Fishing was a little slower in Canada this year due to being a week earlier and having rained 5 inches the week before. Although I caught no fish on a fly, We had great success drifting near shore and casting topwater lures within a foot of shore. This technique will be great on a fly rod next year. Biggest fish was a 32 inch pike and biggest pain was tons of pine tree pollen. I was so ill that I took 2 cases of beer for the 5 day trip and brought home 1.5 cases. Although I must admit Glenlivet did help the allergies a little.
Look how aggresive the pike are - this pike was trying to eat a fish a third of its size.
