My first time get a big fish in Canada

My friend, Christian Plancette and I went together fishing at Lac Pelletier, less than one hour from Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada by a car on May 26th, 2007 after three days of my birthday. We were two of us fishing at the lake, but not for long because in some minutes later we did get any luck from the fish to eat our worm from the fishing rod, so then we moved to the Duncun Dump, just a few minutes west from the lake.

At Duncun Dump, we finally got some big fish from our fishing because we knew that the place was good to fish. Christian is from Dijon, France who's hobby is to fish, so he brought his fishing rod from Dijon when he visited me and Chantal in Swift Current, Saskatchewan for two weeks. I like to fish too, but I don't fish regularly because I don't have friend to fish with. When he came here, he asked me 'Do you want to fish?' and then I said yes. We finally went to Lac Pelletier (Lake Pelletier) in south of Swift Current for a day.

There, he taught me how to fish and after that I just tried the way he taught me, for some minutes later I got quiet big fish (you will see on the pictures) and he got some too. I was so excited when I got the big fish, so I asked him to take picture of me with the fish I got and he did took picture of me and I took picture of him too. Later on, I sent some of the pictures about fishing to my family back in Lombok, Indonesia and they were surprised with the pictures that I got very big fish.

We went to Saskatchewan Landing to fish on Sunday, 27th of May 2007 after yesterday fish at Lac Pelletier. Here, we hired someone to take us fishing and he also fishing in the river. We got some fish too over there like Walleye and Northern Pike too. The cost to hire him was CAD$40/person. Not too bad.

I would like to go to fish again in the future if I have some friends to go with them because I could talk about anything, not just watching my fishing rod's thread being eaten by the fish.

My first time catch a big fish in Canada
This fish is Northern Pike, fish species that live in Saskatchewan. I was very happy that I got one like this big one.

At Duncun Dump, Christian caught a big Northern Pike (name of the fish) at first and I was a little envy about that, but some minutes later I caught one and bigger than his.

Fishing as a hobby
Fishing is a fun hobby, but sometimes we are tired that our fishing rod get stuck on something.

Christian like to fish
As a result, he caught the fish more than I did.

We brought some fish from Lac Pelletier, Saskatchewan
As you can see, we just got home from the lake. Here, we had some big fish that we brought from the lake and some of them we ate them right away and some also we kept them in the freezer.

Rest time
It was a bit rain when we fished and also we were tired, so we took a rest and peed at the designated area that provide by the park, also clean the fish there.

Fishing at Sask. Landing with a boat
Right after we fished at Lac Pelletier, the next day which was Sunday, 27th of May 2007, we hired someone to take us to the Saskatchewan Landing river to fish there for a day. So here we are on the boat, we just took rest. From this river, we caught some fish like Walleye and Northern Pike too, so we brought them home. Some we ate them and kept too. The cost was about CAD$40/person and we were two who was fishing, me and Christian and Chantal just watched us fishing.

Waley
Christian caught a small waley at the Saskatchewan Landing - Provincial park.

American White Pelican
Here you see it flies. American White Pelicans migrate to the south like to Florida, USA in cold season and in warm seasons they come back to Canada. They migrate like other birds like Canadian geese.

American White Pelican
On the river, we saw American White Pelican and they were two of them as you can see. American White Pelican is a huge bird, you will see how big when you see it closely or when it flies

Fishing is over
We got to pay the guy who took us during the tour, as you see Chantal made the payment to him.

Our tour fishing is over
Here, just paid the man on the boat for our tour and he just gone. We went to our car after that and went home.
