I live in Red Lake, Ontario, Canada and my family runs a float plane service, outposts and a lodge. This is more than a business; it is a life style.
Every year, every season, every day brings something new. I try to blog about life our way.

Checking out where Grandpa went fishing

Jerry Yeskis was a long time guest here and he always wanted his grandkids to experience Viking Island. This summer Katherine, and twins, Bianca and Jacob, came with Uncle Doug and friend Tony. Oh yes, they did fish and had a good time doing that. They hung a nice walleye from a stringer from the side of the boat. They were planning on such a great shore lunch. A northern had a different idea!









Doug struggled to keep lines straight, and hooks baited.

But, Viking Island is not just about the fishing. Katherine wanted to learn how to make butter tarts and she ended up just making them all, pastry and all. Bianca and Katherine then made the ever popular whoopie pies (kind of like huge oreos, but much better) Jacob decided to help with breakfast and turned up before 7 am each morning to be my short order cook.











I tried to keep all three for the summer, but Uncle Doug would not agree!!

Please send comments and suggestions. I will try to answer questions about ice out, the weather, fishing and the Red Lake area.
