God's Lake For the Voyageur Hudson Bay Expedition

The Voyageur Hudson Bay Expedition Crew is spending some time on God's Lake. They made it to a phone and Adam called his Dad to chat and told them they would be on God's Lake until the 27th. While the bugs have been bad, "Thousands of mosquitoes on the outsides of the tents in the morning." The fishing has been great, "July 9th at Robinson Falls Adam caught 40.5 inch Northern, Andy caught 40.5 inch Northern and on July 18th Adam caught 36 and 39 inch Northerns."

From Canoeing with the Cree...

"Say," Walt spoke up after a while., "why was it all those children were laughed at us when we walked up the pier with out fish?" Walt was proud of those fish, which weighted about seven pounds apiece. He had hooked them trolling on the way to the post, and when they were pointed at with fingers of scorn by several dozen Cree youngsters, his pride, his fishing pride, which goes far back in the Port family, was hurt.

"What kids of fish were they?" Ernest asked.

"Northern Pike."

"No wonder they laughed!" and the men proceeded to laugh also. "We call them jackfish. They go to the dogs for winter grub. People around here eat nothing but whitefish. Dont let the kids see you eat them. Better throw them to the pups outside. We have nice mess of whitefish if you must have fish to eat."
