I’ve been rattling on and on about the wildlife at Uchi , more so than usual. It’s just that there is so much activity going on, I feel I have to share it with you. This is one of the most unique pictures I’ve seen of a cow moose with her baby - photographed by Dave Vaughn. The same Dave that released a 29 inch walleye yesterday, then his buddy a 45 inch northern.

The Castro party also had a 45 incher on their line but it got away before getting a picture. I’m still having trouble getting my guests to post their fishing reports as the days just fly by and we run out of time. Still trying, still trying and still trying……..

Well, well, well….after posting my last blog the partridge eggs have hatched and mom has left the nest with her babies. This is all that was left behind. You can see that two did not survive however mom has 11 to look after as it is. She won’t be far away but guaranteed she will be far enough so as to protect her young

Cheryl, Phil and Scott Hildebrand brought to my attention two more additions to the Uchi Family. Here is another picture of eggs but this time their loon eggs - look closely to see the nest tucked under the shrubs.

So much excitement on Uchi Lake this year. Cheryl was lucky enough to capture a cow moose with her calf following closely behind as they exit the lake.

And mother partridge was just spotted by Walt as they waddled past his cabin. Walt is a darn good photographer so I anticipate receiving some nice pics of them throughout this week.

“This is definitely paradise” quoted from Jay, a guest who has fished Uchi Lake for 30 years. Jay and I sat in the lodge porch enjoying a hot cup of coffee and I asked him to compare the fishing on Uchi from then until now. He and his group of friends/family were unanimous that the fishing has gotten plenty better. Now that’s a testimony and I am extremely proud that I have had the privilege in taking part to protect such a jewel of a fishery.

We have a couple of new groups in camp who are a delight to be around, enjoying the hospitality, the serene mornings and getting to know the hotspots.

The Hogenson party is back and what can I say? They brighten the room with their many jokes and laughter, kidding one another constantly. They’re having no problems catching fish as I see mark has released a 27 inch walleye which is posted on the Wall of Fame.

Shorelunch is just over as I sit here gazing out the window watching the gulls surround the camp boat, on its way back to camp. Must get some work done before dinner hour.

Yes, I said it. March is here, weather is beautiful and the snow is melting ( a little)!!

So what did you think about the game this past Sunday. That was quite a goal the US made on Canada in the final seconds of the third period. Actually it was quite a game overall and being Canadian eh, I sure found it exciting to watch. Congrats goes to both teams!!!! I just have to say it …..Go….Canada……Go. It’s the patriotism in me.

Enough said, the Olympics are over and as enjoyable as the events were, they are still not comparable to FISHING. Most weeks have been booked but I still have a few spots so don’t delay in contacting me as our phone lines and email are open 24/7 for your convenience.

I got out for a little ice fishing for walleye, here on the local lakes this weekend - not a bite. It didn’t matter though, keeping company with great friends and the sheer privilege of enjoying our great Canadian outdoors was all I needed.

March will be a busy month getting ready for your visits. There’s a lot of planning and organizing to do before your arrival to ensure every detail is looked after. My famous last words…..”We not only talk the talk, but we walk the walk”.
