Loon Haunt Outposts – Looking Back on the Summer of 2015

Our 38th year simply flew by! The seasoncame to a close at the end of Septemberwhen all the cabins were cleaned, watersystems drained and winterized and theboats and motors stored away until spring.At this time we enjoy looking back on oursummer, sharing some of the highlights ofour year and keeping you up to date onwhat next year may bring.

This year we had the welcome luxury ofa leisurely opening of all our locations.Monroe Lake and Unnamed Lake were icefree on May 1st and Bill was able to launchthe airplane a few days later. Because ofrainy weather we weren’t able to get toMonroe and Unnamed until the 13th butwe made up for lost time, put in a coupleof long days and got the job done. Theportages needed minimal clearing so thatwas a good thing. Unseasonable coldweather set in with snow and high windsand we arrived at Goose Lake on the 19thto face six inches of the wet stuff. Wewere actually spared the brunt of thestorm and only had a few fallen trees toclear up in front of cabin 1. Our CanadaGeese had already arrived and werestanding on the beach in front of thecabins. We were glad to see them againand wondered where they had wintered.Luckily the stationary dock sustained nodamage and Bill made a quick trip to theriver to bring back the floating dock. Onceit was fastened to the big dock we were inbusiness. We found the lakes were all highwith spring runoff but it was not excessive.A walk throughout the camp is always oneof the first things we do and we werehappy to observe no damage to thebuildings or boats.

By the 21st we were far enough alongon the opening of the cabins at Goose so

we now concentrated our efforts on theWhitelaw and Poirier locations. Again,Mother Nature was kind to us and therewere no trees down or animal damage.Rainy weather then set in and the alreadyhigh water levels came up another 6 or 7inches. The boat ramps at Goose werepulled up as far as they could possibly goand we needed the rain to stop or wewouldn’t be able to pull the boats up ashigh as Bill liked them. Thankfully the lakespeaked the first week of June and then along dry spell saw things return to normallevels.

Finally the much anticipated daysarrived as fishermen began to fill upcabins. After a long winter, it waswonderful to see old friends again. Thefish had long since spawned and we wereoff to a grand start. I planted the flowersJune 1st, the earliest ever. A few forestfires started up after a long dry spell butthen the rains arrived to put them out.Each year we observe the same fishpatterns at Goose Lake. Walleyes tend toschool heavily in the rivers and at the baseof the 2 waterfalls and are easily caught.This year the walleyes were morescattered and long time guests werechallenged by hot spots that changed bythe hour. Guests found northerns veryactive throughout the summer.

By July 26th Goose Lake was back toMay levels due to the insistent rains. Alarge, slow moving low pressure area inmid July settled in over us and thebarometer dropped to levels not seen formany years. As the low approached thefishing was excellent but once it arrivedand settled on top of us, the bite totallyshut down. Fishermen reported seeing fishall over their fish finders but they had lock

jaw. A few days in July we experiencedsome very warm weather but for the mostpart the summer was pleasant and wewitnessed many of our signaturebreathtaking sunsets. August brought amixed bag of weather with intermittentrains and cooler weather. A big lowpressure area in late August created somenasty flying weather and guests spentextra nights in Red Lake and at campbecause they were unable to get to theirdestinations. Red Lake motels were full tocapacity and the eating establishments dida booming business. We thank all thosepatient guests affected by the nastyweather. We heard that some fishermenfrom other camps simply gave up waitingand left Red Lake.

September weather was great andfavorable for outside work. We always tellour guests that the romance with being inthe bush leaves as soon as the watersystem freezes in the fall but this year wewere not inconvenienced by frozen waterlines. The first flock of Sandhill Cranes flewover on September 6th with geesefollowing closely on September 9th. Weshut down outposts in great weather andcut and split firewood at Goose Lake. Billcompleted the few big jobs he still had onhis list. He readied the new motors atGoose Lake so they will be ready for springfishermen. By September 29th we wereready to leave camp and fly home to RedLake. My flower gardens had only beenlightly touched by frost in a few places andwere blooming right until we left. Themosquitoes were ferocious this year, rightto the last day we were at camp. Lakelevels were right back up to spring levelsand I suspect very high water will await usin the spring of 2016.

