CANADA FISHING TRIP – PART 3

One afternoon our group went to nearby Lake Victoria to catch lake trout. Launching the boats there was a challenge. After about 3 hours of trolling at 3 mph our group limited out with 12 trout running 19 to 24”. They looked a lot like brook trout, but considerably larger. Sorry, no pictures!

Here is Lucas with the largest walleye he caught.

Which of these two pictures was taken with the camera  upside down? This is a view from a window of our cabin and shows the part of the lake in which the docks are located.

Tim in his familiar post with the trolling motor controller in his lap and the depth/fish finder  right of the steering wheel rotated so he can see it from his seat in the bow. His trolling to keep us in the correct water depth was the reason we caught so many fish.

We spent most of our time fishing along the shore in this area. Dale’s boat is in the background.

Here is the kitchen area. It has a gas stove, a good supply of mismatched dishes and utensils, and a nice chest freezer for freezing our fish. Electricity was supplied by a generator to the camp, there was no cell phone service, but the camp had wifi via satellite.

Same walleye, probably 27”. Grass now is on it because in handling, the fish wiggled and I dropped it. Some other fish, perhaps a northern, had taken off part of its tail.
