Fish

TerMaats have so many fish pictures that look similar to this one that it
gets boring. (Although, why is Dad holding up 2 fingers?)

So I was happy to stumble on these pictures.
The pail of crappies is really a more typical catch than the humongous pike.

And this is great. For some weird reason I always loved to
watch Dad gut and fillet fish. I'm glad this part of the ritual was documented.

Mickey at Deer Lake

These were probably taken in 1978.

This is my favorite. Packed and ready to go!

Deer Lake in Winter

Recently, Pete, Mom and I were reminiscing about our trips to Deer Lake in the winter, which Pete was too young to remember. He was particularly interested in the logistics, eg. the snowshoes used to hike in, but unfortunately there is no photographic record for that. But we do have photos collected from 1968, '69 and '71. Evie was along for the fun in '68.

Deer Lake 1967

So I figured out how to embed these little slideshows in the blog! Just click below to see a set of pictures from Deer Lake, summer of 1967. Lots of fish and fisherpersons, but also visits from AK & Angelyn and Robert Haan.



Note that if you roll your mouse over the picture so you can see a little symbol with four arrows and you can click on it, it will expand the slideshow to fill your screen. Or you can view the slideshow here or browse the set here.
