In autumn the mosquitoes, black flies and noseeums go back to hell where they belong making camping more enjoyable but also the brook trout undergo morphological changes as spawning nears. The males develop a slight hook and extension of the lower jaw, build up of musculature just ahead of the dorsal fin and ofcourse the bright color changes. They also get black coloration inside the mouth and at the anterior of the belly.

I upgraded my fishing net with a custom order from @riversongnets and hit the North woods & water in search of Brook Trout. The speckled charr were in their spawning regalia against a backdrop of autumn foliage.
How many of you eat mushrooms? Have you tried wild foraged fungus? Lotta good flavor and texture and color! Go check out a farmers market and pick some up if you havn't tried em. #Grifola frondosa
No snooze button crew. Chasing that autumn flush. Hit up @theforagedfeast to purchase culinary delight!
Last photo drop of my recent trip out. One of the nights I paddled down the grassy section of the cedar river flow up and over beaver dams until I hit the NP trail. A short portage to the carry leanto and a short paddle upriver to check out carry pond just up a little hill. The pond was shallow and full of newts and lacked an established campsite so I made a decesion to continue on and float back down the cedar river. It paid off with a beautiful site and sunset!
Another pond explored. This one was a four mile portage with some beaver activity that washed out part of the trail. No bother to me, plenty of experience with that after the Little Tupper traverse trip.
