Day 7 of 9
Sunday, August 23, 2015
We woke an hour before sunrise and waited (impatiently) for visibility to improve. After a few hours of staring at an empty beach we decided that Mr. Moose was not coming by today, and we headed out on the lake for some fishing. Trolling a big blue and silver Little Cleo nice and slow hooked me a laker (my first ever!) that was the perfect size for lunch.
I grew up catching and eating small brookies from streams and we used to cook them whole in the frying pan. I tried the same thing with the laker in tinfoil on the fire, but it didn’t work out so well. I guess I didn’t have the fire hot enough, and the lake trout’s girth took a long long time to cook through. It was more steaming than baking. By the time it was done, more wind and rain had moved in so we abandoned our plans for a day trip and spent much of the afternoon in the tent with a deck of cards.
We did make it out to explore the giant boulder in the middle of Frost Lake, though. What fun!
