Old Miner's Cabin

Here is an old miner's cabin that is now on its way into the water on Lake Wabaskang.

 

 

Canadian Sunset

The part of Canada we stayed in is known as Sunset Country - can you guess why???? :):)

 

Canadian Getaway

Here is the cabin we stayed in this year at Canada.  It was so close to the water that we could open the windows & fall asleep to the waves hitting the bank.

 

One of the more surprising amenities to find in a fishing camp cabin......

Getting in the Canada Fishing frame of mind

On Saturday, we went to the boating & fishing show in our area.  There is nothing like it for getting a person in a Canadian Fishing Vacation mind-set.  We visited the booths, looked at the photos & reminisced about our trip last year.  Can we wait?  Just barely!  Want to see why?  Here's my husband with just one of the things we loved about last year's trip.....

Why I picked the Outdoor LifeStyle

Why would a female with some version of a desk job, who hates bugs, getting dirty, can't see why anyone would choose to camp (when their home has electric, running water and no bugs), thinks handling bait and/or fish is "icky" pick to become more outdoorsy?  Its healthier & more interesting than staying inside. 

I have had more fun on the trip where we went fishing in Canada (by far!!!) than when we went to Cancun or the Florida Keys.  I used to buy in to the idea that a vacation is a beach where you do nothing.  Turns out the beach is beautiful, the ocean sounds great & after a few hours I am bored. 

In Canada we got up early, had a hearty & yummy breakfast, packed our gear into the boat and had tons of fun catching our shore lunch!  Whoever heard of catching one fish & having another, apparently very hungry fish try to eat your caught fish right off your hook??!  Those of you who fish, knew about this & now I know the excitement of it too!  Shore lunch - is anything better???  You are really hungry from being out on the water & fighting fish - and then you stop to eat the freshest fish you've ever had!  Walleye & Northerns are sooo yummy!

I have other reasons too - I'll share them another day.  In the meantime - if you find an opportunity to head to the beautiful north country and fish - go for it!
