One of the things I like about my job, is that I get to travel to Canada. Generally, I am just in the Toronto or Winnipeg areas. I really like Winnipeg. In my youth, I was a canoe guide in the Quetico Provincial Forest and BWCA. I loved the woods.
So, I try to get out and see the area when I can. It's better than sitting in a bar, at least for me.
On this trip, I managed to get to the Lower Fort Garry area. Canada utilizes a lot of hydro-electric dams and sells some of its surplus electricity to the US.
I really wanted to grab a fishing rod and see how they were biting.
I'm not sure if this is totally accurate, it's been a long time, but I believe the last cast I made in Canadian water left me wanting to go back. Just as the lure was about 6 feet away, something hit it. The rod bent, the line broke, instantly. It was HUGE. And, I never saw it.
I wonder if that fish's great, great, great, great grandson is hiding in those waters.
