Memory Of Innumerable Walleye
Personal memory by Dennis Greive
1973 • Parry Sound, Onterio
We were fishing from our boat in an inlet north of Bying Inlet, off the Georgian Bay, Canada. We met another fisherman,who invited us to lunch in his cabin. He told us his father told him that when he built the cabin he used to shine a light in the water and see the reflections of thousands of walleye eyes continuously streaming by. Walleye were not abundant when we were there. We fished for northern pike.
