quebec bob Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 We are heading to North West Maine for ice out salmon and brookies in 2 weeks and will see a lot of loons making their annual nests, really great to hear them calling at dark.

Not sure what that bird is, but it ain’t no loon. Sounds like u have a good trip planned, let us know how it goes and good luck...

Sounds like u have a good trip planned, let us know how it goes and good luck... Definitely not a loon in that pic, but a big bird and probably from the same family. We usually try to get to camp the very first day we can navigate around the ice, a 2 hour trip by water, never see another person for the whole week, very remote, an old logger drivers camp, more rustic than Groomers camp, and some incredible fishing. Just a little worried about leaving out of state plates on the side of the road for a week, you never know how people will react during this virus when no one is looking. Been doing this for 30 years, never had a problem, but never say never.My boat registration came in the mail today so it looks like we are ready, we will not need any contact with anyone once week hit the road, only to stop for gas, so it looks like social distance will be no problem. Very interesting here at the shop, people are calling for appointments and we are reasonably busy with a couple week back log. This is a very uneven playing field, many have no work, we are surprised and counting are blessings, 5 weeks in things are still looking good for us at work, but we know this can change.

May be worth starting another topic for this. When u park, u may want to back in and put a gone fishing plate over your front plate, especially coming from a hot spot. We won’t know how remote u really are unless u r offline for a week. Groomer probably has better internet at his camp than most of us, lol.