Who Caught What At:Thank you for taking the time to enter your catch on thebragging boards. We know not all big fish are documentedand we appreciate your effort in keeping the boards up todate. We enjoy reading about your success and often feelwe were in the boat with you! We can imagine the thrill ofcatching these fish and the satisfaction of releasing themso they can swim away unharmed.

Nick Z. caught this Northern Pike while fishing U Lake,a portage lake south of Monroe Lake June 14-21

• One thing I look forward to each seasonis nature’s patterns. It is interesting tonote the life cycles of all living things -the fish, birds, insects and plants. Everyyear I like to keep track of when eachliving thing lives and dies because naturehas a “calendar” for everything.Flowering plants can be seen one year inJune and then not until July in thefollowing year. Over the years I’venoticed that walleye fishing really kicksinto high gear in Walleye Alley atNechigona Lake when the orange“Cheeto mushrooms” push their wayout of the ground. Steve R. and Dave R.call them “Walleye Fungi”. This begins inmid July and lasts throughout the rest ofthe season.

• Bragging rights for the largest walleye forthe season (30 ¼ inches) went to DebbieH. at Unnamed Lake.

• George S., Jon P. and Greg H. share thebragging rights for the largest northernof the season (43 inches) George atPoirier Lake, Jon at Unnamed Lake andGreg at Goose Lake.

• Sometimes we hear a story that seemsunbelievable. When Nick N. lost afavorite fishing rod (St. Croix) atNechigona in June he thought he wouldnever see it again. Several days later heand his group revisited the area to try

and retrieve it. After some castingaround, party member Lon B. caught thefishing rod by the “eye tip” and pulled itto the surface. Nick was a happycamper!

ike and Carol W. were fishing one dayand had a few fish on a stringer tied tothe boat. All of a sudden a northernattacked the fish and actually bangedthe boat so hard that Carol was splashedfrom a few feet away. All this happenedso fast that they missed seeing thenorthern but it must have been a big

one.• Bill W. and his companions were fishing

near a mother duck and her ducklingswhen they noticed a splashing and oneof the ducklings was pulled below thesurface by a large fish (probably anorthern, but fishermen have foundducklings in walleye before)

• Casey P. caught a missing anchor andpulled it to the surface. Bill was veryhappy to get it back!

• Terry and Brenda C. were fishing all theirfavorite spots in July when a huge low

pressure area moved in and totally shutdown the bite. Nothing could make thefish bite those few days and we noticedthat the barometer was lower than we’veseen for many years.• Jon and Kathy P. like to target the bignortherns at Unnamed and this year theyrecorded many over 31 inches, with thelargest being 43 inches caught by Jon.Guests interested in catching a bignorthern should be sure to pack their“lucky shorts” like Jon P. does. It worksgreat for him!• Joe and Nell A. were fishing Poirier Lakeone day and weren’t having a particularlygood morning. They then moved to theoutflow and in 1 hour proceeded to catch50 walleye. They gleefully used up alltheir live minnows, then frozen shinersand finally just used bare jigs on the

• Nasty weather set in on August 22nd

, 23rd

and 24th

with rainy, windy weather.Keeping dry proved to be a task but ourfishermen (and women) were up to thechallenge because the fishing wasstellar.

• The Meyers family caught around 330walleye at Walleye Alley in a few hoursduring this slot.

• Dennis M. brought along a neat productthis year called a Frog Mat. It is a specialmat used on a barbecue to cook fish.The fish don’t stick to the mat and iteliminates the need to use oil. Dennisdonated it to us and we tried it out withgreat results. It is easily cleaned and rollsup for storage. Check it out atwww.frogmats.com

• Scott R. revisited us at Goose Lake afteran absence of a few years. He had meenthralled by one of his fishingescapades at Nechigona during his lasttrip. He described hooking a giant fishthat broke his pole and then pulled hispole overboard. He and his son got tosee this monster and from thedescription I can only assume it was asturgeon. Wow! We have heard reportsof sturgeon in the Beren’sRiver systemand suspected that they also inhabitGoose and Nechigona Lakes. Over thelast 38 years there have been manystories like Scott’s but we have nophotos to prove it. It makes me wish I’dbeen there to witness it though!

