Route Lake, Ontario Fishing Trip Photos (2)


Mona displays a few packs of Walleye ready for the freezer. Note the skin left on the fillet to identify the species of fish for the wardens when we go back across the border if need be. In case we couldn't catch any fish, we brought along a few meals of food to hold us over for the week. Johnsonville brats on the grill hit the spot today. Corn on the cob with plenty of butter wasn't too bad either.

Time to clean some fish. Note the can of beer on the right. That makes this job a lot more tolerable. We set the camera on timer to catch the next great photo. It looks like we're both haveing a bad hair day.

John caught and released this 30" Northern Pike in the Pike spot that we found. This is the largest fish caught and was also in the slot size for the Lake to be released. Two birds with one stone is next. We grilled up some Chicken Breast for Supper one evening with the intent of having chicken sandwiches for lunch the next day. The plan worked great as we had soup and sandwiches the next day.
Time for a cold brew and a shore lunch. Today we're going to eat some walleye so we can catch some more.

Simple Deep Fried Walleye Recipe

Mona dipped the walleye fillets in raw eggs and a little shot of beer then she breaded them with crushed saltine crackers and dropped them in frying pan with about an inch of hot oil in it. A little pinch of salt when they're done add some fried potatoes, tartar sauce, a rye bread and onion sandwich and you have the perfect Shore Lunch.
