Day 3 of 5
Tuesday, August 18, 2020 Up around 8:00 there was fog on the Lake. Sunny and warm this morning. Pancakes for breakfast with out our blueberries. We headed out for fishing about 10:45 went way up the other arm of Horseshoe.Dan caught a small Northern by camp and Walleye later. No other fish. Came back in around 2:00 got things put away it looked like rain. It rained for about 10 minutes. The Mosquitos moved in while we were sitting under the tarp. Was able to move back out to the Rock. No bugs. Started reading a book. Saw quite a few other groups fishing today , they said they had come over from other lakes. One guy was fly fishing last night and today. Didn’t see him catch any. Overcast now, not sure if the rain is done or what. It rained 3 or 4 different times thru supper. We had Chili Mac tonight. Saw many canoes fishing. We both kept our rain jackets on and long pants during the evening. The flies & mosquitos were bugging us more tonight, headed to the tent by 7:30. Started reading, we were lights out by 9:30. Dan was up at 11:30 said there were lots of stars, no moon. At 2:30 there was thunder and lighting off and on, Dan sat up and I said it is thundering, he laid back down. There were a few sprinkles off and on all night. Didn’t sleep much. Dan has said in the am he would determine if we were going to camp or fish for the day on Meed.
