NC: My name is Larry and I live in New Mexico. Nimpo Lake sure sounds like a great destination. I love fishing. Is there any stream / river fishing as well as lake fishing. I enjoy walking the stream more than trolling from a boat. Too late in the game for this year, but maybe can make the trip next summer if I plan in advance. Is there a good refueling spot within 100 miles of Nimpo?2017-06-15 18:41:35 -

NimpoCub added a new comment in 7 Days on the RangeGood flick. That's my ol' stomping grounds (Hibbing & north). Didn't fly when I lived there but the family covered a lot of the northern lakes in our boat & camping gear.2016-12-25 05:19:20

No plans yet, haven't even studied the charts, but just want to explore that country & catch/eat some walleyes again. Did the Yukon last year & it's about the same as northern BC, so want to see some different country this summer.
I'm a supercub on straight floats so 185's aren't real thrilled with flying with me. :)

NimpoCub replied to BackCountry Strips - Canadian StyleI personally don't pay much attention to strips, I'm on floats all summer. I think that there aren't many planes on wheels out west here because we don't have strips & gravel bars all over the place. Rivers are almost all black rocks. Plenty of ocean beaches along the coast but wx can be a prob...2014-02-04 04:23:19
