Hi OneClick,
Getting the timing right for the first paddle of the season has always been a bit of a nail biter. As the chart below shows, ice-out can happen any time from the end of March to the middle of May. Generally we aim for the first or second weekend of May, just before the blackflies make their appearance.
If, by your question, you're mulling over the idea of coming along, I'd recommend that you keep a couple of weekends at the beginning of May open if possible.

Thanks, just curious. If I do head up there it would likely be for a fall trip.
OK, I'm interested in this group. Now that I'm semiretired, there is more time
to do fun stuff. In reading the thread it seems like most of these trips involve
paddling and fishing.
I'm an 11-13 hr. drive to most of your past trips, so I would only be interested in
trip lengths of 5 or more days.
Looking forward to meeting all of you.
Hi Oh-No,
You'll never find a finer or better fed group of guys and gals anywhere. Newcomers are always welcome. We haven't settled on any details for the upcoming season beyond penciling in a long fall trip to Temagami around the end of September 2020. We're almost assuredly having a spring trout'n hang, at least one or two summer hangs as well. For what it's worth, it's not unusual for people to extend their trips by arriving early or lingering on after the "official" hang is over.
Looking forward to meeting you as well.
