Come on guys/gals
We are officially into a new year.
In my opinion it's been a terrible year for ice fishing and with this warm weather, we should be getting ready for the open water which mean booking your annual trip to Kipawa.
Ice out may come sooner than you think this year( but I'm sure that will be another thread)
I'll start with my Booked outings so far
Friday June 9 for the weekend
June 24 for one week
September 2 for one week
July 21- July 28 for us this year. Can't wait!!
June 22 is drive up day. Can?t wait.
I will be moving back to camp for the summer in April. Can't wait.
July 15 - 22nd, Can't get here soon enough
The first weekend after ice out I'll be heading to the cottage.
July 29th thru August 12th.
@RHYBAK - beyond terrible year for ice fishing! First time in 50 years I'll never get out.
July 21 thru 28!

Us too! Fingers crossed for early ice out, it would be nice to be up there in April again.
Our neighbours were harvesting ice by our camp, they reported only 8" black ice and 4" slush ice on top.

Hi Greg, where are you booked this year ?
I'll be camping in the Hunter's Narrows area 5 or 6 weekends this summer. It's a nice little spot.
Will also hit Simcoe for jumbo perch in late April.
Also fishing Lac Seul for 10 days in June with my son.
Heading to camp tomorrow morning, can't wait, it's been too long.
Just locked these in:
Trip 1 - 5/26-5/29
Trip 2 - 7/28-8/4
I believe Greg and Hodgey overlap with us on Trip 2...
Can't wait!
Lac Dumoine July 18-25. My first trip to Dumoine was 1980 and we went in by canoe up the Kipawa River. Like most of the Kipawa area it has some monster pike and great walleyes! Can?t wait!!

A+ facility Mike. Ive stayed there multiple times the last few years. Great fishing, all close by and top notch cabins. Love Alwaki
I am same as Joe
As soon as snow is gone enough, so I can drive into camp
RHYBAK -
I see you'll be up there for the same week in June as us. Where are you staying? Maybe we could make a connection.

2 weeks
Oh man, two weeks straight sounds soooo good! :)
Totally agree. There was never a week long trip that I didn't want to stay for another. I found it usually took a good three days to get really mellowed out.

Our group has been staying at Awaki Loge for over thirty years. We have had great fishing over the years. I was just wondering how the fishing is in that area? We usually go in the second week of June. Was curious, Alwaki is up for sale. Thanks.
