Omaha Prize Winner has Great Time

Troy Powers of Omaha was the lucky winner of our Vacation Prize there and he send us a follow-up note after taking his trip.

We drove overnight from Omaha to get to Woman River Camp, northeast of Ear Falls, Ontario. We met owners Paul, Debbie, and their daughter, and they could not have been more accommodating. Paul immediately marked a map for us, and showed us specifically where we could catch walleye, northern pike, smallmouth, and lake trout. He set us up in a very nice cabin, and showed us our boat (the 4 stroke Yamaha's are great).

We were a little tired the first day, but got unpacked, tied on some lures, and ventured out. We only had to go about 200 yards to a nice rocky point, where we caught enough keeper walleyes for dinner that night. We ventured a little further (maybe another 1/2 mile) and started catching as many 20-25" northern as we wanted. They weren't trophies, but my brother-in-law, Scott, was in heaven: the action was non-stop, and we had a riot!

After the first day, the rest of the trip was pretty much the same. Every day, we would go fish rocky points or humps, and would catch more keeper walleyes than we could eat. Although we didn't catch any monster walleyes, I did lose on at the boat that was in the 24" area. We would then go fish the northern area's Paul had marked and catch northern nonstop. Scott loved the action, and on the clear days, he could not believe the northern were so aggressive. He couldn't believe the same fish would attack his lure 3-4 times on occasion before he was able to hook it.

Scott also landed some great smallmouth when we were fishing some rocky points. Although I love to catch lake trout, we didn't spend any time fishing for them because they were so deep. We caught fish nonstop, and witnessed some very nice fish in the cleaning station. We also had a great time meeting the other fishing groups, and spending the evenings comparing stories.

One night, Paul and Debbie had a burger night, and the food and company was outstanding! Overall, it was a great trip, and everything I was hoping for; a very remote camp, but access to drive in and bring what we wanted (did I mention we bring a lot of gear). Thank you very much for helping set this trip up, and I can't thank Paul and Debbie enough for the great experience. I can't wait to return!
