Day 5 of 9
Friday, August 21, 2015
Finally, a day of sunshine! We spent the whole day letting clothes, gear, tents, etc. dry out in the sun.
In the morning I went out around 6am for some lakers, but again no luck. Later I was casting from shore and hooked a nice eating-sized northern on a blue and silver Kastmaster. I had only ever cleaned one northern before, but I think I’m getting the hang of the Y-bones and this fish produced two very nice fillets. We cooked them in foil on the fire with a little bit of oil and a lot of taco seasoning. Enjoyed the fish with rice, beans, corn tortillas, and hot sauce. We had a wonderful night around the fire that evening.
