It started with a stop in Matane where I hoped to find some Lumpfish before we set up camp for the night. The Lumpfish were nowhere to be found but I did see plenty of Sand Lances and even managed to scoop one up by hand! I later managed to get one on hook, adding the American Sand Lance to my list :)
After that bit of fishing we set up the car for the night and went for a quick walk on the beach before going to bed. We woke up to a gorgeous view over the St-Lawrence gulf, happy to have chosen another great free camping spot.
No fish of interest were caught on our first full day out on the peninsula, but we did get some great hiking done and I finally saw my first Moose! It had been a running gag that I had driven across Canada and still had never seen a Moose until now :p Other than the ungulate sighting, we saw a ton of waterfalls during our hiking and ended the day by visiting an aquarium. Unfortunately, that aquarium was the closest I'd come to seeing a Lumpfish.
Even looks good through my cracked windshield! |