• For many years I have been interested intales of a Hudson’s Bay trading post onthe east end of Goose Lake. Old mapsshow the location and a date of 1789. Ihave made enquiries at the Hudson’sBay Archives in Winnipeg and havelearned that they have no record of it.And yet, old maps and accounts over theyears by explorers have all pointed to atrading post situated here. This summerI contacted a researcher originally fromRed Lake, John Richthammer, to see ifhe could glean some light on this puzzle.John mentioned that the trading postcould have been one from theNorthwest Trading Company. Thiscompany also operated at the sametime as the Hudson’s Bay Company didbut their records were not as accurateor exhaustive. I think my research has

gone as far as I can go and I now amconvinced the Northwest Company hada trading post here. Pretty cool!

• Every season we see the newest tacklebrought by guests. This year Jack G.brought along some “snappers” thatwere effective in catching walleye andRoger H. had some pretty cool sinkersthat wouldn’t get stuck in the rocks.

• We were sorry to hear that our good

friend and long time guest Don Flemingpassed away in June. We lookedforward to seeing Don and his childrenand grandchildren each year when theyspent a week with us.• In late summer Bill was eyeing thevery large poplar trees by the servicebuilding and boat ramps and decidedthey needed to go. Over the years somehad come down in storms and theprudent thing to do would be to cutthem and remove the danger of damageto people, buildings or boats. So, inSeptember, he used his chain saw,pulleys, winch and 4 wheeler and downthey came. He felled them right wherehe wanted them and hauled away thehuge pieces for splitting. The Goldeneyeducks and Pileated Woodpeckers aregoing to have to find new homes in thepoplar trees that are further back in thebush.• At Goose Lake we put into servicesome new chairs that were purchasedlast year and retired many of the chairsin cabin 3.

• Doing maintenance and jobs at GooseLake requires brute force at times andBill used his back when he was younger.Now that he is older and wiser he hasaccumulated all the tools he needs to dothe jobs without hurting his back. Thenew motor hoist he constructed thisyear is a welcome addition to the rest ofhis inventory.

Scott S. sent us this great water color of Goose Lake

• For whatever reason, the fishing belowWhitedog Falls was not as good as it hasbeen in past years. Perhaps it was thehigh water we experienced for much ofthe summer.

• We have to thank Bill W. and Bryon J. forhelping Bill remove a hook from Bob R.’shand. The lidocaine they had in theirfirst aid kit made extracting the hook anon issue for Bob and saved Bill a trip totown.

• Along with the high water of 2015 wealso experienced a bumper crop ofbothersome mosquitoes. These littlepests were especially ferocious this yearand stayed with us right to our last dayat camp.

• Our resident eagles entertained guestsall season long and some trulywonderful photos were taken of them.Roger B. allowed Bill to download hiseagle pictures to our website foreveryone to enjoy. Check out thewebsite and “2015 News” to view thepictures we all wish we had taken.

• Joe’s Island was not an especially fruitfulplace to fish this year. For whateverreason the walleyes did not school upthere as in years past.

• We can’t help but notice that many jetspass overhead at Goose Lake and wewere curious as to where they weregoing. This summer we downloadedwww.flightradar24.com so we can now

keep track of who is up there and theirdestinations. It’s interesting to see thatsome information is blocked – militaryplanes?

• We appreciate the great distance ourguests must travel to fish with us. ThisSeptember, 3 friends from Switzerlandmade their second trip to fish MonroeLake.

• Although there was wild rice to harvestthis year Bill announced his days ofpicking were over. Many factorscontributed to his decision besides thework of picking the crop. The processingplant is in Manitoba and the associatedcosts with flying the rice out andshipping 5-6 hours away had to befactored in. He is quite happy to watchthe geese and ducks fly overheadstraight for the wild rice plantation andeat their fill.

• Scott L. lost all his night crawlers to oneof our resident critters, most likely amartin or mink. Scott thought thatstoring them under the deck would bean ideal place to keep them cool but hedidn’t factor in the hungry animalslooking for a free meal.

