Introductions

[plowjock]

Thanks for the welcome to the Kipawa Board. Our first trip is planned for early July 2021.
Might also be going back up later in the year, depends.
You have to have goals and something to keep you busy in retirement.
I know of about a dozen guys from the Farm who had nothing going on after they retired.
They didn't collect a pension cheque for more than 15 months. They were at Rest.
Keep active, keep busy. dementia loves an idle mind.

Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to join.  From Huntsville, Ontario and an avid hunting and fishing family.  Looking forward to getting on the Lake this spring.  It's been too long

Hi everybody, thanks for the site.  I've spent 15 years in Temagami on fishing trips with some guys from work and 12 years or so renting usually 2 cottages a year with my wife and two girls all over Ontario.  We finally decided to find a place of our own and now have a spot on Kipawa.  I've been a paramedic for 26 years and have 4 year left to retire...luckily the shift work allows me tons of time off and so will be up a lot this year.  If you see a black Hewescraft with a white E-tec hanging off the back, pull me over to chat.  Tommy

Hi Friends, I'm new to the forum and new to Kipawa.  I've fished the Ottawa Valley mostly and enjoy lake trout and walleye fishing.  I connected with a lady who has a cottage on a small lake  (Lac Honorat).  It is near Fugereville and my understanding is it is about 15 minutes from Kipawa.  I figure I'll be spending a lot of time up there and I'm pretty pumped to get out fishing this spring!

I'd like to thank everyone for the wealth of info on this site.  I have a lot of reading to do and will hold off on asking questions right now as I'm betting most/all have already been answered.

thanks,

Kevin

Im Bruce Beckman and a young 77 years old. I grew up on Lake Erie so naturally fishing is in my blood after spending endless days on the lake. I first started fishing in Kipawa 1961 and used to take 30 day canoe trips with a friend in August for 5 years and traveled to a hundred plus lakes in the area.  The draft called me in 1965 so joined the Navy and spent 24 years. I then worked for NASA for twenty years and retired and stay bored!! I live in Gulfport Mississippi on the gulf coast and have continued to journey back to the Kipawa area every summer. It?s not like it used to be in the Kipawa area but everything changes. I?ll continue to return as long as I can breath. Everyone have a great day and keep fishing!
