4 of us ventured back to Grassy Narrows, ON, back to Dream Catcher's Lodge, on the English River. The lodge is operated by our First Nation friends. We had a fine time, the weather was outstanding, breakfasts and diners were great, much better than in 2005. The fishing was good, the guides were...I will tell you that we had 'issues' with the guides. Upon our arrival we were told that neither of the guides we had reserved would be available. One (a school teacher was still on a field trip with his students?) The other hadn't been seen lately or at least since his last pay day. Two 'pinch hitters' were brought in, but one of the subs also disappeared after two days of guiding. A third guide was recruited, he was there in body but his spirit was elsewhere. At one time or another one or the other of the guides forgot to load; a landing net, reserve gas can for the motors, the shore lunch box(correction, he didn't forget the shore lunch box, he just forgot to put the food into it) the minnow bucket, and depth finder batteries. Other than that all went well and we chalked it up to yet another great adventure.
