Five other couples joined Linna and I for a beautiful fall weekend in the Winthrop, Washington area for a three day weekend filled with food, friendship and fun.

All of us hiked up Maple Pass on Saturday and spent most of our time taking pictures of the fall colors.

We Got To The Maple Pass Parking Lot About 7:30 a.m. And All The Parking Spots Were Full So We Parked Along Highway Like Everybody Else.

Canada Fishing Trip, August 2021

I was lucky to be asked to come along on a 5 day fishing trip up in Ontario, Canada at Press Lake.

Press Lake Camp www.presslake.on.ca is the only resort on this pristine lake of 73 miles round. It’s filled with tasty Walleye, aggressive Northern Pikes and good size Smallmouths. You will have the lake to yourself most of the time, you hardly see other fishing boats. The resort is owned by a super nice guy (Ryan Nicholas) that will make sure you know where the fish are and how to fish for them.

Most of the days we caught our limit of Walleye and threw back a bunch of Northern Pike.

Noticed the death grip on my Northern Pike! This fishing trip was the first time I have fished for Northerns.
