Tom Moorehead's Grand Kids
Tom's Grand sons first time on a snowmobile on Boxing day. Now Tom Jr. will have to get his boys a toy they really enjoyed for the first time.
This is not a canadian fly-in fishing trip-it's Billy's 46th
Now Billy has been asking for this for 6 years--finally his wife got it for him--
Now he can sew his girls pants and shirts for school----save gas money---
He might even be able to do something for his "Tomatoe"
""Now if you fly-in guys think i will sew for you before you get on the cessna---- Think again""

This is not a canadian fly-in fishing trip
James Waller Lake Memorial
James Waller
1988 - 2007
In memory of the sudden passing of our son James, Twin Lake has been renamed Waller Lake. James will forever live in our hearts and will eternally have a place in the heart of the James Bay Frontier.

“Wow Bill! I never worked so hard just to go fishing” said James the time he helped refurbish the fly-in outpost camp at Twin Lake.
Beaver Helps Fly in Fishermen For Us
The air base is bustling like crazy today with countless eager anglers waiting to get their chance at one of our trophy pike and walleye lakes. I managed to get out of the office long enough to take a snapshot of this fine float plane loading up passengers and gear.
Excessively strong winds yesterday made it impossible for us to get into Bill's Lake to fly-out the group of fishermen that were stranded an extra night. In order to make all our flights today we had to ask our friend Ron Baron to help us fly-out some of our guests.
We help each other out here in the James Bay frontier, it's like an unwritten rule amongst the pilots of the area.
Here's a picture of the Beaver float plane that took our fly-in fishing customers to their secluded honey holes today. By the look of the sunken floats, I can tell that this fishing party has perhaps a couple of cases of pop too many.
Thanks again Ron!

Abitibi River Marriage
It's official. Bryan and Katie have set a date for their wedding. Smack dab in the middle of the fishing season. This happy pair of northerns will tie the knot on July 7th 2007 somewhere on the Abitibi River.
Congrats to both of you from all of us here at Polar Bear Outfitters. It's about time!
Maybe now Bryan will be able to concentarte more on his work, just kiddin' bud you work hard for our fly-in guests and we all apreciate it.
So when you get here from where you are to do your fine walleye and pike fishing with us, don't forget to congratulate him when you see him on the dock getting your plane ready (he's the guy weighing in your beer).

Desperate Determined Pike Stalkers
It is the first Saturday of the fishing season. Snow, ice pellets and freezing rain has grounded us from flying. By two o'clock this afternoon we are expecting 15 centimeters of snow to fall on these parts of the James Bay frontier.
But Chris and Steve Flack are desperate and determined pike stalkers.
They quickly help load their gear unto the plane. Off they go from the float plane dock and into the mists hovering above Lillabelle Lake.
We can see from the air base office that they are hammering the northerns left and right. This is the spirit of the true north fishing experience. They may be crazy but man can they fish.

Here are our first fly-in fishing guests for 2007

Our first flyin fishing team has just left the water and are in the air towards Bill's Lake. They are going to have a blast nailing hungry walleye after walleye. Fish your hearts out guys!
Wow! 400 hundred pound overload on beer. Happy fishing trip.
Bryan and Katie Fly-In Outpost Engagement

In true James Bay Frontier spirit, our local worm picking wizard, dock superviser and outboard motor repairman Bryan proposed marriage to his long time sweetheart Katie at a fly-in outpost camp last week. It doesn't get much more romantic that that around here folks. Imagine the moment. Walleye fillets a-frying in a secluded setting, a young couple in love rained in for the afternoon in a fly-in fishing outpost camp, the makings for a real romantic James Bay Frontier time.
At the air base, we found out about the happy event when Billy returned from their mid-week flight check. We made an effort to embarass the happy couple by decorating their truck for the ride back into town. So congratulations on your decision, Bryan and Katie, from all of us here at Polar Bear Outfitters and Lillabelle Lake Resort, we want to wish both of you only the best that life can offer and a very happy future together.

