Day 6 of 7
Friday, July 26, 2019 Last full day on the water and it started with a 210 rod portage. We were all exhausted and this portage was a killer for us. Our destination was campsite 1769 just inside the boundary. After the long portage, there were 2 shorter ones, and two that we just bypassed as the water was plenty deep to get through. Our destination was open and we settled in. The boys managed to catch a few small northern pike and my son managed a few tiny perch. One was rigged up on a pike rig under a bobber, but no luck all evening with it. Around dinner a rain squall moved in and left a nice rainbow over the lake. We found quite a few ripe blueberries and had a nice snack after dinner.
