Ishi’s 2025 Fishing Journal! (Who Would Have Thunk)

[Ishi]

I went to Canada the week before Labor Day. I went with a group of 7 guys and it went very well as they’ve done it for many years. We drove all night and arrived at noon and everyone was scrambling to hit the water.
The day we arrived a cold front was coming through with wind and rain.
The afternoon was British Open type weather with off and on rain and we got to enjoy a cool rainbow!

The fishing was slow the whole week but we caught enough to eat and enjoy the experience.
My first walleye

Going through a small channel to another lake

The next morning the fog was really bad! I used a lake map and my phone compass to guide the captain to get to the spot where we were the day before. Going through the same channel that morning.

When the fog was clearing it made for nice pictures

On Wednesday I was able to catch a 23 inch walleye. The biggest walleye for the group measured 31 inches.

The last night of fishing produced a nice sunset

Tomorrow I’m heading back to catch more trout and will be exploring a couple different streams

Beautiful pictures! Reminds me of when 6 of us drove 14 hours straight through to Quebec to fish a remote lake that had no access. we portaged in on moose trails dragging 5 boats, motors, fuel and gear to camp out for a week. We'd leave a boat after crossing two lakes to get to lake Con and had 3 boats there for the 6 of us for the week. The old guy that had been doing this since the 1950's met an Indian guide that showed him how to get to that hidden lake. It was a blast, watching the arura borealis, hearing the loons call on quite mornings and the fishing was crazy. The biggest walleye I caught was 30" and a 45" pike. One guy caught a 50" pike! I went with them 3 times, wish I could do it again.
