is something that always gets me excited AND something I like to MONTHS in advance. It takes time to get all my packing lists made, my gear prepped and ready, replacement lures bought, and etcetera, etcetera...the things to do list goes on and on...and on!!! Since my trip is only a mere couple of months away (the end of May), I think it's about time to get shaking on this prepping stuff...LOL!!!This year we are visiting Dunlops Fly In Lodge on Lake Waskaiowaka (pictured below) in beautiful Manitoba, Canada. Now...this is the trip we planned for LAST SPRING but ended up not going on because the lake was still frozen the week we were supposed to leave. So we had to scramble like crazy at the last minute to try and find a different, unfrozen lake and lodge that could accomodate us. We ended up finding one, and it was the trip of a lifetime. Even so...I sure hope that Dunlop's and Lake Waskiaowaka works out for us this year. THIS is going to be an amazing lodge to visit!!!
Dunlops Lodge is the ONLY lodge on the lake...which means NO OTHER FISHING PRESSURE. This quality is really important to me when booking a trip...nothing like boating out to the super hot fishing spot you finally found after a week of seriously hardcore look outs and hunts only to find it surrounded by 25 other boats full of eager anglers. I won't lie...that crap just plain sucks!!!
AND...so if a prime lake with no fishing pressure isn't enough, LOOK at what it says on its website:
"With your total comfort in mind each cabin is equipped with all of the essentials: showers, indoor plumbing, and 24 hour generated electricity. Every day, the cabins are serviced with fresh towels and light housekeeping. Satellite phone and high-speed Internet are available."
O.M.G!!! This trip is going to be TOTAL luxury!! Showers AND indoor plumbing PLUS they cook you amazing meals (pictured below) in their lodge...this is one SUPER EXCITED FISHERBABE!!!! Plus, it offers the added bonus of 24 hour electricity. The guest cabins (pictured above) look so cute and comfy!!!
AND...if you can believe it...the MOST exciting part, they offer high speed internet!!! You know what this means??? I might finally get to do a little blogging RIGHT FROM CAMP!!! I have always wanted to blog and twitter straight from camp...you know just little photos and tidbits about what is happening and details on my MONSTER catches, but I have never been to a camp that offered the luxury of high speed internet to anglers. Oh My Gosh...I am beyond excited!!
This year I am planning to shoot quite a few little webisodes while at camp, too!!! In addition to filming a little interview with the camp owner and/or manager, I hope to offer some great footage of traveling, the camp, the lake, and my experiences while at the camp...and OF COURSE WHILE FISHING!!! I just cannot WAIT!!!
If you would like to see more in-depth information about this really amazing camp, the website to visit is http://www.dunlopfishing.com/. The camp is owned and operated by Jerry Dunlop and his lovely family. If you are interested in visiting this camp, you can contact Jerry by sending an email to jerry@dunlopfishing.com or by calling the camp telephone number (204-422-6809). I am sure they would be super happy to give you any information or help that you may need to plan your next Canadian Fishing Adventure at their camp!!!
OKAY...so I gotta get going!! I need to re-spool my reels, start my lists, visit cabelas, visit http://www.cabelas.com/, reorganize my tackle box, find my long johns, see if my fishing jeans from last year still fit, buy cool new fishing jeans, research pretty fishing boots, research pretty yet durable raingear...in PINK, paint a few new lures, daydream about the MONSTERS Ima catch, get a pedicure (with generic colored painted toes), buy new super pretty smelling shampoo and conditioner from Victorias Secret........................................................
Happy Spring You Guys ~ FISH ON!!!
