferguson continues to fish well, with both pike and walleye in abundance, just last night a master angler walleye was landed, our 3^rdfor the year. A 22 inch whitefish was also landed on fly there.

The deep waters of the narrows (close to shore lunch island) is still fishing well for walleye and northerns. With guests catching a good mixed bag there, twister tails, spoons and rapalas have been doing the best here.

With the water being extremely low for this time of year, the honey hole has dried up a bit, you’re still in with a chance for walleye, but have to work a little harder for them.

GUEST COMMENTS:

-Every year the trip is different. This year we saw two black bears and a cow and two moose calves after the brief Petawanga portage. Trophy walleye two years running at Ferguson Creek. Tons of fun with a 31 inch Northern at a place we have come to call Magic island. He broke off 3 jigs on the south side of the island and then Jay hooked and netted him at the side of the boat to find one of the previous jigs still hooked in his jaw. Don’t know what he was looking for but he sure found us. Just missed rush hour outflow at the honey hole which was just ridiculous last June. Food and staff make the trip relaxing. Rejuvenated cabins with newer firmer mattresses are a wonderful makeover and addition.

-We have done 25 plus different fly in trips over the years in Canada and this year at Minimiska was the best we can ever remember all time! We have already reserved and paid deposit for 2020!!!!!!!

-Great lodge. Terrific staff. Most accommodating.

-Our camp was switched to Miminiska due to ice on lake at Makokibatan. The Camp Personnel were attentive, courteous and always helpful. Cabins were great, food very good and timely. Boats and Motors were top notch and dock hands were always there
