The first Badger Fly Fishers (BFF) meeting of the season will be on Wednesday, September 4th with a presentation made by Don Wolf on “Fishing Lake Nipigon and the Surrounding Area”. Lake Nipigon and the Nipigon River in northwestern Ontario drain into Lake Superior making the lake and river the largest tributaries of Lake Superior. In fact, Lake Nipigon is considered by many people to be the 6th Great Lake. In addition to being a huge lake, Lake Nipigon is a very wild lake that has very few houses on it and only about a half dozen boat landings on the entire lake. Don has made the 12-hour road trip from Madison to Lake Nipigon numerous times to explore and fish the lake and rivers in the area. Don will share his experiences and discoveries fishing for northern pike and brook trout in the Lake Nipigon region. Additional information can be found in the BFF website announcement. The meeting on Wednesday, September 4th will be at our same meeting location, the Thirsty Goat restaurant, 3040 Cahill Main, Fitchburg. Here is a link to the Thirsty Goat’s website. The presentation begins at 6:30 p.m. with dinner and conversation at 5:30 p.m. Visitors and guests are always welcome.
