Rap Video of their fishing trip to Canada

We just added a new favorite on our Fly in Fishing Channel on YouTube, and we’ve included it here for you to enjoy!

This “Canada Video” was sent to us by what could be the most creative family fishing trip group that we’ve ever had stay at one of our Outpost Cabins! They sure look like the whole family had a great time making this Rap Video of their fishing trip to Canada! Check it out:

Loganberry Tales

Loganberry is where we’ll be
Flying here straight with Kashabowie Outposts

With our friend Fern this place is tight
You can get yourself here in half an hour flight

This lake is great and the cabin is kickin’
You can catch yourself some fish and you’re finger lickin’

This place is the best and we wish we could stay
eat sleep and fish, every single day.

So now lets kick it, to the first verse
Common now Jake, just like we rehearsed.

The weather is perfect, not to hot or cold
Put this place for sale, and two seconds it’d be sold

You can swim if you want, but it’s a little chilly
and when you start to shiver, you’ll look really silly

So we make a fire, so big it burns a tree
You can say goodbye to your eagles and your bees

Where my momma lets my beard, grow out long,
and she tries to write verses to her own song.

Where I don’t need to stay and clean my dish
Instead I get to go out and catch a fish

It’s Canada, that’s where we are
Just ask Fern, cause it’s not that far.

The water’s cold, I’m not gonna lie,
but deep inside is the big walleye

Sleeping on the bed is nice and comfy
you won’t fall off like humpty dumpty

No other places have showers this nice
Look no more, Fern’s got the best price.

Only a three mile walk to the can,
hope I don’t get jumped by that shadow man,

This cabin is bombin’ I don’t really mean to diss
But do really need this bridge to take a piss?

I love it here, it’s all fun and good,
but my homies be callin’ they need me in the hood.

I can’t wait to get back to the USA
I guess Canada wasn’t all bad – ‘eh’?

Thanks for the memories, we had a lot of fun
but now I’m sad, cause it’s all done

I’ll miss fishing, playing too,
but we snuck 50 fish back,
so the joke is on you!

My best fish was only this big
It made me so mad I’m going to snap to this twig

You have a contest, picture of the year
That idea might get old we fear

It’s all about the creativity
We’ll always be the winners, don’t you see?

Thanks Kashabowie Outposts!
We’ll be back!

Fishing and Travel report to Ear Falls, Ontario, Canada

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 19:29:35 +0000

Hello everyone,

We are still receiving questions about Hwy 502 as a travel route to Ear Falls and then onto Woman River Camp. Hwy 502 is presently being paved. Guests inform us they have experienced delays of 10 – 60 minutes in total. Usually by a flagman. Our summers are short up here so the road crews even work weekends.

South Bay Road was graded last week and is in good shape. We received an inch and a quarter of rain last night so hopefully there weren’t too many soft spots. Watch out for our Ontario Hydro crews changing out some of the poles along the road.

Camp life has been great. Lots of water in the lake….not as much as last year. I blew the belt on the lawnmower so the grass is a little long. Blueberries are ripe and people are out picking them.

Ok so now that all that info is out of the way. Lets move on to the important things like fishing report.

Not many anglers are fishing portage lakes this week. Snakeweed has fished well and so has Spot Lake…42 inch Northern along with a couple 18″ smallies highlighted the Swanson family’s portage. We are catching fish everywhere this week. Some guys are trolling spinners along weed edges and catching nice Walleye and others are fishing 18-20″ deep with jigs and catching big Walleye. The heat in the middle of the week made the day a little slow….no wind and sunny. Not the best Walleye fishing conditions. This brings me to a good point. It is great to plan a fishing day and set out to target specific species. Just remember that sometimes it is better to catch what is biting than to fish for what you would like to catch!

Bait wise, leeches and nightcrawlers are picking up steam. Minnows are still holding their own. Walleye are consistently being caught on mid lake humps and points. Hot jig colour of the week is black. Black and orange spinnerbaits for Northern Pike for the eater size. Be prepared to go deep for the big guys!

Smallmouth on the rocks!

Lake Trout – 10z jigs and some bait.

Walleye – Lindy rig – sliding weight and a hook. Coloured hooks sometimes help!

That’s it in a nutshell. Don’t forget to become of a Fan of Woman River Camp on FaceBook! Check out our great pics.

Have a great day!

Jig and a twister tail!

Fishing summer Walleye and Northern Pike in Canada

Fishing summer Walleye and Northern Pike in Canada

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:19:40 +0000

Our fishing has been tremendous of late. Pull up to a windy shoreline and start casting with a search lure. Catch a Walleye and switch to a jig and minnow. Seven feet has been the magical depth for the most part. We are starting to see Walleye move to rock humps and points but the weeds are winners these days. Lots of small minnows in amongst the weeds. Don has been coming forever. We are his fourth camp owners. He caught his biggest Walleye ever a fat 28 incher on a jig and rubber grub. Not two miles from camp.

