Olha! Well James, that is close to here as you know. We have world class flyfishing for trout up here in several stocked lakes. Rainbow, brown and tiger trout. Patterson Lake is close to Olha, the parking lot is full of American campers every year. The lake, like others around is aerated throught out the winter to oxygenate the water.
Our American cousins who come up to fish beg us to keep quiet. Your best kept secret, they say, don't tell too many Americans about this heavenly spot or they'll crowd us out!
JRB, that's Les Nelson from Minitonas near Swan River, I have heard of Les, a good operator!
I shot one black bear 30 years ago and would never shoot another unless it was bothering the livestock. We have them here, there is a cow moose running around with two youngsters too. We had lots of elk but they contributed to the spread of disease to cattle so our herd was culled, so we seldom see them, but my neighbours have them.
It'a a nice place to live. The winters are too long, but a week or two in Cuba in February makes it worthwhile.
Mike
