Then... We hiked about a mile to Kingsmere Lake and I caught a nice Northern Pike shortly after I started fishing. We strung it on a long stick, threw it up on our shoulders and hiked out. We took the fish into town, had it filleted and wrapped in butcher paper for the reasonable fee of $.25. This provided us with several days of great tasting meals.
Now... High waters over the trail prevented a return to Kingsmere Lake, but we found cooperative (but smaller) pike at Hanging Heart Lake nearby. This time....catch and release.
This makes me smile :) Sorry your fish wasn't as big this time! But you still look just as cool!
