Kipawa Fishing Forum

@Fort Wisers I can possibly help. I am up Kipawa til June 28th. Can we link up to discuss the first week of July?

Welcome to KFF @Kipawa41  !
Have a great weekend everyone

Good day KFF patrons,
I'm posting here to indicate that I no longer have the bandwidth to continue on dealing with the administrative duties of KFF.
Since Chris (@Hodgey1), Greg (@Greg) and myself took on the admin roles from Nancy a few years ago, we have made many changes and improvements (at least we hope users see them as improvements) in the background to update functionality and improve security of the site.
While it has been fun building upon what Nancy created, it has not always been easy and at times requires a fair bit of time (often time sensitive) and the hosting costs are borne from our pockets as ad revenue is very minimal due to our limited site traffic.

While I can't speak for Chris and Greg, I can say that at my personal point in life (married, career, two teenage girls, country home, cabin etc etc) I have no time at this stage to continue the work here at KFF.
My hit and miss availability has caused the occasional issue with approving new members which can cause a degradation of the overall impression of the site to users.
As a result, we are hoping some keen volunteers would step up so we can hand off the torch, otherwise we will have little choice but to shut down KFF (the site hosting is renewed each April).

Please PM Chris and / or myself if this sounds like something you'd like to get involved in or unsure but want to find out what to expect.
I believe I can personally hang on for one more month, but that's about it.

Same as above. The 800 number is no good.  Had to call multiple times to get a person. Finally did about 5 pm about a week ago.

That's what I got him on fishtildark, thank you.

I dont think they are very busy but I have a reservation for tomorrow night. had the same experience but found that calling late afternoon or early eve is best chance of staff being there. may also make a difference which number you call. I got through on the 819 627 3476 rather than toll free.

They are still open, just made our August reservation.

Quote from: T-Bone on June 16, 2025, 09:28:20 AMThey appeared open a few weeks back when we went by there (did not stay there). We've been leaning toward staying in North Bay past few years as both the Au Bercail and Auberge Canadienne were quite run-down the last couple times we stayed there. The Auberge Temrose is a good option for clean and modern rooms in Temiscaming, but about 50% more expensive. But...you're on vacation...what's $50 CDN split across a couple guys?

Thank you T-Bone and I absolutely agree on the extra $50. We will have our Boxer with us and need a dog friendly place to stay the night.

Anyone know if Motel Au Bercail is still in operation?
I've been calling and just getting voicemail.
