St Lawrence Adventure

[Mark Quinney]

I have just had an amazing week on the St Lawrence river in Canada. First fish of the trip was a 24lber, followed by countelss other hard fighting twenties, 5 in one day, my PB was smashed nearly every day, and topped by a glorious 35.8lb fish. Anyone thinking of going, go for it, its well worth it. The takes are vicious and the fights are arm wrenching, fish actually making me lose my balance...superb !!

i was talking to an old chap the other day who did a trip there himself ,on returning he gave up fishing in england because it just wasent the same ,2 years later he was just starting up again on crucian something he missed and just not available elswhere ,in a pleasent pond he coulld sit and relax and most probably relive his trip whilst lazily basking in the sun of an english pond .

his most vivid memory was of huge carp basking and totaly unafraid of shadows of watchers even a few yards away.

Original large pic of the fish.

 

 

Not sure if this has worked but here is the 35.8lb common I caught.

 

edit note: the picture name had spaces in it and our posting software can't deal with that. Also, 640x480 is about the largest that most folks can easily see on a PC screen and that will load in a reasonable time for dial-up members. I shrunk a copy and posted it plus put in a link to your original. Newt
