| May might be too early. I'd consider June.
|
| 460.2 | more specifics needed | POLAR::WASHER | | Tue Aug 01 1995 03:27 | 22 |
| 1. WEATHER:- Depends how far north you are considering going, rest
assured that for the most part it will be a little cool, especially
further north.
2. Where to go:- Well Canada is a big place, and the fish species you
are interested in might determine where you will go, nothern ontario
northern quebec or maybe upto the Northwest territories(monster lake
trout, 40-50 lbs, Great slave lake).
3. Any time in may/june would be fine, and most lodges that are fly
in have guide services available, so finding/catching the fish
would not be a problem.
4. Once you have some more specific ideas/questions, i would be glad
to try and answer some for you.
from the great white north!!!

| 460.3 | more specifics provided | MIMS::KINSER_J | | Tue Aug 01 1995 12:35 | 23 |
| Hi,
Thanks for the info.
We have some friends who live near Toronto so I was thinking of flying
into there, spending the night, and then driving North from there.
We are looking for Northern, Walleye, Smallmouth and probably going to
stay away from trout.
Are there any good places North of Toronto that you know of?
We will have about 7 days to play with for the entire trip and would
like to keep the drive out of Toronto to under 8 hours. What would the
weather normally be like following these guidelines the last week of
may?
Hopefully this is enough specifics for you to narrow the selection.

| 460.7 | I had to look it up... | SUBPAC::CRONIN | | Thu Aug 03 1995 10:07 | 24 |

C = 5/9(F - 32) .....or..... F = 9/5C + 32
OK, here's a approximates:
C F
0 32
10 50
20 68
25 77
30 86
35 95
40 104
The only place the scales match is a -40 (Trivia)

| 460.8 | do you need more info?? | KAOM01::WASHER | | Sun Aug 06 1995 22:27 | 9 |
| If you would like some more info, you could provide me with your mail
stop and i could send on some information from a recent fish magazine
I have that has a small report on lake nippising and the fishing it
also has a list of about 10 lodges etc on this lake, My original
estimate as to distance from Toronto was wrong, I don't even think it
would be a 4hr drive.

| 460.11 | Gogama Lodge? | WMGEN1::abs001p1.nqo.dec.com::SalesRepresentative | | Fri Aug 11 1995 09:35 | 19 |
| You might consider Gogama Lodge, Box 127, Gogama, Ontario POM 1WO,
705.894.2770.
Dick Harlock has a base lodge and cabins which a clean & comfortable. He
serves complete & enormous meals. He has commercial rights on 46 lakes in
the area and will fly you in and out. Some of the lakes have cabins on them
where you can stay overnight or longer.
Some lakes are all Pike or Smallmouth. Others have Pike, Smallmouth and
Walleye. Others have brook, rainbow or lake trout. These lakes are not
overfished - you will be alone on the lake you fly to.
Wilderness, solitude, wildlife, quiet, all the fish you care to catch.
Located a couple of hours north of North Bay. Must be around 400 miles from
Toronto.

| Although I have been living in Canada since '81,
I still can't get used to the Celsius.
While sitting on the highway, commuting to the office,
I convert by: multiply by 9/5 and add 32. It keeps your
mind busy.

| 460.14 | Barrage Gouin | SMURF::HOLT | at least I'm enjoying the ride ... | Thu Apr 04 1996 10:40 | 12 |
| OK, so how did anyone make it to the Great White North last year? Last
reply August '95...
About 6 of us headed up to an area north of Montreal, a place called
Barrage Gouin. Mostly just fishing for the big northerns. This will
be our first fishing excursion to Canada, all the past years have been
to Moosehead with mixed success, but always a good time.
If anyone has any knowledge of this place and can provide some info it
would sure help.
