The weather was quite wet at the start of the trip, and the ground remained quite wet for the duration of our 2 day stay. It made for some very high humidity especially in the camper!
Most of the fishing in Big Sandy is for Northern Pike (AKA Jackfish) but there are other species as well such as Walleye (AKA Pickerel). We were after the Pike because of the fun fight they typical put out after biting your hook. And...they didn't disappoint and we were able to land about 8 pike with about the same being released because of their smaller size.
All-in-all a very enjoyable fishing trip albeit a tiny bit too short especially for cousin Ian who LOVES fishing! Looking forward to another outing in the future.