• Bailey M. went for a walk behind cabin 3one day and surprised our resident cowmoose who inhabits this piece of thewilderness with us. This year she had acalf and they will have the run of theplace over the winter. In the spring we

will be able to follow their travelsthroughout the camp by finding thebroken branches and piles of moosedroppings.

• Each year in mid August we welcome afamily of Canada Jays to the camp atGoose Lake. They are also called GreyJays and Whiskey Jacks. Although we seethem intermittently throughout thesummer they keep their distance. Onlyin the fall do they express an interest inus and especially the food we offerthem. They will fly unerringly at ouroutstretched hands and help themselvesto most everything we give them.

Apparently they make “spit balls” andstash the food under bark and in otherhiding places. If you would like toexperience the thrill of wild birdsperching on your hand come visit us inlate August and September. I guaranteeyou’ll feel like Snow White! For severalyears we had a family of Whiskey Jacksliving near the cabin at Unnamed Lakeand those birds visited our guests allsummer long. They were fed especiallywell and guests would make a few extrapancakes each day for them. These birdshave been absent for a couple of yearsnow and are greatly missed by all ourregular Unnamed guests.• Monroe Lake was especially high allseason long and I am apprehensive thatthere will be major dock repairs to makein the spring of 2016. Bill figures theremust be a hard working beaver damning

• Some of the hardest things to come within our business are good photos to usein advertising. Because we don’t fishwith you and because all big fish arereleased, it is impossible for us to getpictures unless you email them in. Wereally appreciate the fish pictures yousend and Bill is kept busy posting themon our website. If you come acrosssome good pictures it’s never too lateto send them.

• 2015 was a super year for viewingwildlife and alert fishermen were ableto spot many species. Moose sightingswere plentiful with Gerry and Nick Z.seeing the most at Monroe Lake. As Billwas flying them back to town after agreat week they spotted 4 moosestanding in a meadow close to MonroeLake.

• On a hot day in July our guests had justboarded the plane for the flight to RedLake and were still enroute when amoose cow and calf decided to take along swim in front of the cabins.

• Some of Kenny H.’s guys were fishing atthe Honey Hole when a cow moosecame barreling out of the bush as ifsomething was chasing it. She swam

around in front of the surprisedfishermen and then went back into thebush. The Honey Hole is a good spot tosee wildlife and Steve R. and Dave R.observed a garter snake crossing the riverbehind their boat. They wondered if thedanger was worse from below the wateror above for the snake as eagles like toperch nearby and watch our fishermen.• Doug S. and his party had a rareencounter - a family of beavers with theirkits sitting on top of a beaver house.• Trumpeter Swans are spending thesummers in our area and the Lon B. groupspied a pair with 6 little ones inNechigona. These same swans were seenoff and on by other guests throughoutthe summer. There was also a pair ofswans that nested in the bottom of southbay but they were very elusive and wewere unable to discern if they had youngones.• The pair of Canada Geese that arrived

at Goose Lake before us in the springnested somewhere between the campand the river to Nechigona Lake andvisited the grassy area in front of thecabins over the early part of the summerwith their 4 goslings.

• Members of Jim S.’s group saw 2 caribouat Monroe Lake this September andWally B. and Richard D. had a bearsighting at Whitelaw Lake. Dave W. andRichard S. mentioned seeing a bear anda caribou at Poirier Lake.

• We were the recipients of many treatsand shared meals over the summer andwe would like to thank everyone forthinking of us and bringing alongspecialty items from their part of thecountry. We enjoyed freshly pickedgarden produce throughout the summerthanks to you! Scott S., a long timeguest, sent us a beautiful water colorpainting of our camp. Thank you somuch for thinking of us Scott! Thepicture is hanging in our Red Lake home.

• Marty D. found a rather interestingcharacter hiding in a piece of firewood.We have set it prominently near thephone in the computer room soeveryone can enjoy it. Thanks Marty!

• Our guests are very “hands on” andalways lend a hand when somethingneeds to be moved or lifted. We thankyou all for helping load and unload theairplanes, haul lumber and even takefish entrails out for disposal.
