Lee is by far the nicest resort owner we have met thus far. And the fishning at Keikewabik (spelling?) is GREAT! We almost always catch a 40" inch pike when we go the last week in May each year. I caught my biggest Pike and Walleyes EVER on the main lake in May 2001. They were a 45" Pike and a 26" Walleye! My dad, grandpa, brothers and I have been coming to Lee's resort since 1998 and I can't wait to start bringing my son (who is 5) when he's just a wee bit bigger! Aaron Christensen

Lazy. That's just what we are becoming. I know fishing is suspose to be good in Canada, but some days... What if I told you that in three boats on one particular day, in say...3 hours there were easily over two dozen walleyes between 24 and 30". Mid summer. Mid day. No live bait. Big Pike, too. You might have been near us that day fishing with leeches or minnows, catching a few fish. Other boats were watching us, wondering why eveyone was standing up in our boats. You would be very surpised to see what we were fishing with. It just goes to show you that they are many ways to catch fish. Especially in a lake full of big fish. Anyway soon we get less concerned about catching fish. It's hard to get up early. What's the rush. It's so peaceful just sitting around camp when everyone else is gone out. It's just us and the camp staff. Of course, one of the boats finally does go out. Sometimes it's just fun to walk down to the end of the dock and catch big Walleyes, Pike and Smallies within bragging distance of our cabin while everyone else is miles away in pursuit of the same. Those fish aren't always on the other side of the lake. We eventually have to venture out just because one of the others of our group does (can't let them be up to things all by themselves, might run into something interesting. Anyway, it is a lazy existence up on Pickeral Arm. Oh, and remember, when your in your favorite spot and the fish aren't biting, they are still down there...waiting...waiting for ___________ and maybe a_____________.

We sell leeches , nightcrawlers and minnows. You are not allowed to bring leeches into Canada anymore. But you can still fish with them. We sell by the dozen or by the pound. Price is about $22.00 a pound. Thanks, Lee

Water levels at the base camp are way up. It is 7-8 feet deep at the end of the long main dock. Water levels at the northern outpost camps and Lac Seul are down. Probably down 3-4 feet at least - maybe more. Hopefully some Spring showers will fill them up again.

We now have cell phones at Kabikwabik, Keikewabik and Tuk Bay outpost cabins!The towers are anolog only and some phones from the U.S. are said to work here also. SATELLITE PHONES have also been added to our remaining six outpost camps. Otatakan, Little Miniss, Wapesi River, Fawcett, Blackstone and Springpole lake. They work great and will eliminate those hard to understand HF radios that we have had to deal with for all these years. We have restricted service due to a $2.00 a minute charge. You will not be able to call the U.S. but you will be able to call our lodge at any time. The world just got smaller.

We know Otatakan and Fawcett lakes are open. We are assuming Keikewabik and Kabikwabik are open. Chief pilot Wayne is bringing back one of the planes today.

Yup, get up the crack of what? 9am or so. Relax and eat, discuss the plans for the day and get out to fish by about 10:30, always the last out of the resort each day. I lay in my bed and hear all the guys head out at the crack of dawn, turn over in my bed and smile. At Minnitaki, the fish will wait. Everybody heads one way and we head the other. That's the nice thing about a big body of water. Been fishing Minnitaki since 1980 and at Pickerel Arm for about 10 years. We've thought of going somewhere else for a change. But you know, you can go some places and catch a lot of fish. But I don't know where elso you can go and catch so many really big fish. It's addicting.
