Betty and Steve made the trek to Cree Lake too! It is so easy to drive to Fort McMurray and fly over to Cree Lake. There are three lodges on Cree Lake and Betty and Steve choose to head to Cree Lake Lodge (same as us). It was fun to run into Betty and Steve at Cree Lake. They ran into the same challenges as us with a few windy days. That did not slow them down in the least. Betty and Steve had a guide for their 5 day stay and as you can see even with the wind challenges, they caught walleye, big pike, and arctic grayling! I am pretty sure they are going back next year. I think I hear the word "whitefish" next year and "lake trout!"
The neat thing about Cree Lake is that you can get all the way to Lake Athabasca from Cree Lake. You can canoe the entire Cree River to Wapata Lake then carry on to Black Lake and then Lake Athabasca! Our first nations trappers and fur traders used this route a lot! I see that Betty and Steve found a trapper's cabin to explore at the head waters of the Cree River!
There is no question that Cree Lake is an amazing area to fly fish and explore.
Lots of wild fires started by lightening!
Nice grayling Steve!
Shore Lunch is the best!
A bear scoured below this tree for the bacon grease from a shore lunch!
Cree River is a fabulous place to connect with arctic grayling!
