Route Lake, Ontario Fishing Trip Photos (3)


Time to Dine... The Shore Lunch was great and you can't get the fish much fresher. Glen pointed us to a few places to try for walleye and we headed out to catch some more. Note: that although Mona took this picture, she has a walleye in her left hand too.

Believe it... or not... this is another "Double" we had. Two different fish than the previous photo. John caught this Northern Pike with a jig and a minnow and we decided to keep this one to take home. We kept some from Eagle Lake, Ontario several years ago and they are good eating.

Glen took a few minutes to show us how to Fillet the Northern Pike with few bones if any. The Wisconsin DNR put out a flyer demonstrating one technique of doing it but I haven't had any luck with that way. They do it different in Canada and it seems to work better. If you're not catching fish in Route Lake, you can take your boat and roll it over these rollers a few hundred feet to a different Lake. We were satisfied with where we were on this trip.

The camera is actually on the kitchen table with the patio door open as we took this photo. We're standing on the front deck that overlooks the Lake. (Should have used a flash... but it's too late now.) The wind didn't die down too much while we were there. This particular sunset was shot during one of those rare occurances.
