I like to fish. Catching fish is fun. Generally they are going to be released, unless it is for a meal while existing in nature.

There is much more to fishing than the fish. Take a look:

The left rear - our trusty guide.

Left - ???????? who was a principal at one of the schools around the area.

Middle (white had) - Russ. Russ fell into a deal he couldn’t refuse. Russ is Joel’s brother-in-law.

Joel - Friend who worked at WGRD.

The wood contains sap. Lots of that sap make it into the lake. As the river falls into the lake, the water is rough.

This is a combination of both of these features.

All the above photos were of the Montreal River. Very picturesque. Really bad fishing.

Here are some Canadian ice-fishing photos to peruse. The people in these pictures are generally “the boys”. A couple of “the boys” did not attend each year, I missed one because of health, and the pictures I have are probably not all inclusive anyhow.

Speaking of fishing, here is a little spot we found that combines the best of hunting, fishing, and amusement park entertainment, as you get to shoot at the fish as they jump up. I won a stuffed fish.
