Day 5 of 8
Tuesday, June 02, 2020 Morning was beautiful with glass smooth waters. I threw my entire fishing tackle box at catching fish with no luck. I am baffled at my lack of catching fish using the TGO method with leeches. Early mornings and towards dark were my main fishing times. Depths of 3-20 feet were used in many places sometimes letting it drift for 50 yards with no action. I tried keeping it close to the bottom and many times I did get stuck on bottom. Maybe the moonlight and bug hatch affected their feeding pattern? A nice warm afternoon allowed me some personal cleanup time which was refreshing to say the least. Pretty much relaxed all afternoon. The hammock is a blessing vs the logs and rocks option! Planning my next day's portages was a pleasure sitting in this beautiful campsite. I did not see any canoes all day.
