Time again for the annual fishing trip. One problem, one of the OG members moved to New Brunswick. He was going to fly out and ride up. Then he got a new job and he was out. Then he was back in again, said boss was cool with it. 2 weeks out we all get the message he can't make it. What to do... I have a few maniac fishing buddies who may be able to drop what they are doing and leave for a 10 day trip at a week's notice so I start calling. The first one I called was a strike out but provided a promising lead. Chuckenwind from the board here. We had camped and fished once previous for a few days for some lost Aurora trout in a snowstorm , he seemed possibly just crazy enough. I Sent him a message explaining the trip and his reply was " crossing Nipigon in a 14 ft boat sounds like an adventure, I'm in " *I in no way reccomend doing this*
Almost died on the way up, came over a knoll in the road and big dumb Moose was standing in the road. Put the binders on as hard as i could and steered off the road and arround him at 50kmh close enough to hear his hoves on the ashphalt. Not so much fun loaded down with gear and a 20 ft boat attached to the bumper.
Fishing was tougher than years prior for Brookies and Pike for us but 10 lb lakers in 10 -20 fow were in unlimited supply as usual and a blast on light tackle . Had a great trip with Some old friends and my Dad. Was weird with no campfires allot less whisky was drank but did have to do a beer run mid week with the warmer weather we were all thirsty.
Enough talking here's some of the better fish and scenery.
Till next year!
