September 4th Meeting – Don Wolf on “Fishing Lake Nipigon and the Surrounding Area” and Membership Dues

Hope you are all having an excellent summer!!!  Wednesday, September 4th begins our meeting season once again with a presentation about fishing on Lake Nipigon and the Nipigon River in northwestern Ontario.  The lake and river drain into Lake Superior making it the largest tributaries of Lake Superior.  In fact, Lake Nipigon is considered by many people to be the 6th Great Lake.  With a surface area of 1,872 sq. miles, shore length of 649 miles, maximum depth of 541 feet and nearly 500 islands it’s understandable why Lake Nipigon is a great lake!  The lake is also noted for its towering cliffs and unusual green-black sand beaches composed of the fine particles of a dark green mineral known as pyroxene.  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 Wolf 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 including the necessary equipment and techniques to catch some great fish.  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.
