Pichogan is located in the Chapleau Game Preserve, it is not uncommon for guests to
see moose and other wildlife. The lake is seven miles long and has been a good producer
of walleye and northern over the years. Pichogan is a modern camp rebuilt in 2005 and
includes hot and cold running water and is wired with a generator.
Camp Upgrades
At the end of last season we started to add shut off buttons for the generators inside
the camps, eliminating the walk to turn them off. We also started to relocate our
generators beside the gas shacks to help centralize equipment and reduce the noise in
the camp. New larger decks were built on the gas shacks to accommodate the
generators and fish cleaning tables. Lights and electrical outlets, both inside and out
were installed. To date all our walleye and northern lakes have shut offs connected.
In the fall, if time permits, our staff likes to get out for an afternoon of speck fishing at

We start each season with a list of upgrades, repairs and wish list
items we would like to accomplish at each camp. Throughout the
summer we work towards trying to complete as many jobs as
possible. This year we were able to finish projects at almost every
camp. At Little Miss we built a new 16 x 12 foot deck and stairs on the
side of the camp, doubling it in size. This gives our guests more
outdoor living space. A new portage trail was cut to North Wejin
where we built a new dock, ramp and boat ladder. A new outhouse
was also constructed. Dibben, Upper Duffy, Anaharea, and Goat all
had boat ladders replaced. Mosambik got a facelift this fall. The

the lake. The back boat dock was replaced including new walkways, ramp, and crib. The exterior of the camp was also stained. At Easey
campsite was brushed and trees limbed to provide a better view of
Point we moved the water pump and batteries to the gas shack, allowing us to install a garden hose to help with cleaning fish and
washing boats. Four new singles and one double bed along with new mattresses were added to the bedrooms. One of these larger beds
was also put at Michi. These are the first double beds and we plan to add more. Lobo's 8 cubic foot fridge was replaced this spring with
a 13 cubic foot one. These bigger fridges have been well received at other camps. Easey, Lobo, Mosambik and Wejin all had 2 x 4 foot
storage boxes installed at their portage lakes in the spring. This will help keep the gas cans and tanks from being exposed to the
elements and prevent them from getting damaged. Motors can be hung on the side of the boxes to keep them off the ground.
My grandsons Makai and Fynn were great helpers on the dock. They lent a hand in the morning and
spent the afternoon in the lake swimming and water skiing. Thanks for all your help and we will see you
boats.
