Need opinions ..

[Abitibi Ray]

I am in the middle of designing a new bungalow . I will be mainly using it for personal use on a very good Splake lake .. I wondered if I should build it big enough to sleep four so 12x16 ish .. Reason being is I would consider slowly rebuilding my bungalow business . I would no longer operate on Big Ab as it is simply way to far to access and very difficult at times to say the least . However I wonder if there would be anny people interested in splake , and simply the seclusion of the far north ?? Anny opinions ???

I must say tho the it seem like things have slowed way down .. Not nearly the posts or replies that it used to be . Maybe I'm just out of the loop but doesn't seem the same ? Or is it just me ?

not the same ray... not the same...

to be honest i think targeting specifically splake with bungalows could a be a tough go... i think you would be better off offering guided trips out onto some lakes... have a portable and a heater...

now if the lake offered good multi speciies fishing, that would be better... walleye is the go to for most...

Definitely not you sir!
Things have slowed down quite a bit. I'm fairly new here compared to some and I have noticed a rather dramatic decline. A good number of decent respectable posters have been whooshed away for the sake of a couple trolls.

As per your OP.
I'm not a whole lot of help due to my lack of hardwater fishing. When I do get out its usually on some out of the way pond where I know 8 won't be bothered. That said I can't see why someone wouldn't want to get after some nice splake.

Ya I hear ya Fishy Steve , problem is the only place where I can put a group on 80 plus walley in weekend is Ab and I'm not willing to give up the very little family time I have to do that again . There's a reason why I'm the only one to ever operate bungalows out there .. It's simply to difficult .. If it were drive on the lake from your back yard like Nippissing I'd be all over it , but then so would everyone else like Nip and then there would be no fish like Nip .. I just thought there might be a maket for light adventure and nice trout lol

Glad it's not just me , and I hear ya on the trolls , kinda what put me off for a while , as well as other things . But hopefully things look up and the trolls disappear lol cheers

are you right in cochrane? larder lake too far for u?

i mean i would say build a shack or 2 and put them on a good splake spot... i wouldnt go all out and build 10 or anything...

[Abitibi Ray]

Yup I'm in Cochrane , larder is too far for sure and the trout fishing is better here than Larder . Larder has gone way downhill . Average size lakers caught there are considerably smaller than the average splake I get . I have done the derby a fiew times out there and not seen much for catches or the monsters you hear stories about in the past .

If I were to build it would only be a couple , just a little outfit to pass the time . I miss it , as well as meating new people , new stories ect . Maybe someday go back to Abitibi with one hut . But not numerous huts again .
