Total trip length was over 200km, starting at Artery Lake in Ontario near the Manitoba border. The end point was the Bloodvein First Nation on Lake Winnipeg. We averaged about 25km a day which usually gave us enough time to scout and run all the runnable rapids (CI to some CIII) and catch a few fish - mostly cat and a few pickerel with one night of mooneye. Trip casualties totaled three lures and one fingernail - all mine.
This is a part of a pickerel I caught on the river. The black-tinged thing is the interior of a golf-ball sized lump on the upper part of the fish's back. Several biologists on the trip did not know what it was - do any readers have an idea? The lump was under the scales but there appeared to be a small bleeding cut just under it. The flesh around the lump appeared unaffected but within it, it was a soupy mess as you see above.
