Hit Tim Hales with Cliff yesterday. Have not fished in a rental hut since the 80's. They have not changed much since then. Warm and comfortable huts lotsa pinhead minnows and no walking and dragging all my own gear out. Action was pretty steady for perch although yesterday the smaller ones visited more frequently than the bigger ones. Came home with 2 feeds for Debbe and I. Cliff did a little better than I did. However my favourite take away from the day was just hooking up with an old fishing buddy who I have not had face time with for far too long. Thx Cliff it was a great day.

It was a wonderful day fishing and you are right Steve, it's been way too long! It was really nice to have a chance to catch up and reminisce about some of our previous outings, we sure have created some fond memories. The new blades for my electric filleting knife got a great work out, these ones are a little longer than the originals which I really liked. As discussed, we will be doing it again before the ice out. Oh, and I still think those ones that got off had to be at least 3 lbs😉

Thinking about the size of the asses on typical sized bass or trout from years of cleaning them, and I don't think a normal sized plastic worm or grub would be able to pass through the average or smaller fish. As for people that say that "I have cleaned fish for years and never cleaned a sick fish with plastic in their guts", well. if most of the fish that ingest plastics die fairly quickly, the less likely you will be catching them to see what they died of. And I can tell you, if I am going to keep a fish to eat (since there are limits) there is no way I am going to keep a sick looking fish as one of the ones I keep to eat. Its going back. So, basically the worse the issue is for fish, the less likely fishermen will be catching large numbers of them and seeing the "evidence".

Maybe they should try the appropriate sized rubber baits on humans for a year or two before they go to market and see what the uptake in Exlax is for that period.

Fishing and travel is what this is about. Balancing a life in the north and south, pointing a moral compass, maintaining some sanity, and fighting the clock while experiencing all that’s possible. This past year I visited Nunavut’s highest north, most east and furthest west communities for work, essentially and finally leaving my footprints in all four corners of the Arctic Territory. Outside of that accomplishment, there has been fishing, and the past four seasons witnessed so many personal best catches for family and friends and days on the water, that so much can just never be forgotten. My fish, many other's fish like personal bests for Leah, Bren and friends, and so much of the best I could get of the scenery, please enjoy this one… LINK ON IN HERE TO........
