Swamp Lake day trip

Day started off sunny and calm...but as would be the case this week, the wind came to play during the afternoon. We headed down the Swamp Lake portage last morning - mosquitoes were pretty nasty. Once on Swamp, the wind let us know were probably were not going to fish the eastern shoreline. Caught a couple of keeper Northern's again - dinner again. While cooking dinner, the western skies turned dark. I was just finishing up the last of the fish, we the rain came. Again, thunder and rain, but not too windy during the thunderstorm.
