It's been all work no play this year, haven't been outside at all this winter. Walleye season closed this weekend, so Irene and I decided to get out for an overnighter of glamping and fishing. Our pal, Chainsaw Rob, lives on Wildgoose lake, about a 20 minute drive from G Town. We decided to go out there because the new open pit mine is doing a good job polluting the waters of our local lake.
It was a fantastic day, 16 degrees C, I was walking around in a t-shirt. 2.5 feet of ice still on the lake though.
We had the usual setup, and with good friends and a few wobbly pops, an excellent night of fishing occurred.
It was daylight till well after 9 PM, and then the April Pink Moon came up. Then we were treated to an awesome Northern Lights display.
Fishing was fantastic, no real big ones, but lots of good sized eating fish.
Hit the sack around 11 PM, got woken up around 3 AM by a couple of linx who were either fighting or fornicating, my linx language skills are a little rusty, but the screaming went on for around an hour, probably would have sent a city slicker running for the hills. In any case, a really nice evening, so glad we made the extra effort to get out.
