Day 8 of 14
Thursday, May 14th, 2015 
Across the portage and on to Rattle, paddled across Rattle to a 30rd portage to Little Sag, I stop for awhile and fished but no luck, but took a few pictures of the lake, then on to the 90rd portage to Virgin, one of the hardest portages with a step hill to start with, but at the top it was a great view of Little Sag and Virgin.
Across Virgin to a 30rd portage to West Fern, another 20rd portage to Powel,a 33rd portage to French, a 13rd portage to Fern, a 25rd portage to Gillis and a 90rd portage to Crooked lake, where I spent night 7.
I arrived at camp around 4:00, stayed at the NE campsite heading to Tuscarora, I 1st went and check the campsite to the south on the point, but it was a steep climb to the site(great view), so I decided to go back to the site further north, by this time it was misting on and off, set camp up, had a fire, a good supper, got things all packed back up and ready for one of the hardest days ahead (but still fun).
Up early, got everything packed and on to the 15rd portage to Gabi, another lake I would like to spend more time on, at the next 25rd portage I decided to fish for awhile at the end of the rapids coming out of Rattle to Gabi, in about 45 minutes I caught 5 lake trout and 1 northern, on my blue and silver daredevil.
