In response to Jiggin' Fool. With a fly rod I target SMB and pike.  I use a seven weight rod and primarily fish shore line structure and shade on the top.  Popping bugs and deer hair bugs seem to work most of the time.  Using a sink tip line seems to be inconsistent.  I have hooked up on 3-4 lb bass on the long rod and it is chaotic/riotous to say the least.  My boat partner does not fish but finds SMB on a fly rod to be humorous. 
Likewise experience with pike.
As far as walleye, not on my fly rod list.   I do try for walleye every year for a hour or two but have no success.  I lack patience.

During the day time, I seem to do better with a spin rod using a wacky rig, drop shot or single hook Mepps Anglia.

OK, seems there is certainly some current love out that for our KFF. Let's keep it going then, at least try for another couple of years..........more to follow early next week.

Apologies for almost giving up.
Thanks everyone!

I'd be interested in how you fish with a fly rod on Kipawa and what you target.  Is it mainly the bass, or walleye too?  I'd imagine the bass must be a riot on a fly rod.

This will be my fourth year coming to Kipawa.  Having been to a number of other lakes in Ontario, I have come to like coming to this destination.  The fishing has been good at times, now so all the time.  This forum has provided so much information to me that its existence has greatly helped my trips here. 
I don't post a lot as I primarily fish with a fly rod and I feel like an an oddity.  However, I have read many posts and try to follow what is going on.
I too, feel the loss of the this forum would be a loss.

I do not post very often, but sure enjoy some of the information and pictures.  Last winters ice watch was a fun distraction while waiting for spring.  Would hope that we can keep going with this forum.  I did join Reddit for a couple of days, but didn't find it very easy to navigate and have since deleted the app.  I understand that some of the guys who have been members for a long time find that not a lot of new information is discussed, but the new people have the same questions as they likely had back then.  Thank you for the work in the background.

Though I am not a frequent contributor, more of an asking questions type thing.

I absolutely love browsing the comments and seeing the trip reports.

I would hate to see it go.
