After spending a week in the deep snowy wintry wilderness of Northern Minnesota I don’t think we were ready to leave. Daily treks on snowmobile into various trout lakes, nightly sauna sessions, and good times had by all. We had a different adventure each day. I think the pictures speak for themselves…

Less than five minutes of fishing and Drew catches his biggest brook trout to date.

This trail was our biggest challenge of the trip. A steep side hill navigating around boulders, rocks, trees, brush and trying to keep the sled on the trail.
