Today was another beautiful day. Today Troy and Clay fished the main bay, Marc, Brian, Dominic and I went to check out the little lake on the south end of the bay. I am not sure if it is an unnamed lake or just part of Thursday Bay. We caught a few pike. Our original plan was to get all the way to Jackfish Lake, but with the low water levels we figured the little creek would be a major pain to get down. We did go all the way to the portage and walked to the other side and saw some moose tracks. We spent the rest of the day fishing and packing up gear for the paddle out tomorrow. 

I think Brian and Marc enjoyed their first trip and learned a few things, The both agreed they would portage in different shoes. Marc wore trail running shoes, but decided the extra support of a boot would be better. Brain wore vintage Jungle Boots, the soles fell off and he had to duct tape and para cord them together for the trip out.!

I was the last one out by the fire at the end of the night reflecting on our trip and just what a special place this is !
