Lockport Memory

[size38pants]

About 25 years ago there weren't near the shacks at Lockport that there are now. Does anyone remember a guy that looked like a mountain man who fished there on and off. I believe he was from Southern Manitoba. He'd arrive in a rear wheel drive old truck loaded with scrap lumber and proceed to build a shack piece by piece. They ended up looking like Frontier forts. I believe he'd stay overnight and for several days. Then he'd dismantle it and be gone. Next time he showed up, same deal but a slightly different design. I think one was a little two story loft.

That sounds like that older blue Dodge truck I remember seeing out there as a kid in the earlier 1980's More Lockport memories are the piles of Burbot left frozen on the ice & not too many power augers. We've drilled many holes with a 6" hand auger & sat on the lee side of the truck for shelter.
