Minipi Camps Web Log

June 13th to 20, 2007 Season Update

The first week of the season is now under our belt, and what a crazy week it was. Camp start-up is always hectic and last week’s unseasonablely hot weather coupled with the rash of forest fires threw a wrench into the gears of our logistics machine. As some of you may already know, a forest fire seriously threatened Minonipi Lake Lodge, but I am happy to let you know that all is well, and the fire is now fully extinguished.

Then we had nearly a whole week of bright sunshine and scorching temperatures reaching into the high 90’s. This dropped the water on average 9 inches a day and slowed the action. We had 4 anglers at Anne Marie Lake Lodge, and the insects were hatching everywhere, but few brookies were moving until yesterday when Richard Schriber booked a 5 3/4#, a 5 1/2# female, and a 5 1/4# male in Portage Pond. His fishing buddy, Chad Leland caught a 5# male and a 4# female in the Beaver Pond plus a 2 1/2# male in Portage pond. Great work guys! Dr. Marc Lavoie and his beautiful wife Helen are still fishing, so I will include their information in the next week’s blog entry.

Mr. Schriber told us that water temperatures in Beaver Pond were reaching 70 degrees Fahrenheit but a recent rain has helped lower the water temp and improved the fishing quite a bit.

NEW COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITIES:  Minipi Lake Lodge will be joining Anne Marie Lake Lodge in the wireless high-speed internet club! Like Anne Marie, Minipi now has a new state-of-the-art dedicated high-speed internet satellite, iMac computer, wireless system, and internet-based phone system. This will give our Minipi guests greater flexibility in staying in touch with their loved ones, checking up on that business deal, or to just plain brag about all the BIG BROOKIES they are catching!

Check out Richard and Chad’s brookies in the photo gallery.
