EDITH MY SLUSH

One of my last ice fishing days due to the recent warm temperatures deteriorating the condition of the ice with pools of surface water and in spots over a foot of slush to negotiate through with the ATVs. We spent the afternoon fishing by Edith Island, previously a hot spot but came up skunked. Perhaps the fish have given up minnows for Lent.

FINAL GLANCE

A final glance from my launch site at Adams Bay, to the vista of the Venetia Group, a cluster of islands where I spent the past couple of hours threading my way amongst them, exploring them for the first time. It was a beautiful day and long weekend, and with the summer now half over, hopefully the remainder of it is as nice as it has been.

SUNSETS

A beautiful sunset from my favourite viewpoint and final stop before getting prepared for work. At The Rosseau the sun is also setting on our receivership status after recently being sold to Canadian Niagara Hotels. With a new boat arriving, at the lower left, and replacing the incumbent, I hope it's a smooth trip after the bumps from the wake.

MORNING MIST

With the recent cool weather at nights the mornings bring mist on the lakes, gradually lifting with the emerging sun. As the curtain is raised Edith and Wasan Islands appear, two of several islands that make up the Venetia Group, while between them in the background The Rosseau can be seen perched above the lake on a granite bluff.
