So that's the boy doing some authentic Canadian cliff jumping right there. We just got back from the Canadian wilderness where we fished our brains out. The walleye action was fast and furious and the weather was ideal. We got into the woods on August 6th at which point the air temp was touching 70 degrees and the water was a brisk 65 degrees (Louie, please convert this to Celsius as you see fit). Anyway, about Sunday, a high moved in and we started to see temperatures in the 80's. The water temperature followed suit and the swimming became glorious. Normally when the water temp changes that much, the fish can be tougher to catch, but we managed to still put up big numbers everyday. We didn't keep count, but I'd have to guess that everyone in our group was catching 30 to 40 fish per day average. One day we were all fishing in the same general location and we must have all caught 50 a piece in less than two hours. It was truly amazing. I can't wait to do it again. Anyway, additional photos below. Enjoy.

The fishing was so good, the Boy thought he'd try while atop my shoulders...no luck doing:

Here's one of the whole group at the end of the dock:

A little naked boating...you know...boating while naked (the weather was that glorious and it's a great way to dry off if you don't have a towel):

That Viking Blog outpost is shameful. It appears as though Jackson didn't even write it, but that his papa did.
