I can’t help but begin this newsletter with the weather. I can understand and maybe accept one summer with...read more

The nice thing about living way in the bush is that on any given day you will get to see some wildlife. It can be anything from a small chipmunk to a majestic moose. It is not abnormal to come out of road or drive back in and get to see a slow paced turtle crossing the road, a fox scurrying along, a bear minding its own business, a deer alertly fleeing away or a moose unsure of its next move...read more

We are officially opened for business. Opening weekend saw some awfully cold weather with some freakishly odd looking white stuff....read more

Well what do you know; opening the lodge for the season is just a couple weeks away. Again I must say time flies. I remember draining the cabins in the fall of 08 and thinking that the first thing I will know I will be going around connecting the lines back in next spring...read more

I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the response our last newsletter received. Having nothing to talk about generates a lot of interest and I want to personally thank everyone that has offered me some advice and some ideas for upcoming newsletters...read more

Every time I start this newsletter, I struggle to find a subject or story that I can share with you and at the same time keep it interesting. I end up speaking about the weather, as it seems to be an interesting subject for everyday conversation...read more

Hope you had a very festive and trouble free holiday season. From the crew we wish you a happy and prosperous New Year. Did the snow find you this winter season? I always thought that living in the bush in the middle of nowhere a person would be hard to find, however, old man winter did not have any trouble...read more

Hi folks. How has the weather been for you so far this year? In our neck of the woods, it seems that old man winter has set in and is going to dump a lot of snow on us this winter...read more

It is the end of October and we are at the end of our season scrambling to shut down the lodge amidst the sub zero weather we’ve received complimented by a fresh coat of, or should I say a double insulated parka of, snow on the ground...read more

Well what do you know we are beginning the final month of our season. I always think when I first go around the cabins in the springtime to reconnect the water supply that the first thing I will be doing is going around again and do just the opposite...read more

As we make the turn and head to the end of our season, I must say that this year, amidst all the rain, as been an exceptionally good one. The summer months were really busy for us. Now as we begin the final descent to our ultimate destination, in this case the end of our season...read more

May, June & July have come and gone. The season is already nearly half over. Time flies, we are getting older, the cold winter months are just ahead and camp closure is stone throw away. Have you ever wondered where the time has gone? You look back and first thing you know...read more

Already a month into the season and boy what a season it has been so far. We have been very busy to date much to our liking. The weather has not been very cooperative with rain showers seen on most days with very little sunshine. I can’t ever recall this area having continuous wet rainy weather like we’ve had in June...read more

We are officially opened for another season. Did we get everything completed on time? No, however we managed to complete the essential. You do have running water in the cabins and the boats are floating. What an opening weekend we had...read more

Well folks, 2½ more weeks and our season commences. Are we ready? Not quite, but then again we are never ready when our opening weekend rolls in. We set out to accomplish too many goals but the time between when the snow melts and our opening weekend is way too short...read more

Well folks, in less than 2 months our 8th season will be underway. As the snow slowly melts away, we can’t help but feel a little bit of anxiety as we begin to prepare the lodge so that we can greet you as you come in on Victoria day long weekend. A lot of work is on the plate...read more

Lake Nipissing, located 50 km northeast of Georgian Bay, covers an area of 831 square km and is the fifth-largest lake in Ontario excluding the great lakes. Nipissing in the native language means "little water." It runs in an east-west direction to a length of 72 miles...read more

What a difference a year makes. If I had looked outside a year ago I would have wondered if old man winter was ever going to visit us. There was no snow. The lake was nearly free of ice and you could almost have gone out on opening day (Jan 1st, 2007) using a boat & motor for fishing...read more

Believe it or not, as I am writing this edition of our monthly newsletter, we have already been shut down for a month. The cold weather has found its way to us and winter is basically just around the corner. All the toys have been put away and the snowplow is all ready to go as we await our first real snow fall. I could wait forever for the latter even though we are well equipped to handle the load...read more

As I am struggling to put some words together to begin this chapter in our monthly newsletter I quickly gaze outside and realized that we are just a few days away from ending our 7th season. Frank has already stored and winterized most of our boats & motors keeping the last few ones in the water as a reminder that although the season is nearly complete, duck hunting is still going on, at least for one more week...read more

Fall is already upon us. The leaves have started to turn resulting in an array of colors that only Mother Nature can put together. Hunting season has begun and waking up to the sound of gunshots ripping through the air is no longer an unusual thing. The mornings are chilly with light frost appearing on the roofs and on the docks...read more

Memquisit Lodge dates back to the early 20’s when a steam ship captain by the name of Charles Britton, having sailed by this beautiful bay on many occasions and admiring it on each trip decided to buy the land and build a tourist camp which he named Memquisit Lodge. Not much history is kept on Captain Britton’s ownership aside that he built a few cabins along the shores...read more

Summer is already halfway done and fall weather is nearly upon us. It’s almost hard to imagine and nearly impossible to believe that the season is nearly ½ way over. As for those of you who have already come and gone this year we are sure you understand what we mean when we say time flies...read more

Since the onset of announcing that we were going to launch a monthly newsletter and asking all of you if you would be interested in receiving it, the interest continues to grow rapidly. This makes us feel good. Hopefully to date the information has been useful and entertaining...read more

Our newsletter’s second release provides more meat and potato information in the fishing report since we have gone through opening weekend and some fishing information has come in. After scrambling to get things ready for our 2007-opening we opened without a glitch. We had a full camp minus one cabin...read more

Welcome to the first release of our monthly newsletter. We will cover items that we feel will be of value to you and your loved ones. The newsletter will be divided in 5 different categories. These categories will include a section on fishing, lake conditions, weather updates, what’s new at the lodge and finally a section on huge specials for the last minute available spots we have...read more

Every year we struggle with the words to use to start our annual newsletter. We certainly do not want to start it the same way year after year but then again how else can we start it without saying thanks to all of you who have again helped us through another great year. All of you are amazing and supportive individuals and for that we are very grateful...read more

Is it possible that 5 seasons have already come and gone? It certainly doesn’t feel that long, but facts are facts; we’ve operated the lodge through 5 seasons. This year, like all the others prior, has been very rewarding. Our numbers are up again, which allows us to continue for at least another season. We again owe it all to you, our guests, for making this happen. Thank you very much for your continued support. We hope we have met your expectations and have fulfilled your vacation needs...read more
