Fishing at Wiley Point Lodge, May 19-25, 2001
My father in law, Vic Musgrave, was kind enough to invite  me along on his 20th fishing adventure in 21 years.  The destination  this time was Wiley Point Lodge on Lake of the Woods, Ontario, Canada.   We had a great time despite the finicky smallies (smallmouth bass) and spurts of foul weather.
I flew out to St. Louis, and Vic and I drove the 1000 miles to Totem Lodge on Lake of the Woods where we were boated out to our remote lodge.  We arrived, prepared our tackle, and headed off to fish!
Below are some photos we took during the trip.  Click on them to see larger versions.

Here is Wiley Point Lodge as viewed from the end of one of their docks.

Vic landed this monster Pike on the evening of our arrival - a sign of things to come!

I landed this 36" Northern the next morning in good ole' Joe's Bay!!  Boy, what a big fish!  This beautiful fish earned a smooch!

Same old 36"-er, the spinner on my mangled buzz bait still stuck in the net.

The big fish in the "booot".

Driving the booot back from Joe's Bay in the rain for lunch.  Catching big fish makes me happy!

Vic loves driving the booot in the rain, too!!!

Despite the frigid rain, we went jigging for walleye.  MY THUMB!!!

Here I stand on Mack Island (seriously!) where we ate lunch one cool day.

Vic's first Muskallung (Muskie).  Ain't it cute!?

My first Muskie (we think).  Almost as cute as Victor's.
More to come!
