Headed back to the Cabonga Reservoir and Deer Horn Lodge this week to fish for Walleye, Pike, and Lakers. It's going to be interesting because the intell from Walleye Central from those that have already visited Deer Horn in the past weeks is that the reservoir is down as much as 5 feet! Yikes! The last time we saw it down that low must have been around 1999.
The Map above shows every area we have fished since we started going to Deer Horn Lodge and the Cabonga Reservoir since 1981. Of course we haven't be there every year since then. I think in the span of 29 years we have been there some where 16 times. One year we went twice, or it was more of a do over because my father had a herniated disk. We got there on Saturday and went home Sunday night.
With our 2nd boat and a much larger engine (90 hp) we now have far greater range to strike out for places like the big water (depths between 105 and 250 feet), Baie Dixie, and beyond the Lumber Camp. With the bigger motor, I think it takes 30 minutes to get to Sterns Pass when it took over an hour with our 25 hp and the Tracker. Although, this time around with the low water, we'll see where we can get to.
This could be the last year we go up with kids because my daughter who is 9 now has expressed an interest in coming next year but I don't think she is prepared for a week of no TV, limited internet, and fishing all day. I plan on posting daily fishing reports and lots of pictures provided there is still internet service at the camp and it works well enough.
