Picking Fiddleheads and harvesting wild trout - catch and cook

[Fish frames]

I love this gem in the bush where the hike and effort deter most, leaving it an oasis when life’s stresses weighs you down.   At one point I had seen a coyote chase something down about 30 yards from me.  Full on teeth exposed and full tilt.

Can't beat that FF. It doesn't get much better. Way to go. We had a few feeds of Fiddleheads a few weeks back as the gardens around our place have many.

Something about foraging tasty treats in forest just makes everything taste better.   Anyone out here ever go mushroom hunting.  Been doing a bit of research lately.  Still a little nervous nelly about them...

My first and only float reel. Over the 2 decades its gotten its fair set of abuse. It wobbles a bit and my clicker has been replaced.  But it stil works and i find it hard to get rid or upgrade gear like that.  In fact, I also have the same Daiwa rod 12ft and it’s taken a beating and still delivers. You can see in the vid some of the cork has chipped  off.  So old, I don’t think that cork can suck up anymore roe juice. Haha.
