Just completed a trip with my twin brother, who works in England, and his British friend Steve. We all flew back home to Wisconsin and then we drove to Armstrong, Ontario and flew into the back country about 70 miles on a float plane for a week of fishing. Kind of a bittersweet trip as I have not been fishing with my brother for over 15 years and our father just passed away. My father used to take us every year up to Canada fishing.
So a few pics and am waiting for my brother to email me some pics too of big brook trout we caught up there. Used fly and spinning rods. Story to follow.
A few teaser pics:

We had a few visits from local bears.
One of them was a big boy. He seemed more interested in eating the the newly sprouted dandelions
The smaller bear brought 3 cubs with her

Nice fishing in Ontario, too bad they have made it very difficult and expensive to bear hunt, as well as eliminating the spring bear season. We used to get a lot of bears near Ignace, ONT. In fact, my parents are there right now at their cabin.

Sweet pictures. Looks like you had a blast. Was great you got to fish with your brother. I am planning on doing the same thing this year, all five of us have a little tournie. Have not fished with them for at least ten + years.

Awesome pics! I have never caught a pike, I think they look like such cool prehistoric fish. Great bears too. That first one looked none too happy to see you.
Congrats on a great time. I bet the brit loved it.
Cheers~
