About Me: A born and raised Canadian, coming off the farm it was natural to be involved with fishing and hunting. I grew up spending the summers on the banks of the Whitemouth river in a small town called Hadashville in Manitoba. Fishing for Northerns and Walleye was just as much a pass time as it was a means to get a great meal. Farming became a summer job and after almost 25 years of city life I was by fluke, reintroduced to my roots and became a fishing and hunting guide in Northwestern Ontario. It didn't take long to realize this was how I wanted to spend the rest of my life so after a successful career guiding, I bought a fishing and hunting resort on Eagle Lake, ON. Now I have the pleasure of raising 4 year old twin girls and a 2 year old son on the water in the wilderness with my wife Sharleen...

What type of fish do you normally go for?: Walleye, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Muskie, Perch (with the kids)

Sometimes I would bring my sons. Kathy and Jakes health hasn't been good and as far as that goes my wife and myself either. I sure hope things are going good for you and your family since you bought the Lodge from Gale & Jim.

How is the fishing this year? I am hoping to head up to your lodge either late this summer or early fall, is it possible for you to send me some information?

Thanks

Josh

Thanks,
Jeff

You are right. Actually I labeled it incorrectly. This was taken at a park just north of Belleville. The occasion was the very first Kiwanis derby 28 years ago

At 5:42pm on April 23, 2008, Robin and Brian Rupp said…: Brian will call when he has his list of questions taken care of and many thanks again....you have no idea how pleased we are. Thank you!

At 4:18pm on April 23, 2008, Robin and Brian Rupp said…: We know it won't be this season....and we will have to find family to take care of the critters and Mother and we are still working on the fly verses drive thing (I have a big fear of flying, once was enough) and Brian needs to work out some things so we just don't know what to do first. We can't set a date or make any plans until we know what we have taken care of at this end. If we would have to board the horses and other critters out we wouldn't have the money to take the vacation. That's why we have not gone since 1986. Our vacation is a trip on the boat fishing once or twice a week to the Reservoir of choice or the trout stream and woo hoo were good to go. Sorry I can't give you more than that at this time. We don't have to come in the summer it could be the spring or the fall. Any time on the water is a good time.

At 3:33pm on April 23, 2008, Robin and Brian Rupp said…: Gordon,
We just don't know what to say other than we are floored. Thank you again for this wonderful package that just keeps getting better and we are just at a loss for words. Wow....you are too kind. Thank you so much from the soul of our heart.

At 6:34pm on April 21, 2008, Robin and Brian Rupp said…: We have had one crazy day here in rhe Rupp household but the best part of it was learning that we were the big winners of the the lodge trip and discussing what we just might do about it. We have not had a vacation since 1986 and so enjoyed the news. We will have to do some thinking on this as we have lots of critters and Mother to consider before setting a date or making any plans. Wow, we are so pleased and can't say thank you enough for pulling out our name. What a dream trip for us......we'll get back to you soon. Thank you again.
