Last weekend Steve, Chase & I went on a boat ride from Igloolik to the Melville Peninsula (or as the Inuit call it "Canada") with our friends Lily, Steve A., Maren, Jay & Jay's dog Sam. It was a beautiful day in the 50s. Steve A., Jay, and Maren all caught ocean char on spinning rods and Steve V., with help from Chase who was in the sling, caught his first ocean char on a fly rod - he was excited! Steve's hoping Chase is a fish whisperer already. We went on walks and saw Phalaropes (& their chicks), Snow Geese, Eiders, Terns, and various other ducks & gulls. The flowers, including arctic poppies and dwarf fireweed were in gorgeous bloom. We saw harp and ringed seals on our boat ride back - it was a wonderful day! Oh and the first photo is of Steve & Chase last week catching one of their first lake char on a fly rod - this shows the sling method, complete with the fly in the fish's mouth :)
