Lodge Happenings

Thanks to all our returning guests.  It is appreciated that you continue to choose us as your fishing destination. As you see, we  are continuing with our new tradition of combining our newsletter with our calendar.  It seems the perfect format to share with you lodge news and hopefully bring a smile and a memory or two as the winter progresses. We hope that the guests that have not been able to make the trip lately are able to reminisce on the good times they have had on Newboro Lake in the past and hopefully will again in the future.  Our American fishermen will remain the backbone of our business into the future.  This year new decks at Birch and Lake-view were completed and a new staircase from the Manor to the lake have been big improvements.  The soundproofing of the Bar was a complete success and the renovated rooms in the main Lodge turned out fantastic. No large projects planned for this year just more improvements to the rooms with new sinks, fridges, coffee makers and televisions being added to many rooms. Internet should also be available in most of the resort rooms. Don’t forget we’re always looking for pictures for next year’s calendar. Drop them off  with Sally or Dudley  for a chance to be in our 2011 calendar Once again thank you for making us your fishing destination and we look forward to seeing you in 2010.

Don't Forget Your Ontario Outdoors Card!!!!

             As many people picked up on, fishing license applications got a whole lot more involved this past season. There was a lot more paperwork for Sally and even smaller print on the forms, but hopefully it will make things easier for the upcoming seasons. By January, everyone who purchased a fishing license in Ontario should have received a plastic Ontario Outdoors Card with their name on it. If you have not received it, please call the Outdoors Centre toll-free at 1-800-387-7011. Please make sure you bring your Outdoors Card with you for your 2010 vacation.  Guests who have their Outdoors Card with them will skip the paperwork and the Outdoor card fee. If you do not have the plastic card with you, or you did not purchase a license in 2009, you will need to fill out the application and purchase another card and license. Thanks again for everyone’s patience with the changes and additional paperwork at check-in.

Boating Regulation Changes

out for them, our visitors from the US will notice very little difference to meet the stricter boating safety regulations this season. Bringing your own Boat? – you just need to meet the regulations
of your state and provide proof of residency. Renting a boat? Anyone driving it simply fills out a safety checklist on arrival, Already taken a boating safety course? Bring your card with you!
