Bonsoir,
1) The characters are Jan Hayward and his grand-father.
2) The scene takes place in Murdock Lake Ontario.
3) There's one part where Jan Hayward talks about his childhood "I loved fishing when I was a little boy" and there's an other part where he is older and his grand-father passed away "I knew it wouldn't be the same without grandpa who passed away 50 years ago."
4) He would like to say to his grand-father what an important part of his life those fishing trips were.
5) I think the memory of these fishing trips with his grand-father makes the narrator sad, nostalgic and happy...
