A Parker on Lac St. Pierre

[Don Kaas]

Thank you for the kind words...it was raining heavily this morning when we pushed off in the heavy Stanley boat towards the Isle du Pas marshes. Another boat of local clients preceded us into the darkness... Things didn't look good. We dropped Destry off with Jacques, a client from Montreal at a blind along a canal facing the DU refuge. Kevin and I went another half mile down the canal and set up in a similar blind. The rain tapered off about 0645 as foolish black duck split from his mate and Kevin fired. It was the blackie's last mistake. After that it was pass shooting. By 1000 we had eeked out our limits. Mallards, the unfortunate black, a gadwall and a single bluebill hen. Destry and Jacques only managed seven by the time we pulled up stakes. Tonight, I'll cook up some ribs and "Pogo" our head guide is joining us for dinner. Two more days and weather is said to be improving...we'll see...
