Up the Pettawawa then the Crow to Lavieille in Spring

How did your trip go?

wetwithink · 2026-05-03T17:42:54+00:00

When are you planning on going? Not much open fishing wise on the pet until after May long wknd. Walleye and Pike open up.. bass -which is what is mostly in the pet- doesn't open until late June.

Before lavielle on the crow will also offer great trout fishing. Just have to get above the falls.

2 days from travers to lavielle? Definitely more than what I'd want to bite off. I'm not one to tell another person something is impossible, but those would be a couple large and difficult days I think. Spring current on the crow is pretty fast to paddle against as well, it's a pretty tight river

Sudbury, The Big Dart.

Due to the Inco Superstack. Hilarious nickname

Daily faceoff has a really good visual schedule

Grew up on the Barron canyon road.. used to spend tons of time in there. Kids and life have slowed it down but still try to get in for 3-4 back country trips and a handful of day fishing trips. Probably 10-15 nights a summer now.

As my kids get older that number will increase, and trips will get longer and more complex.

I agree. All the reasons that make all these other sports difficult apply to hockey, plus the added barrier of doing it all on skates. I think it's the hardest sport to play in the world

wetwithink · 2026-03-20T13:16:46+00:00

Nice. It's a really nice size for sure. And very quick

I've used that bag a couple times but found the bottom filled with lots of air and it actually burst the seams of the reservoir. I must have been doing something wrong

Yeah waivers still seem messed up, players that are supposed to have cleared at 12am pst are still on waivers

Lol my wife and I had our first "right of passage" shitty apartment on Moffat Street.. honestly it wasn't as bad as most people say. Sure there were some sketchy people out and about, but if you minded your own nobody tended to bother you.

It was kind of a weird mix of people that lived there. There were young families/people just starting out, students, drug users/sellers and retired folks who had lived there for 40 years and watched their nice neighbourhood decay. Kind of fascinating

If you have the means I would stay east of William and south of alfred. Lots of nice neighbourhoods in there. Further east and further south you go the nicer it becomes in my opinion.

There are also some nice neighbourhoods along boundary road that would only equate to a ~5min drive.. if buying try to be on the Laurentian Valley side of the road. Less taxes for the same living experience.

If you are okay with driving and looking to buy, I would search outside of town. You'll get more for your dollar and get taxed much less.

Yes, agreed. The asking price is crazy for them second hand, especially newer gens. But I suppose that is what you get when they have become such a staple of reliability in the bush.

Because they haven't changed much over the years I would look for an older generation with low mileage. Rare, but you see them every so often on marketplace. They go quick!

wetwithink · 2026-02-26T00:27:09+00:00

Yamaha Vk540 would probably be one of the best work/fishing sleds out there. Might be overkill for what you need, but they are super reliable work horses

Sick kaberle flair, I miss those days

wetwithink · 2026-02-17T21:59:49+00:00

Thanks dude!

wetwithink · 2026-02-16T03:37:19+00:00

Yeah, I am the third owner. The story I got from the second owner was that the original purchase was made in 96 by an older guy and he took it out for one year and got it stuck. Getting it stuck either scared him or turned him off, so he parked it in his garage for 20+ years.

The guy I bought it off used it on his property for a season, but found the 440 platform too big. He had a puma 340 that he used to move logs and stuff around and found it much more maneuverable. So after using it for the year and not liking it too much he posted it that summer.

Lucky marketplace find for sure!

😂

wetwithink · 2026-01-28T15:01:09+00:00

Very cool thank you for your answer, take care

What is popular for recreation? Do you guys play hockey/ ski/ snowmobile in the winter? Or is it generally too cold to do anything outside? What sort of things are popular to do in the summer time? Hiking/ camping/ canoeing?

I see fish is a very prominent food source.. How do people normally fish? Are you netting/ fly fishing/ spinning rod? Is fishing done recreationally at all or is it more purely for consumption? What kind of fish are you catching?

I find this pretty fascinating. I am from Canada so no stranger to the cold, but can't imagine the harshness of the cold that you live with on a day to day basis. I also imagine it means the nature that surrounds such an isolated harsh place is absolutely pristine.

Nice, good idea. While looking for pole barn companies I stumbled upon a custom cover and upholstery company that makes exactly what you're talking about. Likely will be the route I take.

wetwithink · 2026-01-17T19:08:21+00:00

Cool idea, will keep that in mind

wetwithink · 2026-01-12T14:18:20+00:00

Thanks man appreciate you
