Snowbank Loop
by Turkish
It was very cold last night, and the lake had a layer of steam in the morning. The cold air made sleeping in til 8am easy.
Today we moved camp from Ashigan to Ensign. On the portage there was a couple men and their sons. They reported catching lots of walleye on Ensign and this gave us something to look forward to.
This was Friday of Labor Day weekend, and Ensign was very busy. We had to paddle past many filled campsites before we found an available site. The site just happened to be next to the portage that would be getting us back to Snowbank in a couple of days. Very convenient.
Set up camp and relaxed for a couple hours while waiting for the wind to mellow.
Temps are in the low 70's today, and that feels nice after being in the 80's so far. The weather for the trip has been very consistent, glass lakes in the morning but windy from 11-4 or so, then glass again for a few hours. Cool enough at night to keep the flying insects at bay.
When the wind died down we got some fishing in. The walleye info was accurate, and the northerns and smallmouth were very active as well.
Fish for dinner again tonight, woohoo!
