Hey fisherman.  This is Bob and I just joined he group and do not know why I didn't join sooner.  My son and I have bene traveling from the Cleveland Ohio area for since 2010 to Taggart Bay Lodge for week of fishing and bonding.  We head back up in one week (wish it was this week during the RNC!) for our 7th trip.  Have to say the best part of the trips has been sharing and watch my son acquire the love of fishing and gain the appreciation of the beauty of the Kipawa region.

I'm originally from the Chicago area and love those sports teams, but it was great to see the city of Cleveland finally get an AHL and NBA champion this year.  I am in the financial services industry and love the fact that cell reception is generally challenged at TBL so I feel great turning the phone off!

Hello everyone!

I am a resident of Cambridge, Ontario.
I work at a Toyota car manufacturing plant, and when I am not stuck in the factory I love to be outside.
When I met my wife she had been going to kipawa for years with her family. After seeing the place I immediately fell in love. We signed up for the old forum, and spent 8yrs lookin for the right camp to buy. Made a couple offers on places, and even had made an agreement to buy the Landreau outfitters outpost camp on Mackenzie off the previous owner, sadly that fell thru...
Finally we bought a camp in Ontario, on the lower French river.
3 seasons later...we are back!
We are considering selling our current place and looking again in kipawa.
Hope this time we find what we are looking for.
Although this time we realize that we can do with much less than we were looking for before.
We may even consider an empty lot, or a lot with bunkie etc.

Fingers crossed we come across something!

Cheers everyone!

There are many vacant lots available in the red pine area.
Good luck with your search!

Hi there,
Name is Patrick from Waterdown, Ontario. Lived here for 7 years, prior to that was in Montreal.
Married with two kids. 43 years old and an Investment Advisor with TD Wealth.
I have been going to Kipawa for 4 years but must say that I am still a newbie when it comes to knowing where to fish this lake.
I enjoy reading your posts and learning from them.
I am happy to share what little knowledge I have on the lake.
Cheers!

Hi Gang

Surfing away here on this wintery day  Snowing and blowing  hat happened to April?

Found this site and had to join.

I hope no one will hold  it against me  LOL   But I bought a camp on Lac Temiskaming last year.

Took possession in August  Lots of water to explore

Got into some pretty good fishing over there for Walleye and some Smalmouth Bass

Nothing huge in the Walleye dept but lots to eat.  I did get a couple honest 5 lb Smallies

Looking to find some Pike and Lakers this year

Anxious to get back up there

Won't be long

Cheers
Rick

My name is Brandon. I'm from Pennsylvania (north of the "burgh") but now live in North Carolina. I'm a teacher and coach. My grandfather, uncle, father and my self have been going the Canada fishing for over 30 years. We started at Kipawa in the mid- 80's (can't remember the name of the lodge, only that it had horseshoe pits and a pool table in the main lodge). Then went to Andy's (Watson) in the 90's. Then life and family got in the way of the trips till the early 00's. My grandfather and uncle have pasted and now it's just dad and I, and I've promised myself come heck or high water I'm never missing our yearly trip. We re-started are yearly in Ontario and never done the fly-in thing but, the lure and the memories of the Watson area has really drawn us full circle......

Hey @Muchadoaboutnothin, you will find a number of folks here are from 'north of the burgh' or live there, including our administrator.

What part of NC are you calling home? 
I have a brother in law that lives there (he's also a member of our Kipawa crew).

@Muchadoaboutnothin Hey Brandon, our group has been going to Watson since 1988 (and some before that).  Love that place!  Are you going this year?

Hello, my name is Remo. I live in Mississauga, Ontario.
I mainly fish for walleye in Ontario, but also target salmon and trout on the Great Lakes.
Only fished on Lake Kipawa once many years ago.
This may be the year I get back there. I have a week of vacation at the end of July and looking for a place to relax and do some fishing.

Cheers !
