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.

Red Lake Area Fires

This is a picture of a water bomber taken by our friend Chris Sherwin. He is busy mapping the fires from above and planning strategies to work with nature and beat this storm of fires.

Here at Viking Island, the smoke has cleared and we are fine although it is extremely dry and hot here. Hugh tells me that flying north is getting more difficult and we may need to move guests around. If for safety it is necessary, we do have room for our guests at our camps in Woodland Caribou Park where there are no fires at present and the skies are clear.
So if you are coming north to fish with us Vikings, we are waiting for you and have a cabin ready for you. ( You just may have to be ready to fish a different lake.)
Current Forest Fire Situation in Ontario.
I'll try to keep you up to date but for now this is all I know.
If you want to get in touch with us, call Roseanne and Craig at 807-727-3461 or Enid at 897-727-0321. Hugh and Craig will be sitting down to make plans for the weekend tomorrow, Wednesday.

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