There were great colors on the fish which improved as we fished upstream |

5-7 weight rods were the norm. You had to get down under the water with weighted wet nymphs sometimes |

The last day at the base camp. |
Flying back to Pickle Lake where we could finally take a hot shower. |
The first day was just getting to Thunder Bay. The next day we drove 7 hours north to Pickle Lake and repacked all our gear into expedition drums. The third day, we flew another 3 hours north to the Summit River and landed just before Hudson Bay, unpacked the plane into cargo canoes, and started upstream. And then finally, six straight days of fly fishing, canoe camping, and great meals in the Northern Woods.
