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.

our swath of destruction through the 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?
