lac des mille lacs LDML

Basically it means there will be nothing on the other location for stretches of 7 months or more. But at least we can keep in touch here.

Now how do we get that word out? I'll try posting it at the other site and hope it doesn't get dusted.

A few more we were at LDM LODGE. No problem  Crossing the border but do your arrive Canada app thing.No poultry or eggs of any kind can be Brought across the border that includes processed frozen anything.  We did not keep an eye under 17 inches and did not keep one over 20 inches    This was year 31 for me and will truly be one to remember. Good luck to everyone going up

Our group was up starting on 23 rd of May. Fishing was outstanding. 4 Guys we went through 28 dozen minnows and through crank baits. Be prepared minnows are $12 a dozen. We caught multiple large pike large smallmouth and better than average size eyes. The water temperature was 47° when we got there it was 64° when we left

I’m heading up to Pinepoint the first week in June, anyone else going up to lac Des Mille lac lake to fish this year, like planocat said, lake level should be better than last year.

Lake level starting to look encouraging after last year's lack of water.  Ice out for opener is sketchy.

Let's keep our fingers crossed for open water, safe travel, and good fishing.

For those finally able to head up this year don't forget to get the ArriveCAN app and load your ID and vaccine information in advance.  You will also then need to log in 72 hour before arriving at the border.

From Facebook: Hope this helps.

Please read !!
 Good afternoon everyone
 Hope every one is doing well and staying healthy and safe.
 Due to the covid 19 and the uncertainty of the border we will be cancelling all Americans 60 days in advance to your booking date. We have already canceled may and June . If you have not heard from us yet please call because I might not have your information?. 1-807-986-2356
 Hope to see you in 2022

Does anyone know if Open Bay Lodge is even open??

We have been  trying to contact them for quite a while by phone and e-mail and never get a response or call back!! We have been going there for many years.

Thanks for any help.

Scheduled to arrive Sat. 8-14.  Hope testing in route/border crossing goes as planned. The "within 72 hours" mandates creates some hurdles when traveling from Texas.......but to be in Paradise once again is worth every inconvenience of getting there.

Water table looks to be way down and we'll all encounter rocks we never knew were there.   So be extra careful and have a plan should the worst scenario occur.

Safe travels and tight lines.

We are arriving at Pine Point Resort after 4pm on Friday, 8/13/21.   I will post a report on how our experience was at the border.   

Heading up to Pinepoint 8/10, are you still planning on going David? Anyone else heading up this year?

I hope you are all safely navigating through the latest mutation of Covid-19.    We are booked to fish out of Pine Point Resort the week of 08/28/2021.  I am confident that the Ontario border will be open for USA fishermen again by mid-summer if you have a “Vaccination Passport.”

Tight Lines,

.....well, it looks like we are all out of luck in 2020.    Let’s hope we can all wet a line again in 2021......??????

The border is now closed until 07/21/2020.   We just changed our reservation at PinePtResort from 07/18/2020 to 09/05/2020.   Best of luck to all of you folks attempting to wet a line in Ontario in 2020!   

Tight Lines,

Looks like border will be closed until 6/21.  Canada is requesting.
