Canoe Camping in Canada
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:55 am
Just got back from a awesome canoe camping trip with Jon and family in Canada.
They picked me up in Chicago and we spent the night at Aunt Jeans. The next day we drove on to Uncle Dave and Aunt Pat's place in Nestor Falls. The next day we canoed in from Pinus lake up through Wigwam lakes and on to Kishkutena Lake. We camped on a little Island on Kishkutena that Uncle Dave and Aunt Pat had camped at before. We caught a bunch of small mouth bass on and around that island. We also did pretty well at hooking some muskies and bass by trolling around the island in the area. The muskies were so big that they were hard to tell from the bottom of lake. We caught plenty of fish so we didn't go hungry. For breakfast we had oatmeal with fresh blueberries. The mosquitoes weren't too bad but Jon and I both picked up a couple leeches. We camped at Kish for a few days and then paddled out to Wigwam where we camped at a little island that was full of mice.
On the last day we hung out with Uncle Dave and Aunt Pat at their place in Nestor Falls. Uncle Dave took us out fishing for Walleyes and we caught out limit.
It was great to see Uncle Dave, Aunt Pat and Aunt Jean. It was also great to hang out with Jon and Carrie and the nephs.
