OC Outdoors: Fresh fish and fast friends in Manitoba

Rainy-day walleyes

Even the following rainy day (and forgetting to wipe my camera lens) couldn’t dampen our spirits, as Robin Esrock (left) author of the The Great Canadian Bucket List and host of TV’s Word Travels and I logged a five-species day, with the ever-present walleye, some respectable northerns, smallmouth, sauger and even a freshwater clam. Watch for more tales from this trip in an upcoming issue of Outdoor Canada, including the power of the outdoors to enthuse even the most citified of folks.
