Fishing Trip !!!

Post by Bob Patterson » Fri Feb 17, 2012 8:26 pm

Wayne,

We might be interested in a week-long camping trip <somewhere> !!
Would have to be on wheels, though, for at least the next year ..... :-(
This would likely be AFTER Ramble 2001 .

Next Year's Ramble is still under discussion, but looks like
one week only, probably starting July 7th at the Peterborough COPA
convention, then wandering to Sherbrooke and Quebec City, back to Ottawa,
and ..... Looking for suggestions !!

.....bobp & Anna

I have sent this to the list in case there is some interest in this
<POSSIBLE> float flying (Rebel or what ever you have) gathering in the
Hearst, Ontario area! Weekend/week who knows! If you are interested in
participating in this posible trip send mail to oifa@irishfield.on.ca so I
know if there is any interest to even bother having Aurele or myself do any
planning for such a gathering.
Hello Aurele! Sorry for the big delay in answering your mail. Our house
network crashed, as well as my computer, and I have been working off a lap
top. Forgot all about your mail that came on the same day, until now!
I figured that would be the bullshit you would get from the park. Amazing
how aviation is a Federal jurisdiction thing and "the province has no
Constitutional capacity to access any planning power over aviation", but
they apparently CAN keep us out of a Provincial Park, in an aircraft that
leaves no pollution in the water, yet allow 100's of boats / week to run
around the lake! I thought maybe things might be different in the "land of
the float plane", but I guess not!
I would imagine IF this trip ever goes ahead, those involved would want to
stay with their aircraft. I don't imagine anyone wants to tie an aircraft to
shore on one lake and then go to another to camp. I know a few people that
have awoke in the middle of the night to gale force winds and had to fill
their floats with water to keep their plane in one place (and piece)! This
wouldn't be possible if not camping with them. I'm sure you know lots of
good local fishing lakes, with some flat ground to set up camp, fold out
boats etc. that would be just as much fun!
I guess we will see what is happening (and who is interested) come spring,
and decide then if it is worth going ahead with!
Blue skies,
Wayne

Wayne, got a chance to meet with the person responsible for the Fishimi
Porvincial Park. It is nearly impossible to get authorization to land in the
park ( on water or otherwise). Lots of problems with security and liability,
and tons of red tape. He'd overlook a forced landing on the lake for
mechanical or other problem, but I doubt he'd buy in to severall mechanical
failures about the same time. The best suggestion we came up with was flying
into an adjuscent lake within miniutes of the park and driving people to and
from this location. I could easely look after this if we decided to go
ahead. This is still an excellent location due to all the facilities,
showers, toilets, washer and dryers etc., not to mention the beach and oh
ya! the fishing.!!!
The group area is best reserved in advance, but is likely a good
choice. It runs at $20 per day, plus $4 per person, which I think is fairly
reasonable. Anyways, there are a few other possibilities, most would be more
remote and likely more expensive as these would involve renting a cabin from
an outfitter. On the other hand, if you wanted goog fishing at he cheapest
price, we could pick a secluded lake and tent it, but this would be really
roughing it and may not be suitable to everyone.
Let me know what you think and we can discuss further.


Bye for now, Aurele
