Bought my camp in 2012 so 7 years but I go just about every weekend. I average about 15-17 weekends a year.
My cousins and I have been getting together for May Long Weekend fishing since 1977....Lake Temiscamingue, Rabbit Lake area and now Kipawa.
Everybody is a genius.

it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

We bought our camp in 2004 but we lived in the area for a while a few years before that.

17 years and counting. Missed 2 years due to military duty though.

29 years for me total but missed actually 8 years straight as this was my first time back to Kipawa since fall 2011.  Total of 42 weeks or a little less than 2% of my life has been spent at Kipawa... Hmm seems short when you think about it that way... but the memories will last a lifetime..

My dad has been going for 56 years but had missed maybe a dozen years scattered here and there for various reasons but he went and goes between 2-4 times per year still..

I have been coming to Kipawa Lake since 1983. Started when I was 33 years old. For the past 5 years I now come 2 weeks a year. My 2nd week is coming up this Saturday June 22. Next year I would like to do a fall week.

This will be our (my husband getthenet and I) 30th year going to Kipawa. All at 3 Seasons. One year we made 2 trips. One in July and one in September. For about the last 15 years we have been staying for 2 weeks.

This year is 8 for me, unless my memory is missing a year (I have been known to make a mistake on occasion).   
Dog;  double check my number.

This is 10 for you @SgtCrabby (according to our Hook, Line & Drinker blog...your first trip was in 2008 with 2 USA trip years in there)

This will be my 14th year dating back to 1979 (first year)


One more cast...

Although @Dog, those first 2 years were to Lake Evelyn in Ontario  (but TBL is almost closer to that lake than TBL is to Lake Ogascanan.).   So in a way, we're both correct.

Actually, if you want to count years of Canadian fishing; I have a year in 1971 in Quetico Provencal Park (Ontario side of the Boundary Waters Canoe area).  Paddled my tail off that year ...
So 8 in Kip, 11 in Canadian waters for me.

Deb and I went annually from 2003 thru 2014 and also in 2016 and 2018  1 trip with my son in 2001 so all adds up to 15 years and hope to get back in 2020!

   Been Kipawa bound for 37 years straight.  Love it. Alwaki Lodge every time. Twice a year a lot.  It is a disease!
