Gone Fishin'

For the next couple of weeks I will be on the road, with no computer, so don't look for any new recipes for a while.  Flying to Detroit today for a family visit and then next week I will be in northwest Manitoba fishing.  I am going to a trophy only lake, so hope to catch the "big one" and not let it get away.  To get to where I am going, I will fly to Minneapolis,  Minneapolis to Winnipeg, and then on to Flin Flon.  From Flin Flon we will take a float plane to the resort. 

It is all catch and release fishing, but I hope we will get to at least have some nice fresh walleye for a shore lunch.  There is nothing much better than when the guide cleans up a few walleye and fries them up in a big old black skillet over a wood fire. Served with some fried potatoes and a can of pork and beans it is pretty good eating.  Especially along the rocky shore of some north country Canadian lake, that is clean enough to drink from.  If we are lucky, we might see moose or bear. For sure, we will be serenaded by the lonely call of the loon. 

I have done a number of these kind of trips, but all of the others have been in Ontario or Alaska.  This is my first adventure into Manitoba and I am really looking forward to it.  I will let you know how the fishing was in a couple of weeks.
