In the early 80's my dad took me with one of his friends and his son camping to a lake in somewhere in Canada. We lived just across the detroit river. I can't remember the name of the lake of even how many hours we traveled but didn't seem too far away.
It seems like the lake had an Indian name. It was a great time. You could catch smallmouth bass all day long until your arm was to tired to reel. Mostly 12" or so long. We played cards at night. It was hard to see your cards at times as yours eyes watered do to the methane created by the pinto beans that were on each nights menu.
It was the first time I had really gone camping as one of the guys. No women with us.
I am currently trying to find the man that took us there. If I locate him I am thinking about taking my son there this summer. A gazillion smallmouth and memories with dad, it don't get any better than that.

Well, that certainly narrows it down, 8up!8up wrote: " ... a lake somewhere in Canada."
I sure hope someone can help you. Sounds like you had a great time. Memories like that are precious indeed!
Even if you can't find out where you went and who took you, maybe you can find a reasonable substitute and do your best to recreate the experience with your own boy.
I wish you every success!
