Easy Acres

Bill Curry, jwcurry, 5 anonymous dead fish, Dorothy Curry

photograph probably by Neomia Blomme.

 

so far as i know, this was my "1st appearance in print".

Easy Acres was a campground between Parry Sound & Pointe Au Baril on Lake Shebeshekong (it's now the Shebeshekong Resort, rental cottages replacing the dirt-lots-with-fireplaces). my parents were avid campers & fishers & almost never failed to bring back strings of primarily pike & bass for the fire (i preferred perch, which were younger & sweeter).

in this instance (as my mom later related it), we'd come in from an obviously successful afternoon & Neomia, who ran Easy Acres with her husband Harry, was astonished: "...nobody ever catches so much here; can I take a picture for our brochure?".

this photograph appeared in at least 2 editions of their leaflet:
