C-FMFD, a privately registered Piper PA-18-150, was conducting a VFR flight near Stormer Lake, ON, to Red Lake (Howey Bay) Water Aerodrome (CKS4), ON. While enroute, the airplane was flying at approximately 500 feet above ground level and slowed to an estimated 70 miles per hour at an idle power setting, over a lodge near Stormer Lake to observe damage conditions of the area from a recent forest fire. When power was applied to regain airspeed, the inability to move the throttle from its idle position was reported. The airplane was unable to maintain altitude and struck terrain. There were no injuries, and the airplane was substantially damaged. After the accident, a maintenance facility inspected the function of the throttle linkage and found it to move freely.
