The Snow walleye -an unexpected guest

My first year in Canada is almost complete so starting with the first snow of the year I found some time for my first report here. Usually, back home, I used to go out searching for big northern pike when I use to see the snowflakes falling from the sky . This is just what I have done here as well so I took my favorite pike rod and went to search for it were I last saw one at the end of October: at the Parliament Building.
I’ve done my best for half a day walking up and down the banks searching for a big mama or even a pike but no luck. Tired and with the moral hiding deep down in my trousers, I started searching for everything that swims and soon pike food started to appear for a picture. A handful of walleyes stopped by to say hello:

Next couple of days I went prepared with my walleye rod and I had a blast. :) Then , the temperatures went below freezing and was impossible to fish anymore. Unfortunately I can only upload 3 pics so you can only imagine how good it feels to be kept warm by hungry walleyes.

Well, ice fishing is not really my thing . I have next to no knowledge in this field, I’ve barely put together some equipment last spring and I have no buddy to fish with during winter ( I do have my wife as an excellent team mate during summer but she hates cold weather ) .That being said ,I can pretty much say that when the river freezes, I’m In for a long break :)
On the other hand, this is a very good time for building rods and read about fishing for me so it won’t be all lost :)

Congrats man! Please don't let your language skills prevent you from posting. Fishing pix are fishing pix!

But you WILL want to get your thumb out of that walleye's mouth. :-)
