Arriving early with no noise had some unexpected benefits last Wednesday as I chanced filming a female moose leisurely swimming the bay in front of camp 2.

Friday afternoon we were hit by torrential rains, even large by Green Lake standards. Guess what? The windows facing the lake leak like a boat full of holes when the rain comes sideways like that.


By any standards our club has been incredibly occupied this season, and (other than my poor catch this past weekend) the take has been awesome. Average weight by one cabin was 2 lbs with a 2-3/4 lb speckie by John Moore being the largest reported so far.


 The new fibre glass boats are working out really well. Lightweight but still stable, and easy to get in and out of the boat house.  Two things we request of all members and their guests however. No house hold or other chairs in any club boats, and tether them so they do not bang or rub against the docks or each other.

After hearing about the 'welcome-in' dinner invite by the Moore bro's Alec and John two Friday's past I was sorry to have been unable to attend, as I understand it gave all a chance to exchange exasperating stories and fishing lore.

The last weekend in May early June is filled up again with Rod A, Tony F, Jon and Pierre and.... a returning face, Chris Bonin and his two boys. He is not the only Dad who brought their family up this year as James Moore Sr fished again with his two sons, and Tony was up with his son. Thanks to them we have a little more firewood! Fishing and nature still remain awesome ways to bond with your friends and families, no doubt.

Dock work continues. Claude, guest Jeremy Price -Williams and I worked on anchoring docks at 1 and 3 camps and I towed the old dock platform away on Saturday. Jeremy was only up for the night to check us out, but word has it he is pretty set on joining. The McCusker crew helped us to position and anchor this  8 X 16 dock at their Camp 3 on Sunday.  PLEASE BE WARNED the old rock crib still exists directly in front of this cabin barely a foot under the surface. It is marked as you see in the photo by an orange buoy, and until it is removed or lowered, it will remove your cotter pin, shear pin, or even the foot off a motor or the bottom of a boat. We have fire hose to install as bumpers but need around twenty lengths of 2 x 4 x 8 feet treated wood screwed along the outer edges of the docks with the hose tacked on over these lengths. I also thought we could insert those pool noodles inside the hose prior, but that might be overkill.

Camp 4 is now ready to accept small parties. A new water pump has been installed along with several 'brand new' mattress delivered courtesy of John McCusker and his upholstering company. There is a small propane bar fridge. I mention 'bar fridge' as groups will most likely require a block of ice and a large cooler for extra items. At the moment we have not had time to lay the new deck on this cabin. All in all it is nice seeing the beds full. We promise to work some on more improvements and welcome your comments as always. 

Camp 3 now has a new dock, but members and guests are warned not to dive off the front as the old rock crib is still there! Same thing for Camp 1
