Title: In at Nym first week of June
Post by jimmar on May 10^th, 2012 at 2:02pm

On Sunday June 3, I’ll be putting in at Nym Lake and making my way down to Sturgeon Lake then back. Two years ago I did this trip with my 20 something son (trip report and gallery photos on QJ) and we really hammered the big pike. We had a great time, it was my best trip ever, just the two of us. I’ll be repeating that same route this time with his twin brother. We’ll be paddling the canoe I made just for this trip…If anyone is in the area the same time and happens to see us…paddle up and say hi!

Another gorgeous boat.........

It must be a very special feeling, those first paddle strokes at the start of a trip in a boat that you have made. Very nice! :thumbup

Make sure you have a good stringer of walleyes trailing behind the boat again to get those big pike fired up ;)

mastertangler....thanks - it's good to know someone reads (and remembers) my trip reports. I'd write them anyway 'cause I enjoy it. I like reading them and looking at photos of previous trips. Call me sentimental I guess.

It is kinda special to make a trip in a boat I built, add in the time with my son, some luck fishing and good weather and you've got one very happy camper.
