Today we packed up slowly and prepared to go to Malberg. It was a short easy trip and we were there before lunchtime. After passing on a nice campsite on the far west end, we decided to camp on the center section fo the lake right next to the 16rod portage on the eastern shore. I was a little worried about camping next to the portage, but it was very lightly used and only a couple canoes passed through over the 2 days. We setup camp to stay for two days. The site has a nice flat rock shoreline and it goes down and wraps around the point. Plenty of shade here and great views of the western sky. We napped and did some fishing. I caught a couple more walleyes and Becky lost a dandy northern. He dove under the boat right as I reached for it. Oh well. We fished right up till sunset. I kept 2 walleyes and 2 large bluegills. They were fantastic.
