This past Sunday, “Free Family Fishing Weekend” I got Greg snuck out of his house again for a few hours to try our hand once more at Sturgeon fishing. So far our track record (for those keeping score on the actual “fish side” of things) has not been great this year.

Looks like it’s time to tie up some foam hoppers for fishing next week. They are freakishly huge this year here in Alberta, and the Trout will be keying in on them soon.

Well – this weekend was bittersweet. Saturday I convoyed out to Edson with the Ranger and Alex to share their base camp for the lower FTR exploration trip.
