Our 2nd day was as beautiful as the first. We awoke to a sunrise with a wet camp. Got up and going, made a campfire so that we could stick a few brats over the fire for breakfast. Amazing how scrumptious they were being cooked to a perfectly seared-brown tasty serving. Got cleaned up, enjoyed the campfire, and talked about our plan for this day. We decided to explore and fish Echo Lake. We geared up for a day-trip and headed out. It is a very short paddle from 938 to the portage to Echo. A very short time later we finished the simple portage and had our fishing rods loaded as we pushed off into Echo. We spent the next 5-6 hours trolling and casting at good looking spots. George found plenty of fish on his fish locator as well as some great structure. We caught smalllies and walleye and kept 4 nice eaters for dinner again. We were sharing the lake with only a couple canoes, and the day was rich with seclusion, good fishing, and great weather. Once again, not much if at all any wind to deal with. We felt really good carrying those 2 bass and 2 walleye across the short portage and got back to camp quickly. Cleaned fish, cranked up the stove, filtered some water, and cooked our fillets as well as boiled water for some string beans. Once again we were stuffed to the gills (pardon the pun). We moved our chairs down to the shore and watch a great sunset again. To our delight the skeeters had not been menacing yet, and I am thinking August is a pretty good time to trip. Hit the tent early and listened to the night settle in with a few loons calling.
