On Friday TJ, Vanessa, Sandi and I met up with Doug Lambley from Argyll Motor Sports his father-in-law Bill Ewanciw and Bob Hunter from ODG the makers of Argo amphibious UTV. Ray from Reel Adventures was our guide to the unnamed lake that was our final destination.
The trip in was across 9 km of floating muskeg and two rain swollen creeks. We had 3 Argo HDi, two of which were the new SE version with the adjustable easy ride seats and the new light system. The Outdoor Quest unit I was driving had tracks on it and pulled an Argo trailer. With the four people in the unit and all the gear in the trailer the HDi was moving a ton, literally, of gear and people. There were some very nasty holes on the way in, typical in floating muskeg, but we made it in and set camp. One thing great thing about using Argos is with all the room and hauling capabilities it is easy to move in a first class camp.
The fishing was great for small pike at the lake and hundreds were caught over the weekend. The new tires on the HDi were very impressive with water speeds of over 4 mph and manoeuvrability provided by the HDi transmission made the units very fine watercraft and able to get any where on the lake easily. The weather was perfect but all to soon Sunday afternoon rolled around and we had to pack up and leave.
We all agreed that this trip had to be an annual affair and have already started searching for next years destination.
