char fishing


Char are now running in the river and I was lucky enough to get one about 200m from my front door on Friday evening. They will only be in the mouth of the river for about a week before they move upstream. There were quite a few people from the hamlet out tonight and I saw a number of char being caught. On Saturday a most of the teachers from the school were taken on a bumpy 25km bus ride to the DEW line station. Quite a set up. Of course they are unmanned now, but are still operated remotely. We stopped at a lake which is part of the river system that flows into the hamlet. I was able to catch another char there. I'll be trying to get out most evenings while they are in the vicinity of the hamlet.
