a solid sunday on beaver lake... with fish!!

Man was Sunday awesome. Tom and I packed the canoe on truck 2 and headed up to beaver lake. We were expecting ice on the lake, since Friday night there was still a lot. We were blown away by the 0% ice factor. i guess plus 25 does that to ice. we met mike lau up there and proceeded to do some fishing. I'd never caught a fish in BC before, and this was going to be the year where i finally break that streak.
beaver lake.  where did the ice go?  it was there on friday
The sun was blazing and we didn't waste any time getting on the water.

me.  canoeing.
We found some ice in a little bay.  We reeled in our lines and headed straight for it.  What a blast!  plowing through the icy slush and trying not to pull a titanic.

tom.  the canoe.  ice.
We explored around an island and made our way through a literal maze of dead heads.
paddling through the dead flood zone
up a small creek we found some crazy water fall foam.  Know what i mean?

We also found fish!!  i broke my dry spell.  had tons of luck.  so much it wasn't luck.  it was skill.  Landed 3 trout and christine and i had fish for dinner.

We checked out another island.  Christine and I had canoed past it last year and saw a camp site on it.  This time we stopped to check it out.  It is where we will be spening May long weekend me thinks.  You are invited.
may long, this is where we will be.  camping and fishing on this island

What a solid adventure.  Can't wait to do it again next weekend.  Same bat time, same bat channel.
