That is excessive.

You think? It snowed more today.

That’s it for me, I’m heading back from Fort Albany on Wednesday than staying in balmy Markham till it hits 25c in the north.

Will have to dust off the FJR for a while, the Vstrom will be snowed in for weeks.

I still pour it on my weeds between the drive way and garage

I take it to my local farmer buddy and he uses the oil to lubricate the chain drive in his manure spreader.......more useful than dumping it in the ground

Today’s ride - ATV to the mouth of the Attawapiskat River at James Bay.

View attachment 77677

Is that the mouth of the river? I fished a week a Pym Island several years back and it was an amazing place

Yes, where it meets James Bay. Pym island is due west, fishing is similar, but more pike than walleye. Shore fishing in Attawapiskat is mostly pike and walleye - trophy’s are plentiful.

Once you get north of Temagami, trophy pike and walleye are easily accessible - flyin trips are more about the experience than finding trophy. That said, you do need local knowledge to go where the fish are. Some days I go barbless so I san shake off pike without landing them.

On any given day I’d get 20+ pike, 8lb walleye and 25lb sturgeon downtown Timmins. There’s a hundred places I ran reach by road within 50km for trophy lakers, brook and Aurora trout.





All 10 minutes from Timmins.

Hey @Mad Mike how are the roads up there right now?

I have a work thing that might take me up there for a night in a week or two and debating if I should ride up if I should go.

Clear, I rode from Porcupine-Iroquois Falls-Cochrane then back to Timmins today. Roads are clear of sand, spring repairs on potholes are done.

It’s as good as it’s gonna get!
