The MacGregors are on the road again!


We have set off on our next adventure, probably the last with our trailer. L After a quick journey across Saskatchewan and Manitoba we arrived in the beautiful Lake of the Woods, in Northern Ontario. Our friends, Andrew and Leslie have invited us out to do some fishing, seeking after the elusive and famous (to a fisherman) Muskie! They have built a lovely retirement house on a beautiful bay. What an amazing way to wake up every day!

We had several successful fishing expeditions, and everyone caught something!! Rianna was the only one of us to bring in a Walleye, which we kept and ate. The rest of us all caught Pike of various sizes. Sean’s were the biggest at 30 and 33 inches!

The Lake of the Woods is a true Canadian Shield lake, with islands covered in granite and trees. It is so easy to imagine the voyageurs and natives exploring these shores. Andrew tells us that the area of Sioux Narrows where all the furs came through during the Fur Trade, on their way to Montreal.
