Trip Introduction:
We had a wonderful time on Slim. The small mouth fishing was awesome. The loons put on quite a show for us. They swam by in pairs every night & sang us to sleep. We even heard a moose calling the first night out. The scenery & wildlife took our breath away every moment we were out there. We are already planning & waiting in anticipation for next years trip!
