Great Day of Walleye Fishing

Every once and a while you get a great fishing photo sent to you. So great that it really doesn’t even need a caption because your mind is hard at work thinking about how much fun our customers are having.

Today was just such a day! I just can’t say enough about how much this pictures says through the expressions, the laughter, and the full stringer of fish! For me it really makes me want to be back up there livin the lifestyle.

If this picture speaks to you the same way why not try to write a caption for the picture. We’ll post the winning phrases on the website and send the winner(s) one of our new maps or maybe one of our cool ogoki inukshuk pins if there are any left! Send your entries to Paul (vacation@ogokifrontier.com or to me at info@thunderbaytourism.com) by the end of July 2009.

Lake Trout Fishing Tips

Ogoki Frontier — Thu, 28 May 2009 15:44:18 +0000

It’s May 26 and the Lake Trout fishing in the Ogoki River has just started. Paul Boucher, the owner of Ogoki Frontier, is a great wealth of fishing tips about what types of fishing will work, what type of bait to use, where to try and when to try.

I really wanted to try Lake Trout fishing and Paul had said there are only two times when you can do that; now and in the fall as the Trout move in and out of Whiteclay’s deeper waters.

Close to the Whiteclay West Camp about 2 miles up the Ogoki River at the first rapids was where we had the lucky strike. We were acutally fishing for Walleye and Northern Pike and pulling them in like crazy when this beautiful Lake Trout grabbed Chuck’s line.

We were jig fishing just below the rapids in about 8 feet of water with a 1/4oz yellow jig when totally by surprise he caught the first Lake Trout of the season.

Slabbed into steaks and BBQ’d, our gang of 5 enjoyed this delicious 28 inch Lake Trout.

If your interested in catching Lake Trout I would strongly recommend Whiteclay Lake and Paul’s outfit Ogoki Frontier.

New Fishing Maps!

Hot off the press and posted on the old website for download are a complete series of new fishing maps in pdf format.

Here is a small sample of what the new fishing maps look like:

First 3 Camps opened

Ogoki Frontier — Thu, 21 May 2009 15:25:43 +0000

It is May 18 and I just got word that the first three camps are opened up. The Mojikit Lake camps survived the winter well as did the one smaller camp the crew dropped into. This year the Victoria Day weekend was a little early and snow flurries did freshen the place up a little.

This weekend we are opening Whiteclay Lake Outposts and Pickett and are looking forward to the sauna should the winter air return.

As for the fishing we did get out to try our luck and this year it might have been Paul with the bragging rights. Gotta love those early season walleye feeds! You simply can’t get as good a tasting fish out of warmer southern water

Spring Melt Started

Ogoki Frontier — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:17:28 +0000

Spring is in the air at the fly-in fishing and hunting base camp! The snow is still deep and as we stepped off the snow machine trail we sunk down some 3 feet but the sun was warm and the steps are starting to clear.

It felt really good to be back in the fresh clean Ogoki Frontier air. The Boreal Forest has a unique scent that no air freshener can reproduce; pine needles, wood and moss baked in sunshine, a scent that tickles the bottom of you lungs with ahhh!

We were up to check out that the camp wintered well, and it did. Soon the 2009 Fly-In fishing season will be here along with our valueed guests.

Only 2 Moose Hunts Left

Ogoki Frontier — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:37:45 +0000

Thanks to a successful campaign in February we are comming close to our goal for Moose Hunting Groups for fall of 2009.

If your still wanting to get in on the moose hunting action north of Armstron Ontario this fall drop us a line at Ogoki Frontier and we will see if your preferred weeks are still available.
