You are right about wet snow being no fun when snowshoeing, Anna. It sticks to everything and, if one is clumsy like I tend to be, you get wet real fast. Hope you have fun today. :smile:
Not to mention with these plastic outerwear thingies, if your feet get bogged and body keeps moving, it's sometimes reasonable to figure you'll end up scooting at a fair velocity down a hill with feet in the air. Sort of like boarding on your back. :D

I've got a pair of high-tech snowshoes for climbing steep hills and the claws are huge! Wet snow clogs them and I have to keep shaking or cleaning them off - so much for high-tech. I usually end up face down with my feet tangled - have to laugh at myself though as I know I look hilarious. :lol::lol:

Next weekend im going to lake trout, whitefish or ling

Not being up on fishing, I don't know if any of those species you first mentioned are here in Canim Lake but I do know that we have lake trout and it makes a really fine fish and chip dinner.
