Trip Introduction:
Was told by a friend that was a an easy trip, one permit
per day, and good fishing. We usually go through Nina
Moose and Agnus, to Boulder Bay but wanted something a
little less strenuous this year. Everything we were
looking for. Weather was OK, drizzly rain the first two
days, got nice and a great rest of the week. No bugs to
speak of and walleye and small mouth bass was excellent.
Will go back again for a relaxing trip.
