Sask. outdoor campers brave chilly prairie temps

Campers set up their sites around 11 a.m. on Saturday morning in Lumsden.

A group of chilly campers braved the winter elements this weekend.
Learn To Winter Camp with SaskOutdoors was held this weekend in Lumsden at the Living Skies Retreat and Conference Centre, about 30 kilometres northwest of Regina.
"It's not as bad as people are making it out to be," said Colin Frey, wilderness guide and owner of Renewed By Nature. "Winter camping can be quite fun and quite pleasant."

Campers bundled up and spent 24 hours eating and sleeping outdoors, at times in sub-zero temperatures.
Other scheduled activities included: Lessons on winter campcraft, cooking, site selection, trip planning and back country travel.

Staying warm

When temperatures dropped, Sask Outdoors member Taniya Heuchert took the group out on a hike to ensure body temperatures remained stable.
"It makes a real tremendous difference to do something so little as just going for a walk," said Heuchert.
Frey also built a hot tent, complete with a wood burning stove, for participants who needed the extra heat.

Further safety precautions

The group reminds outdoor campers to always have extra layers of clothing on-hand.
"You always want to be aware of what you're wearing and how to shed or add a layer very quickly," said Frey.
He also advised campers to be aware of how moist their clothing becomes. Wet garments can provoke a potentially dangerous chill.

Does live bait or chunked bait work better for catching yellowfin tuna? When targeting a trophy snook, is the action better during the incoming tide or outgoing tide?

White River

White River.  Article  1   This blue ribbon trout fishery is located in the heart of Arkansas in the Ozark Mountain Range. Many a keen fishermen will have tried their luck here. In addition to the efforts driven by the local conservation, the water from the White River runs clean and cold from its source in the Boston Mountains of the Ozarks.   The tail water effect provides stable cold water temperatures and excellent trout habitat.   It's not enough to just throw some bait on a hook and cast.   If you want to increase your odds of coming home with a cooler of fresh trout to clean, or at least have a great fishing day with some successful catch and release action, you need to employ some tried and true trout fishing strategy when fishing here.   In my many years of fishing, I'd be hard-pressed to find a more friendly, easy-going and informative group of people.   But the people of Arkansas and the outfitters of this river are frie...
