Many summer evenings of my childhood were spent here with my dad. We would head to the "Old 56 Bridge" for some good old fashion family fun. It was here I learned to fish and about a famous inventor from nearby. Len Thompson was a farmer and solider that grew up not far from here in Abernethy, Saskatchewan. In 1929 he developed what he felt was a better fishing spoon. To this day, Len Thompson lures are a common fixture in most tackle boxes.
I decided to celebrate the fishing bond created when families go fishing I'd place this cache. I return to this fishing spot every once and awhile with Vanessa and it brings back a lot of memories. You can expect to catch plenty of Northern Pike (Jack), Walleye, and Perch. I always felt the fishing was better in the evening. The best access to the riverbank is the East of the bridge on the South bank. There is an opening in the fence to get to the shore.
The cache is a large lock n lock style container. It is camo'd but should be a easy find for both kids and their parents. Like the nearby river, it is fully stocked. The cache is located around 100 meters away from the fishing spot itself. This is to protect it from the mighty Qu'Appelle River and also fishing muggles. For safety reasons please be careful with young cachers due to the river and bridge nearby.
