Finally took the 40th birthday fishing trip last week. We ended up going to Silsby Lake Lodge in Northern Manitoba. We had a great time, though the weather was not ideal -- we couldn't go out one day because of the wind, and as a result we only had three days to fish. Otherwise, a terrific time with pretty good fishing. We each caught at least one "Manitoba Master Angler" pike (over 41 inches), and tons of "teenagers" (between 35-41 inches). Here are a couple of my trophy pike:

A lot of forest fires up there as well. In most cases they just let them run their course. This one was just smoldering one day, then the wind picked up and the fire took off. This picture was from about 20 miles away:
