"How High Is The Water, Momma?" "Seven Feet High And Rising!"
Tuesday, July 12, 2005, I was flying for Blue Water Aviation Services Ltd. from Pine Falls, Manitoba, and I wrote a "Post" entitled "How High Is The Water, Momma?" "Five Feet High And Rising!". Well, this year in Northwestern Ontario has been one of the "wettest" summers in 50 years. The month of July was a "writeoff", with heavy rain and "waves" of thunderstorms a daily occurrence. Well, all that rain eventually ends up in the river systems, and one of them is the English River. The English River flows through Lac Seul to join the Winnipeg River. The river is 615 km in length. There are several hydroelectric plants on this river, and Lac Seul is actually a large reservoir. Anyways, Nestor Falls Fly-In Outposts has a camp on Lount Lake on the English River system, and the fishing has been fantastic. The water level? 7' high and rising....... since Spring.......
Tied up at the dock in "Super" Otter ODK, but we can't get to shore.....
Nestor Falls Fly-In Outposts Head Guide Alf "Gilligan" Gate will have to "boat" the groups I am "changing over" to and from the "island dock". Good thing it is well-bolted to the granite.........
This is quite hilarious........
One good thing about the "wet" summer, the Great Lakes are apparently at their highest level in years, as is this river system........
In Spring, you had to walk "down" the ramp from shore to get to the airplane.........
The "guys" were having a good time, filing another chapter in their lifelong "Fishing in Canada" saga.........
We're outta' here!
"Adios"!
