Season's End Giants.
Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2015 4:25 pm
An end with the short rods for the winter.
Had intended to finish with some giant lakers, which pleasantly worked out. The ice season was cut almost into half due to work up north but what time there was all counted for something. Some serious fish and just the right people joined in along the way.
January was spent jiggin' some trout and eyes at home.
That report is here...

End of that month and all of February I took five weeks work in Attawapiskat. Also completed a personal goal which I called the Taiga Trek, hiking snowy terrain over 100 kilometers during the subarctic's iciest grip. Bigger highlights of that time were "almost" walking across the border from Ontario to Nunavut on James Bay and, chasing down a snowy owl over 17 kilometers to snap just right the pictures. The work... I can't say much about it, but imagine kicking through a door and later beating a blizzard in flight to medevac and save a 21 year old... and that's not nearly the half of it.
The complete Taiga Trek story, more of the snowy owl, Arctic landscapes and all photos were originally posted here if interested...
