Photographic Memories Of Fun Days Afield And On The Water

WE ENJOY SEEING pictures of your fishing and hunting accomplishments—and learning the stories behind them. Please e-mail us your images, along with any relevant details (who, what, where and when), and we’ll post them on Instagram and publish our favourites here.

Victoria, B.C.’s Mike Smith and his son, Declan, were all smiles catching and releasing brawny smallmouth bass on Lac Seul in northwestern Ontario late last June. “This was a bucket-list trip for me, and we had a blast,” says Mike. “The fish were big and strong and super-fun to catch!”

Anola, Manitoba’s Dyana Cyncora was on a fishing road trip last September when she caught this white sturgeon on the Fraser River near Maple Ridge, B.C., with Golden Ears Fishing Adventures. “I thought I was getting pulled overboard!” she says of the 60inch catch. “I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”

Three generations of the Nichol family were on hand when 10-year-old Taevin of Smiths Falls, Ontario, caught his very first largemouth bass early last August. Watching it all happen on Ontario’s Rideau Lake were Taevin’s father, Bryan, and his grandfather, Dave.

Ever since she caught this perch last summer on Saskatchewan’s Round Lake, four-year-old Courtlynn Hudacek has been asking when she can go fishing again with “Grumpa,” family friend Doug Trowell. It looks like the Tantallon, Saskatchewan, youngster is another lifelong angler in the making! OC
