Just got back from my Ontario fly-in fishing trip....here's the report and pics.
Four of us flew 85 miles north of Armstrong to an outpost cabin on a 10,000 acre lake for an 8 day outing. Two of the guys I was with had been there the week before and had hit the brook trout run in the river, that was now done.....but one of our guys got a 22" brookie in a bay while walleye fishing (photo below).
The walleye fishing was the best ever....we ate fish 4X...photo of an uncooked platter, and a plate with fish, cheesy hash browns, beans, cole slaw, drink of choice. I fought with some high winds on several days while running the motor, but still caught 219 walleye, and 39 northern pike. I was by far the laggard on the fish count.

The biggest northern was 37", and walleye 27". Average walleye was 19" {no shit!!!). On the last day we decided to keep some slot size (28") northerns to take home with the four walleyes each that we were allowed. (photo of them laid out before cleaning).
The guy in the other boat had a close encounter with a moose and a wolf, but our boat won the exotic animal award with a wolverine. The photo of a beaver lodge has the wolverine on top trying to dig his way into it. The beaver had evacuated and was out in the lake giving the stink eye to the intruder.
On the return flight, there were four
