Chief Hector - Nakoda Lodge Gets De-roofed

[kungfool]

Any of you hear about the monster wind that blew a bunch of the Nakoda lodge's roof off last month? Suffered 800k worth of dammage. Here's a link.

 

the story

 

The bright side is the fish now have more structure to hide under from predatory birds!

yeah took a drive past the day after man what a wind musta gone through there..... Lotsa of BIG trees over as well...... I know it blew hard in canmore but Nakoda must have been way worse.

Sounds like the wind storm that blew through when we were camping in Kikomun Creek this summer. Agreed.. it is SCARY when trees that are >6 feet around are getting knocked over like toothpicks!!

[esleech]

Hopefully a jerry can full of gas blew over to the aerator.

LMFAO

LMFAO

I sure hope that they don't use this incident as a crutch to not plug in the aerator this place has potential very similiar to that of the blackfoot nation in montana aka duck,mitten etc.

Being from northern AB I am alot more accustomed to catching fish in the belly boat than the streams, so after hearing about this Hectar Lake I took the plunge this year and paid the money.

IMO it sucked, maybe at one time this was a good fishery I wish them luck as they will be hard pressed to get money out of me again.

 

Beautiful scenery though

Wow suprised to hear this Gordo. I have had nothing but spectacular fishing each time I visited the lake this year. Caught many around 16, and always a handful 18+ each time out. Biggest this year was a 24 which was fat as hell.

 

What may I ask did you not like about this fishery?

[SilverDoctor]

Hasn't been there for a couple of years, must make it out there this spring.

[lonefisher]

shes completely covered in ice now...... should one expect to see open water somewhere for the aeration system?

Most likely there should be open water near the outlet of the aeration from what I understand . Lets pray for an early spring, and hope the fish pull through.

I've been by a few times since ice-up, can't see any open water, but I don't know where the aerator is located.

May have been an off day or poor choice of flies. When I was out that day it did'nt seem like anyone was having any luck. Nice to here that you have had good luck there. Instead of writing it off I may have to give it another try.
