Roostmonkey Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Just got back from Labrador where I was fishing for trophy Brooktrout and thought I'd share a couple of pics. The fish are amazing and being that far away from any civilization is just an incredible feeling.No cell's, no PC, no other planes flying except our De Haviland Beaver floatplane. At one point we were 300 miles away from the nearest town casting dry's to Arctic Char, watching eagles fly around and Otters swiming here and there. There was still patches of snow in the shaded spots and the water was 52 degrees. I'm not a very spiritual guy but I definatley felt something uplifting and special happening to my soul while I was there.Thats all I have to say about that. Anyway, enjoy the pics.

OlderThanMe Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Looks like you had a blast! I know about being on the water in the cold!!! I was in sailing class on a 26 foot catamaran and it as 42 degrees outside! That and add water spray and wind. That is the kind of retreat I want to go on! Nice fish too.

cygnusx1 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Everyone should get away from civilization for a while and see what the real world looks like. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCchris Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Man, that looks like a killer trip! I'm envious! Did you do the stream side lunch with fresh caught fish? Doesn't get any fresher or better than that. A trip lik this always does the soul good. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostmonkey Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 The brookies are catch and release only but when I went further north for Arctic Char, we did just that, got a nice fire going on the rocky bank and wrapped em up in tinfoil with some onions and tomatoes, S&P and cooked em up streamside. It ranks right up there with best meal to date. They were still twitchen when we wrapped em up....mmmmm fresh fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
