Lake: Otatakan
Dates: 5/30/09-6/7/09
Group: Benjamin
Report: We have done many trips to various outposts around the area and have never experienced the attention to the detail by anyone to make our fishing trip as enjoyable and comfortable as L & M. From the intial contact, to the pleasant and relaxed check in procedure, the plane ride to and from the cabin/lake, it all focused on A-1 service provided by a group of people who want their customers to get the best possible Canadian adventure. Fishing was good on the nice weather days and slower on the nasty weather days. Fish are starting to transition from the rivers to the lake.

Report: Weather was cold and windy most days which made fishing interesting. The main inlet to the lake produced fewer fish than other years due to the weather conditions, but most points held fish. The inlet did net Shane his biggest northern to date. 42 inch, wow! The portage lakes were rock solid again this year netting the most fish and the largest walleye. Shane also topped his biggest walleye with one just shy of 26 inches. Thanks L & M
