Saturday, June 11, 2011 We took the canoe to the Boulder River again for some fishing. Once again Jay outfished me. I guess he just has the touch. All our fish were smallmouth. Didn't get any walleyes.

I didn't like the upstream portage from Boulder River back to Boulder Bay' The Boulder bay end is very rocky with no place to set a canoe or packs. We checked out the 115 rod portage that goes from the Boulder River to Agnes. It comes out right by the place we wanted to camp. It turned out to be a straight, level easy portage. I liked it.

After lunch I took a hike to the top of the hill behind camp to get a photo of Boulder Bay.
