Layover on Little Saganaga

The day was full of R&R. The morning started overcast and throughout the day there were periods of showers followed by clearing and showers again. We took a day trip to Vierge Lake and took the 6 rod portage into the beautiful little out of the way lake. The portage was 6 rods, but straight up hill! Still a nice little excursion and fishing trip.


Later in the day, my youngest son – Andrew – decided a dip in the lake sounded fun. I’m sure the lake temps had to be in the lower 50 degree range somewhere. It hurt to wash my hair in it. I could even fathom a full body jump into it. But…


A quite sunset and an enjoyable evening by the fire was time well spent with my boys.
