Great experiences make great memories!And so it was another interesting day on the lake... one we Doug holds a 51 incher!  Click to see a big image.mortals dream about. We dream of soft water and sunlit mornings, big pike and plenty of walleyes for sport and shore lunch.  We dream of getting our picture taken as we stand behind a 50” Northern Pike.  And we dream of gently setting her back into the water she calls home.  Our own homes are far away.  And when there, we often think back on these days here at beautiful, island-studded Edmund Lake.  It matters not that she shows us her moody, angry side on occasion; those are balanced by her serene beauty, her wilderness soul and her willingness every now and then to lend to us, just for a moment, a trophy class Northern Pike.

I just returned from my Northern Pike trip to northeast Manitoba.  It was a great trip and I'd like to share just a few of my experiences... Adam

Float plane flying in:  The numerous islands, and an ice flow that was still melting.  Ice out was just about finished 5 days before I got there (two weeks late)

Not to say that we had a few cold days out there, but...

However, as  I was dressed to the 9s in every piece of winter clothing that I had, and the fly fishing was excellent,  I wound up with three trophy fish out of the 22 that were caught during my week (46.5" and 43" shown).  Also caught a whole mess of 30-39" and more in the 15-28" range.  But it is only the 30" and bigger that counted.

And my young guide (soph at Manitoba Univ, 2nd year guiding) with a fat one (38")...

This fish was caught on a fly right after chasing down and in the process of swallowing a walleye.  What was the enticement of my 3.5" fly  while in the midst of devouring a meal?

Then of course there is the grand opportunist who latched onto my fish as he was being brought into the boat.  By the way, he never let go until the fly was being taken out. So, after a day of hard fishing, it was always nice to return to camp. And last, but not least, when we weren't eating great shore lunches of walleye and pike, we always had the best food at the Lodge. Take a look at this amusing menu at the "local" restaurant 70 miles away in Gods Lake Narrows!
