Yes. PM me and I can give you some info

Well guys, it's looking like we will not be making out Canada trip for the 2nd year in a row. My Dad is now 80 so I don't know how many more we will have. We did get down to KY lake for a few days last month and got some nice crappie.

I know the feeling. My wife and I usually head to TX or Louisiana for a month in the winter but it was a no-go this time around because of border closures. It may not even happen next winter and like your dad, I'm not getting any younger either.
BTW, my fishing partner is 80 and isn't slowing down.

One caveat - i have never fished Nip much in the summer only on the ice. Ice fishing though has been great with lots of walleye and jumbo perch so i figure summer must be pretty good too. Tough slot size for walleye on Nip so if you like to eat your walleye it can be a challenge to manage a few keepers but i know on the ice 20 walleye/day were not uncommon just tough to get them in the slot.

You could also check this site out if you are interested in Nip - there are a lot of guys on this site that really know the lake:

We went to Mashkinonje lodge last summer and had a great time. Found a great spot out in the West Arm and we really smashed the Bass

Here are a couple of the lodges we have tried over the years - all have been very good.
