After spending a week in the deep snowy wintry wilderness of Northern Minnesota I don’t think we were ready to leave. Daily treks on snowmobile into various trout lakes, nightly sauna sessions, and good times had by all. We had a different adventure each day. I think the pictures speak for themselves…
Drew and a fine specimen of a rainbow.
Another fat rainbow trout. Drew was killing it this day!
Mitch with his silvery ‘bow.
Joe finally landed this lake trout after losing a bigger one!
One day we had to try the community hole.
Drew admires the spots on this Northern Minnesota brook trout.
Less than five minutes of fishing and Drew catches his biggest brook trout to date.

Big buck brookie with a Big Kype!
This trail was our biggest challenge of the trip. A steep side hill navigating around boulders, rocks, trees, brush and trying to keep the sled on the trail.
Drew awaits a brook trout on the end of his line.
Drew levels a nice brookie for a quick picture.
