A canoetrip around my hometown with my friends Jan and Jan.
The water was a little thick in some places but we got where we wanted.

I am the guy in the Prism.

Nice photos! Thanks for shareing. Did you make that canoe cover yourself?

 

[erik markman]

No, it is from a company in Germany. It is attached with Velcro, I also have a piece that goes in the middle of the canoe but I rarely use it.

Thanks for sharing, Erik.
what's this device?

oops looks like the image link is not working.
I mean a square cage-like thing with spring, half ditched into water.

 

[Codger_64]

I'm not Erik, but it looks like a muskrat trap to me. Sweet potatoes for bait?

 

[fujita yuji]

Thanks, Codger_64.

 

[erik markman]

Yes, muskrat trap baited with carrots. Mostly they use carrots or apples as bait.

So those are the famous canals in Holland - beautiful! What kind of fish live in those canals? What is the town or region?

 

[erik markman]

We have pike, perch, eel, carp and brim and lots of smaller fish. The area is called "Nieuwkoopse Plassen".
