ᓂᒃᓯᒃ - niksik - fishing hook

We were advised that the next two weeks is prime fishing due to some kind of change with the tide. In fact, we were practically guaranteed that we'd catch a fish. Since our last two attempts at fishing left us hookless and emptyhanded, we were eager to try again. 

We went near the causeway, where the tide was rising quite quickly. The dry rocks that we initially stood on soon became submerged under the icy, crystal clear water. A stiff cool breeze made us wish we'd worn toques and gloves, but who really wants to put those on in August?! A beautiful sunset accompanied our efforts and we were soon rewarded with two small char.

Charolette showing us good fishing fashion and form!

She caught the first fish - an itty bitty Arctic char

Josh and Char trying to pull out that barbed hook ... ouch

The sunset begins around 9 pm these days

Beautiful nature

Josh and his catch - which he insists is bigger than Charolette's fish
