Motorboat Dem Rapids!+Pearl Jam

A few years ago the oldest son and I took a Pearl Jam + Fishing vacation. We flew to Vancouver and enjoyed the city for a few days, then caught the Vancouver PJ show. Next morning we flew to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, caught some puddle jumpers, ending-up in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, 500 miles north of the Canadian border. At La Ronge, the folks from "Angler Rapids" fishing lodge sent a float plane. After a half hour flight up the Churchill River we came to Angler Rapids, a rustic yet comfortable lodge in a gorgeous wilderness setting. September days at Angler Rapids are crisp & clear. Nights with an autumn moon reflecting off the water and a sky full of stars are impossibly beautiful. (In other seasons visitors get displays from Aurora Borealis). But it's the waterway that is truly impressive. The water here is always churning underneath your boat. This fast, cold rushing current provides Angler Rapids with some of the best Walleye & Northern Pike fishing we've experienced. After 3 days of FANTASTIC fishing, cooking our catch outdoors over open wood-fires, we had to make our way back home. But it was OK, we caught Pearl Jam again, this time in Saskatoon, from the 2nd row, Stone's side of the stage.