Flyin Outpost Boot Camp Rules
We hope you enjoy your stay with us here in the frontier. We also hope that the camp was left clean and that all the equipment is working well. We do trust our previous guests here to leave the camp in great shape for the next group of anglers; like we trust you will as well.
Brian our trusted dock hand, outboard motor repairman and local worm harvesting champion, reminded me again that I should mention something about flyin outpost camp safety and rules on my blog. I thought that was a good idea and asked i-Fred to put together some Billy Flyin Outpost Boot Camp Rules.
Our Internet Marketing Expert Fred has gone completely nuts lately. He can't do anything like normal people anymore. He's on the computer fighting with some spammer or fishing all day, and all night. Absolutely nothing else. We have to remind him that it is dark outside and the sleepy-eyed pike don't see well at night. Anyway he put it together so here it is for you ladies and gentlemen from Cochrane Ontario Canada ...
1. Respect the rules in force. Make sure you observe the quota policy and fish with a permit. The fish is a collective asset that needs to be safeguarded. Waste and excess are unacceptable.
2. Boat carefully and with safe limits. Windy conditions in northern Ontario can be hazardous. Always have and wear your life jacket. Do not drink and operate a boat. Park your boat away from rocks and in designated places.
3. Do not try to fly-out limits of fish. Keep fish out of water as short a time as possible. Air kills fish. Do not kill any northern pike.
4. You are allowed to eat only 2 walleye a day per person as a shore lunch. This is to maintain our quality of fishing.( no bigger than 18inches).
5. Do not throw garbage in the bush. Do not throw fish remains in lake in front of the dock. Fish remains are to be thrown out in middle of lake.
6. Respect catch and release and limits of fish. Violators may be subject to fines ranging from $ 250 to $ 2000, arrest of property and in some cases imprisonment.
7. Make sure all boats, fridge, and camp are cleaned for the next guests. This will ensure you didn’t forget anything and avoid monetary penalties.
8. Garbage. All your garbage is to be double bagged and taken out. Leave tracks not trash. This will help ensure that our next guests won’t have a visit by Mr.Bear.
9. Be respectful of all territory, and infrastructures. In the bush of northern Ontario as elsewhere, theft and vandalism are considered crimes.
10. Things missing. Please tell pilot if there is anything missing or not working properly.
11. Camp Fires. Always check with pilot for camp fire restrictions. Do not use wood cut for camp wood stove for camp fires. Brush and fall downs may be gathered about the area. Keep fire small.
Everything that you should need for an enjoyable, secluded stay is here and should be working well. If something is missing or broken, please let us know so that we can fix it or replace it before the next party comes in. The pilot may not have much time to spend with you before taking off again so please make him aware of any problems with the camp or equipment while he is with you at the camp. He may be able to fix or replace equipment on the spot and all will be well for the next party.

Great Fishing No Complaints
The fishing has been amazing. None of the customers are complaining and many of them are rebooking for next year. We are having a great summer. The weather is more predictable and the pike have started to fall into their summer slumber period. The northerns will attack bait but they are not biting hard really. The biggest fish still must keep their bellies full of minnows. The dark, muddy watered, weeded trenches are the trophy thrones during a blistering days.
No problems with walleyes, they are fat and juicy and they are plentiful in our well-managed fly-in only lakes.
My dock, maintenance and office guys have been working hard repairing the camps and keeping fuel and supplies in order. Fred's got tons of SEO Services to work on while here fishing again. The carrying weights have been kept to limit and people wanting to bring in the additionals are happily paying the $1 per pound overload fee.
The plane has been performing wonderfully. Got out of the last regular maintenance inspections with flying colours. Do not foresee any trouble.
I apologize that we haven't been around the telephone very often and it is extremely hard to get to us. Email is the best way to communicate with us. If you miss us on telephone, which happens frequently when we are busy, please leave a detailed message and a return telephone number. Billy will get back to you. You can always try the 7:30 AM trick I mentioned in an earlier post.
I have been helping out some of the other fly-in outfitters when it happens that I have no flights and they are overloaded simultaneously. These few extra flights are keeping me more busy than usual. I can't be reached on the phone very often but I can be reached by email everyday.
