Later on I'll try to give some tips on catching these fish. The fish grow slower in canoe country because it gets so cold during the winter months. The fishing is so good because there are very few people who fish the remote lakes in the park. Large fish are usually a part of a canoe trip. The waters are also populated with turtles - some of which are quite large.
Frogs are frequent in the marshy areas.
In shallow waters, crayfish can be found that provide a neat snack to add to the menu after being boiled. I have not mentioned snakes. That is because there aren't very many. The weather is so severe during the winter that snakes have a hard time surviving. There are no poisonous snakes and about the only snake I have ever seen is a tiny garter snake that was quick to leave.
