early spring photos taken on digital camera:

top) spring brookie fishin'. these fellas were starting to move down river when the ice began breaking up, and hitting heavy orange spoons and yellow or white jigs.

second from top) it was a pretty good day and i stopped to take a picture of the catch against the snow. the beauty of these fish and their colour still amazes me. you can also really see the difference between male and female in this picture based on colour and head shape.

middle) wayne rideout. never let a newfoundlander see your catch. they will force you to take a picture of them with it, and then claim the fish as their own. fish tales/lies is in their blood. andriy yermakov, the gym teacher, and mervin yellowback are in the background.

second from bottom) young riders band practice.

bottom) coldest night ever. drove out on the ice road to take a pic of the northern lights. could not give a shit how it looks, my fingers froze in 30 seconds and i had brutal blisters on my thumbs from the burn. i ran right back into the truck and drove home.