Trophy Northern Pike have become a little harder to catch. Lots of crayfish in their bellies.Trolling deeper, 10-20ft or again working the weeds with a spinnerbait. White has been a hot colour. We have been topping out lately with 35 fish.

Smallmouth are hitting anything you toss. You just have to present it to them.

Water levels are above average for this time of year. Bugs haven’t been too bad.

Looking forward to another fantastic week of fishing at Woman River Camp.

We are half way through our 2010 fishing season and would like to thank our guests and share some of their fantastic photo’s. We always appreciate the great video’s and photographs they send us.

Each year we have a photo contest for our guests, and the winner gets to go fishing on us during the next season. This contest is a challenge we enjoy each year. There are so many fantastic photo’s it makes it difficult to pick the winner. Here are some of the great photo’s we have accumulated over time.

Lake pictures are always great, there is no shortage of beautiful scenery in Northwestern Ontario.

Pictures with Aircraft in them score pretty high as well. Fishing or Boating pictures work well, like this shot at Wapikaimaski lake.

A shot including one of our outpost cabins is a sure bet. Like this unique shot out the front windows of Tommyhow lake

This is a great picture of C-FOCC departing with a canoe.

Different lake shots with varying weather conditions, can be interesting.

This is a real nice shot off the dock at Loganberry lake.

A shot that included one of the outpost cabins in it would be almost impossible to pass up as the winner.

Keep the pictures coming in, we love them all.

New Upgrades For The New Year

Congratulations to the Winner of the “Win a Fishing Trip” Contest!

Some of the Loganberry crew on there way to do some Walleye fishing. They left Kashabowie Outposts this morning to start their fly in fishing trip. Loganberry is a fantastic Walleye and Northern lake that offers a full service cabin that can sleep 12. With hot and cold running water, Shower, dual fridges. There is also an ice house that gets filled each year depending on the ice and snow conditions.

This was one of the smoothest flights we have had this summer. It was 60 F at 5500 ft, a flight to remember.

Learn the secrets to bass fishing! Reel them in every time!

Practical, step-by-step guide to learn the secrets to bass fishing! Reel them in every time!

==> http://budurl.com/bassfishingguide

Dear fellow Angler,

Do you wish that you knew the secrets of bass fishing so that you could make your time out on the lake more productive? Sure, it’s great to hit the water, feel the sun on your skin and spend a relaxing day fishing, but wouldn’t it be great if your time fishing could be productive and you had more to show for your efforts?

* Do you want to fish like the Pros?
* Understand the behavior and habitat of Bass?
* Learn the techniques guaranteed to reel them in?
* Master the required fishing gear?

Some people just seem to be natural fishermen. You know the ones. Those guys that just seem to reel them in and know where are the great fishing spots are-without any effort at all!

Now there’s good news

I won’t deny that there are a ton of books out there on bass fishing. The problem with a lot of those books is that they are filled with plenty of promises and no solid techniques or strategies to back them up. If you really want to learn the secrets to bass fishing, you need a comprehensive guide that will show you everything you need to know to succeed.

Bass Fishing Essentials breaks the mould of all the other bass fishing books you may have read and heard about. It gives you the proven, solid steps you need to learn how to fish like a pro!

Ontario Fishing Outpost

Brian — Thu, 13 May 2010 01:19:33 +0000

We are very excited about the opening of fishing.

The water is low and with the early ice out and warm water temperatures the Walleye and Northern are going to be hitting hard. We have started opening our camps and have noticed very low water south of the base. We were at Loganberry lake and found the water to be at mid summer levels. The bush is very dry so having camp fires would be inadvisable even when there is no fire ban currently in effect. Bass fishing in fact all types of inland lake fishing should be Dynamite.

Each day that goes by gets some lucky Fishermen one day closer to winning the Kashabowie Outposts Win a Fishing Trip Contest

Hope to see you all this Summer for some Fantastic Walleye Northern and Bass Fishing.

Smallmouth Bass, Walleye OR Northerns!

Smallmouth Bass tend to stick to open water. All you need is light to medium action spinning rods, I prefer a bait casting rig with a 6 foot medium action rod and 8 to 10 pound test. Fly fishermen can have a great time with Smallmouth. I’m not a fly fishermen but am interested in getting information about Bass fishing techniques with a fly rod.

In the spring Bass like most inland lake species will be in the shallow water, so top water baits, Chuggers and Poppers seem to be the way to go.

In the summer you can find these hard fighters on the edge of weed beds, under water islands, rocky points in deeper water. The lure to use is a 1/8 to 1/4 once jig with a twister tail, black,purple, amber, yellow and white. When its all said and done you can’t beat live bait, Crawlers, Minnows, and leeches will fire up the laziest fish.

A fish locater will help you find the structure you want to try.

Set your trolling motor at a crawl and cast it towards shore bouncing your jig off the bottom as you search for your spot.

Once you locate the terrain you want to fish, drop the anchor and start pulling the Smallmouth in.

There are some new regulations regarding Smallmouth, follow the links to the new rules.

Have fun fishing and don’t forget your Passport!
