Fishin' with Grandad

Well, I'm in Cochrane for May Run Weekend... that's what they call it here, not May 2-4. Who knew? I took the bus up on Friday night, that'll become relevant in later posts. I left Kitchener by bus at 8:45pm and left toronto at 11:30pm. Faith picked me up at 10am in Matheson (1 hr drive from cochrane, although it was another 1 1/2 hours on bus) and we went to Timmins to get our extra bang for our optimum point buck. When we left Timmins, we were thoroughly exhausted and hoped to have a smoothe trek to Cochrane about 1 hr drive normally... alas, the Highway between cochrane and Timmins was closed due to ICE. It was freezing raining... ugh. We had to backtrack quite a bit... Poor suckers camping this weekend... We saw a moose on the highway on our journey back... stupid stupid animals. They just wander onto the highway then wander off into the wilderness...

Anyways, the weather was a bit nicer Monday and I went fishing with Grandad... We got in the canoe and landed about 6 or 7 pike, ranging about 3lbs - 5 lbs in weight, in about an hour and a half. I got pictures of one, this one turned out particularly cool with the focus etc. Anyways, later. Hope your may run was as runny as mine.
