wind and lots of it

Well the improved fishing was short-lived. I did manage to catch two more pike at the dam on "Little Lake" last night, but the best bit about that jaunt was the news from someone camping next to the lock that I should try a spot where the locals go beneath the dam. We'll try that tonight.

In the meantime, we went to a provincial park on Six Mile Lake and rented a canoe. The wind was strong and the canoe was of ultralight kevlar construction, so we were blown all over the place. But I caught another couple of pike and my first muskie. The Girl and The Boy caught some panfish. But they seemed to have more fun with catching frogs at the cottage when we got back.
