Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Getting a late start on the day we headed to the north to fish and fish and fish and do 2 and only 2 catchings. Added together they may have measured 10" in length, but definitely not a foot. We didn't get too upset, catching is nice but doesn't determine a good trip. We saw no one on Thomas, no one passing through or camping. CG was the guide that day and I found the front seat needs to be wider because it cut circulation off to my legs and lactic acid was building up. My cheeks and legs were getting sore. We started back late in afternoon and fished a variety of areas, from deep to shallow and finally CG caught a slimey northern for supper. We also noticed since the start of the trip that few eagles were around, having only seen 5 total in 5 days. Seagulls were not abundant and loons were not as present as usual. There were very few mini-bears anywhere we camped. Another night of onion rings and the only fish meal, we were to have this trip. Onior rings were cooked first and fish followed. We decided to spend the next day fishing the south end of the lake. With the gear under the tarp and food hung we headed to the tent in a light rain.
