News from Upper Manitou Lake, Ontario,

Letter to Green Island Lodge...from Jack.

Muskie...1st one!! On the first day, Calvin, age 6, casted a top water creeper lure maybe only 10 feet from the boat, twitched the lure, and a huge muskie attached viciously.  (Zoom in to see small, dark colored creeper lure just outboard of Calvin's left shoulder.)  Bryce, who at the time was fishing on the other side of the boat, with the guides attention on Bryce's fishing, too, suddenly realized that he better turn around quickly and grab Calvin as Calvin was being pulled overboard.  At first Bryce and the guide thought that Calvin's lure might be hung on a stump with the boat floating away. That initial opinion was upgraded in an instant.  Calvin had hooked a huge muskie by himself!  Calvin fought the huge muskie for a long time and then reeled it in almost all the way by himself, with a only little help required from Bryce near the end after the muskie had headed for underwater cabbage.  Calvin's trophy muskie was 42 inches long!   Many experienced muskie fishermen have dreamed of experiencing, but have never experienced, a trophy top water muskie fishing experience like Calvin's.  Calvin, who started off only mildly interested in fishing instantly transformed into a celebrated, proud, passionate, skilled, confident muskie fisherman for the rest of the trip. Calvin may now have earned the title as the best 6-year-old muskie fisherman in the history of the world.    In addition, Liz caught & released a huge 47" muskie, Matt caught & released a real nice 38" muskie, and Matt & Lydia caught over 120 northern pike, ranging in size up to 12 lbs, in two hours one afternoon; before the family arrived, Jack caught and released a 19-lb walleye and six muskies ranging in size up to 51-1/2" long & 43 lbs (weighed in the net bag).  Everyone, including 5-year-old Adam, caught a fish by themselves. Jack

 

 

Upper Manitou Lake offers the best fly in fishing packages for trophy Muskies in Ontario and maybe all of Canada. All of the well-known Muskie hunters that you see on television or fishing magazines will tell you that trout water produces the biggest Muskies around and Manitou Lake is prime trout water.

Above pictured is a good example of the muskie caught by one Green Island Lodge guest (family) in the 2011 season... and the season was just beginning! Bonus is now the Upper Manitou has walleye. Although we only promote catch and release for walleye, if you are looking for that trophy fish, Green Island Lodge is the place for you! Bass, Trout, Muskie, Northerns and Walleye.

The word Muskie is short-form for Muskellunge. The word Muskellunge is derived from the Ojibwe word Maasshkinoozhe. Maash means ugly and Kinoozhe means Pike. Aboriginal people called the Muskie an ugly pike. To a fanatical Muskie hunter they are the most beautiful fish in the world. Muskie are the apex predators in the lake and are not only ferocious, they reach gigantic sizes.

Bass

Check out the bass! I think the new Rusty Myers t-shirt gave him some luck catching this prize catch. Come catch the Magic of the Manitou. LOCAL WEATHER IS...
