Rich Clemens Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Ahhh ... so good to be back North again, it's been too long. We had a good ride up this year. Wake up at 3:00am and on the road by 4:00am. 11 hours later we pull into Lakair. Great trip, a long trip, but too much anticipation of what lies ahead to get tired. This year was special as our son-in-law Travis was able to make the trip. He remembers going to Canada many years ago, back when he was in elementary school. He always wanted to come back after seeing the pics we took on our trips up to the Canadian Shield. So, this year, it all worked out for him. I think he had a really great time and we were finally able to put him onto some fish. Couple shots around and about. Sure was good to catch up with our friends and also had the opportunity to meet some new ones. I think that's what makes this OFC GTG so special. (Didn't even have too much trouble getting my boat in the water this year ) Preparing for the blast-off. Such a motley crew eh ? Dianne and Marvin watching all the activity. Anyone say ... FISH FRY (BEFORE) Ahhh .. Fresh Fish with the special breading. lots of great prizes this year - as always Sydney's first GTG and, from what I hear, her pike showed up most of the rest of us so-called 'fisherman'. Sydney drew the name for one of Spiel's custom made rod. Congrats to the winner - she was a work of art. Travis' first Canadian Pike - a two-hander no less Just a few random pike pics. I guess this is what you catch when you're musky fishing. All in all we had a great time. Just like my very first OFC, the guys and gals really made Travis feel as part of the group and he had a great time. Hope to see EVERYONE there again next year and maybe some new faces as well.
