From early childhood "Canadian Fishing" held a certain mystique for me .  l looked forward to the day I would be able to go on such a trip.  And that time actually came approximately 15 years ago when a gentleman from church invited my son, me, and several others along for a week stay.  I have been going back ever since ( approximately 9 years) and look forward to each trip.  That first time we took a  school bus converted into a camper, a tent, canoes, a generator, small deep freeze and of course fishing gear.   We camped along side a logging road in the wilderness.  As I said earlier, this was enough to hook me.  I still "rough it" when I go to Canada.  I drive to the lake/camp site, pulling my boat.  I still feel young enough to be able to tent it.  Sometimes it's pretty hard getting out of the warm sleeping bag on a cool fall morning, but when I do the rewards are fantastic.  Putting on a pot of coffee, breathing in such fresh air, and occasionally seeing wildlife.  It's so peaceful as there is seldom any one else around.  And then to get out on the lake.  Fishing has always been good.  No monster walleye yet, my biggest was a 5 pounder.  I have caught several northern in the 39" - 42" range though.  That was like pulling a log off the bottom!  Wildlife is abundant of course.  One morning I woke up to see moose tracks in camp.  One afternoon my fishing buddy and I heard bellowing so we went down to the lake to check it out.  Saw four or five moose across the bay jumping from a bluff into the lake.  I've had loons swim within 10 feet of the boat, even had beavers playing and watching me trolling that were as close as 25 feet.  On one visit I left the slidding window on my topper open just enough to circulate the air.  When I got in from fishing I went into the topper to get something to eat.  I chased a ground squirrel out.  He liked my trail mix as much as I did.  I had 10 bags made up, he ate two bags of it and chewed into the rest!  This area I fish is a frequently fished lake in the warmer months.  Usually I have the entire lake to myself for a week when I am there.  On my last visit I was somewhat disheartened when I arrived and someone was camping where i had hoped to set up.  But that soon changed as I spoke with them and got to know them.  Mike was in his early 80' and Lorraine ?  and from Canada.  What an interesting couple.  They had an ATV, small boat set up, and a medium sized RV.  One day while eating breakfast inside he looked out the window and saw a bear staring back at him.  Mike said he put the ATV in front of the window to keep the bear away.  The next morning the bear was standing on the ATV looking in.  Guess he must have been hungry when he smelled the eggs and bacon.  He said they travel through Canada until the snow hits them in the behind, then they head for Florida.  He was out chopping wood only weeks after having surgery.  Talk about being fit.  He and his wife were so interesting to talk with.  On that note, I have to say in all my visits to Canada the folks I have met have been very welcoming and pleasant.  
I actually start planning the next Canadian trip as I'm driving back out of the wilderness.  I am not sure if I appreciate the fishing, the solitude, or scenery the most.  It's a "different world", one I definitely intend to return to .
