A Parker on Lac St. Pierre

[Don Kaas]

Got 12 walleye (dore blanche et noir) this afternoon. Lost a few more at the boat. I cooked roasted canvasbacks, fried hominy and collards for the boys for dinner tonight washed down by some Dickel No.8. We are in "Southern" Quebec, afterall. Kevin and I shot the cans over the ice at my club in Maryland in January. Fried walleye fillets tomorrow...the wind has picked up this evening and we are hoping for a better day tomorrow. Kevin and I will be shooting the lodge's prime spot in the morning, "the Bay", a marsh pond in the middle of their 1200 acres just off the big river. We have done good work there before... Destry will shoot solo on one of the canal blinds bordering the DU sanctuary...

In the blinds this morning at 0620, shooting commenced at 0630. Kevin and I limited out at 0702. Blacks, mallards and one ringneck. We saw hundreds of ducks. We then boated back to pick up Destry who had 4 down including a banded mallard drake. We set back into the reeds and watched him finish his limit with his big Parker on a black and a mallard in the next 10 minutes. We were back at the lodge by 0850. A trip into town and walleye fillets for dinner tonight

I haven't spent a lot of time in Quebec, but on one great hunting trip to Baie Comeau, when it was the "end of the paved road", the trip to town was very nice. I fell in love with a restaurant waitress who did more than her best to make me comfortable in post Rene Levesque Quebec. By the way, the love affair did not last much past breakfast.
