I think that there's a reason that red and white are the Canadian colors. For the first four days fishing, the only flies that would catch fish were either a red and white zonker leech or a red and white clouser minnow. The lake trout pictured above was pretty typical of what I caught. This was caught with a quite light 5 weight fly rod.

Bugs were non-existant. We were prepared with sprays, lotions, bug suits. Thankfully, the wind and cool weather kept them away.

About the fourth night, one of my tent mates answered the call of nature at 1a.m. and promptly roused everyone to come see the northern lights. It was our first clear night and the lights went from horizon to horizon at an angle of about 60 degrees and to the south of us. That's how far north we were.

I've been back now for two weeks and I'm just about finished scanning film. I've printed a few snapshots for friends. But, the exhibit images will start getting prepped in earnest this week.
