Another Day of Fishing ...

Whiteswan Lake
We decided to take the boat up to Whiteswan Lake yesterday...
it was a long way back off the highway ...
35 km on a winding logging road ...
when we arrived ...
it was far too windy to launch the boat ...
terrible storm brewing ...
we toured the around the lake and then headed back down the mountain ...
As we travelled to around the 18 km mark ...
we saw what looked a small black cat on the side of the road ...
but found it to be a baby bear ...
with its sibling near by ...
we stopped the truck ...
Mike took the picture from inside the cab ...
then saw momma bear at the base of the tree ...
she was a huge brown bear ...
we were not able to get a picture as she quickly called the cubs ...
and they headed down the gorge ...
We were not ready to call it quits ...
so we thought we would head to Premier Lake ...
to check if we could go fishing ...
it seemed this lake was protected from this wind ...
so we launched the boat ...
fished for a few hours ...
lost a few ... but ...
landed 2 nice 1 lb Rainbow trout in the boat...
on our way out ...
we captured a few picture of the lilies ...
and the loon...
it was another awesome day ...!


Ready for the BBQ ... !
