Day Six - Day trip to the Magic kingdom

One of our members once told me about a hidden bay on Basswood where he once caught all four common species of fish in a single day - a bay where all Quetico conditions exist in a small magical area. When the morning fogs lifted for a few minutes I found the secret opening, entered and paddled part of the bay.
He was right - amazing fishing - Bass and Northerns slammed my lure relentlessly. Streams, shallows, sunken islands, below surface structure and deep Trout waters - all in one area protected by towering cliffs, bluffs, Cedars, White Pines and drifting fog. This is textbook fishing.
Definitely a destination of choice for future trips - unfortunately I'm sworn to secrecy as to the actual coordinates guys!
I paddled back to my camp a happy guy.
I finished my novels, annoyed the Bass around my 5 Star island campsite and watched the sunset, sleeping again beneath the bright stars.
