FISHERMAN continued from 27


our journey and trolled as we went. We missed a few large pike and landed several walleye in the next couple of hours. I missed what would have been a PB walleye as well. From this point on we started


catching large pike. We caught several others in the 10-20 lb. range. But I think these three were the largest -- all caught within 20 minutes. One night, while setting up camp,


we saw a motorboat coming up the river. They stopped on the opposite side and started fishing. After we set up, the boat came over. It was a Cree man and his wife. They had just come from checking their sturgeon nets. We invited them to join us by the campfire. They stayed for a couple of hours and shared many stories with us. He told us about tracking moose on snowshoes in his


youth, hunting caribou, geese, etc. I think they enjoyed visiting with us as much as we enjoyed their company, because he came back bright an early the next day after checking his sturgeon nets. Later in our trip we stopped at


a Cree village. They had a festival going on and were very happy to have visitors. The chief and his right hand man gave us a tour of the village. We showed the chief our intended route. He gave us some great fishing advice and told us where to find a large rock with pictographs on it. He suggested campsites for the next couple of nights as well. Visiting this village was an


amazing experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.
