Fishing

Met our Son-in-law, Greg, at his brother’s house, where we spent 2 days preparing for and packing for the trip. It started off with a 4^th person, a family friend of Greg and his brother to be joined by two more family friends two days later. We fished at Cedar lake, 300 miles north of Winnepeg. We caught more fish on this trip than in years past and had a great time. We did a fly in fishing trip a couple of years ago to upper Ontario. The fish were OK, but not too many. Greg did not catch anything until the last two hours of the trip. Boy did he make up for it this time! We all caught lots of fish this time but on at least one day, it seemed they passed everyone else’s bait to bite on Greg’s. He had a really great trip and finally caught a Manitoba master class Rainbow trout. We all caught lots of fish that were too large to keep. Manitoba has a slot limit that protects older spawning fish. Ok to catch, just have to let them go. I finally caught a Manitoba master class Walleye. We caught Walleye, Northern Pike, Rainbow trout and Brook trout. We stayed at Moak Resort who threw a great Canada celebration including a pig roast and evening fireworks. See pictures here. We all had a good time, we caught over 150 fish in 5 days of fishing and kept our limits, and are already booked for the same place next year.
