  • Canada, Charlton ONT......hot weather, poor fishing

    Just completed our annual trip to Charlton, ONT Canada where we have a little water access only cottage. The area has been suffering a drought (sound familiar) so the lake was warm and low. Fishing was poor by the usual standards but we did catch a few fish. My wife, Ardella, outfished my daughter and I which was unusual. We had a great time anyway. Here are a few pics
    Our first catch of the trip....big mussel My Daughter caught the first Walleye, cat, and Pike of the trip...and did not catch another for 7 days except this

          Wow, if that was slow, I'd like to see average. That was a nice variety of species and some killer smallies, too.

            only smallmouth we've ever caught on the lake.....they are fairly rare in Long Lake. It is primo walleye habitat though.....when it rains a couple times a month. That is one of the biggest caught on the lake according to our friend at the Moose Haven Lodge http://www.moosehaven.ca/

                Yeah you might notice in the kayak pic how stained the water is. It is like really dark Lipton tea. I'm told this is due to the leaching from the leaves of birch and hard poplar forest surrounding it. any fish with camouflage adaptation ability is correspondingly dark. Usually keeps the lake cool to0...if there is a rain once in a while.
