Update WINTER AND SPRING 2015


 I met the ZEC road guys just coming in with a new culvert yesterday, and they were heading up Little Green to replace the one below.


The beaver dam is less of an issue, not sure if they did anything with it, though it was dry yesterday. This was from the 10th May.

We completed the chimney install in Cabin 1, along with the stove.It's quite the view from the peak, let me tell you.

Claude is going in today to do the final fittings, install some stove cement around the joint of the Vermont Casting stove and stove pipe, and attach the stove pipe sections together as a unit using metal screws. He will put a larger section of rolled steel protection on the floor. I advise whoever is using the stove to read the manual or ask how it is used. The club never had a slow burning stove like this, and it can get very hot. The chimney pipe needs to have a thermometer on it and the fire burnt at the right temperature to prevent creosote.

The docks were installed at Cabin 1, but the 'passerelle' or section going to land is pretty bad, so be careful. Claude will assess and call me with some suggestions.


Pierre Brunet drove up with the two 'french' patio doors for Cabin 3 
and we offloaded and covered them near the boathouse. If someone brings up a old tarp to cover them up, it might work better than what we put up over them.

The fishing was tough, but all told we landed 40 trout, some close to 2.75 and 3 lbs. The weekend before was 39, also large fish.

The last time I was up to the tower was in 2002, but the road was rough then. It seems like Hydro has made efforts to improve it and we drove all the way up, no problems.









 Now back to March 29th....

Cabin 2
Although spring is here and we've been up fishing two weekends, in the month of March, Pierre Brunet and I traveled in to the lake for a two night stay. Temperatures were -28 at night and we augered a hole through 56 inches of ice in front of cabin 4. We were surprised to see the ice off the lake when we arrived back up two weeks back.
