Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

Just back from a week in Manitoba fishing. Whoa Nellie, was it COLD up there. I fished in long underwear/bibs and no less than 4 wool shirts every day. I will post some pics later. A couple of times we got out of the wind for shore lunch and thought it might be getting warmer...then back into the wind and 48 degree water temps and we soon realized we had to go back on with everything we had. Reminded me of deer hunting. Fishing was slow for Canada. We had a 42" and a 41.5" northern as well as some in the upper 30s. But not as good as it could be. Give them a week and look out. Walleyes were slow, most of time we had problems catching them under the 21.75" slot though. Hardly caught anything under 19" and only 1 walleye the whole trip under 17", so they were nice size. Biggest 'eye was 26". Did I mention it was COLD???
