Stellar report Pat - that is a gorgeous looking brookie you have there. Always look forward to looking at your reports and pictures which make me question when I'm going back to visit. A friend of a friend said the water is way up high this year, can you confirm?

Thanks for the report

Great report, and that is a great coaster!

Like dozer I also look forward to your reports, makes me miss the north, if only there wasn't that 11 hour drive in the way lol

Thanks Dozer & river55 the water is very high this year and the Black Bears are getting bolder since the closure of the spring bear hunt.
A friend of the fellow that owns that World War 2 trainer 1941 Piper Cub was attacked just a couple of weeks before I headed in on a lake close by.
He said it was all he could do to get his chainsaw started to scare it off before it got in the boat with him.
Yeah that 11 hour drive is a killer especially when you get past Sault Ste Marie... (Probably the worst part of the Trans Canada Highway in Canada) in my opinion at least...

Yep he looked pretty shocked to me too... A female MNR worker was dragged into the bush by a Black Bear just down the road a couple of years ago too before her male co-worker stabbed it saving her life with believe it or not a pen knife..
Hope you get up this way next year you take better pictures than me Dozer!

The Brazilian Rub recipe calls for Atlantic Salmon but I substituted Speck... Plate as follows: Brazilian Rub/ Zuccini Fritters & Whitehouse Rice a favourite of John F. Kennedy.

Thanks here is that recipe (Brazilian Rub)... http://www.food.com/recipe/salmon-with-brazilian-rub-65576
It went well with Whitehouse Rice a favourite of JFK before he bit the bullet so it also went with fishing with a 12 guage shot gun & slugs in bear country.

Thanks it's a pretty good recipe which caramelizes the brown sugar & orange juice/zest making it like candy.
I try and get out tomorrow for stocked specks and post Mr. F. Noob.

Thanks Catfish & coldfeet I met a fellow that was guiding for Brook Trout on the Sutton River in Polar Bear Provincial Park that said he punched one in the nose. Apparently it entered his tent and was standing right over him. He was sleeping with his rifle but couldn't reach it this spit second response saved his skin.

David Thompson carved this symbol in his paddles after meeting Chief Sitting Rabbit before surveying Fort Astoria prior to Lewis & Clark.
I think that the bottom line is too protect self,stay by your camp fire, hold your ground but we don't have Polar Bears thank god!
