Seanook Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 My Son, buddy Pat and I headed north for a few days of fishing and relaxing over the long weekend. Hit up Long Point in Elk Lake and Horwood Lake in Foleyet. 6 1/2 and 9 hrs from Toronto. Long Point was loaded with fish. Took us a day to locate the "Eyes" and the Mayfly hatch wasn't helping with the numbers game. Once we found what and where they were hitting, it was on. Boat moved a little quick even on the lowest speed and we didn't have a bucket to reverse troll so the stop and start was the only way to go. Found this out as my Buddy kept getting his rig snagged up on bottom and every time he did I would yell "fish on"! LMAO. Never got any big boys but landed a ton of eating size "Eye's". My son does not yet have the patience for bottom bouncing all evening so we would give him a break and take him into the Bass and Pike spots. Managed quite a few of both and had one happy little Dude. Horwood Lake was not quite as productive. Lake was huge and lack of a fish/depth finder and no trolling motor on a 20 horse rental was our nemesis. So we spent much of the time exploring the beauty of the area until some locals were kind enough to point us in the right direction. Once we found em.....Meh.....lets say it was anti-climactic. Tons of 1-2 pounders but again no Big Boys. Highlights of the trip were seeing two Bald Eagles, The famous Horwood White Moose and just the scenery in general. Pics to follow.

Seanook Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Get pics!! Where's all the fish?! Not many of our fish were overly pic worthy until this........ Had one really nice Photo of my Son with a big Pike but he handled it poorly and I won't post that. Had a long lesson about proper handling with him afterwards. Most of my fish go right back in the water. No time for pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Point Lodge in Elk Lake(Where the Father/Son photo was taken) and Horwood Lake about an hour and a half west of Timmins. I do not recommend Horwood. Loooooong way away and the name itself says it all. A mine field of floating logs, stumps, rocks and the fishing was mediocre at best. No Bass either. Coulda been bad timing but very disappointing. The scenery was definitely pretty awesome though I have to admit. Did a wee bit of fly fishing myself this trip for surfacing Whitefish. Just before dark they would be hitting the Mayfly's hard and decided to toss on a streamer. Worked. I actually can't wait for fall "Chrome". Looking forward to meeting up then.
