Day 4 of 7
Monday, August 24, 2020 We woke up early again to do some sunrise fishing by the rock wall west of camp from the canoe. Still no luck. Back to camp for coffee and breakfast. The weather has changed to great. Sunny blue skies with a slight breeze The plan today is a day trip to Eddy Lake for trout. We also want to check out the campsites along the way. Soon after we left camp, we spotted two bald eagles perched on a dead tree. These must be the birds we see flying above of camp. We go on around the narrows to the main body of SAK. A five star site was empty so we landed there for lunch. Camp #142It was a really nice site with a great beach, views and many tent sites. Good for large groups. The only drawback was it had been heavily used and the latrine was completely full. I even might have been above ground level. I didn’t stay long enough to get a survey. We had a nice lunch at the fire grate area with a great view. Then back in the canoes to Eddy Falls and the portage up to Eddy Lake. We didn’t have much time and got no bites. Probably because it was mid afternoon and the fishing was tough already. We wrapped it up and portaged back down to Knife. Stopped to check out the falls but the water levels were low and it was just okay. Back on Knife, a head wind had come up and there were some small waves happening. We did a Hawaii 5-0 power stroke and covered the six miles back to camp in an hour and a half. No fish today so we have dinner from the excellent freeze dried from the outfitter. I must say that these meals are wayyyyy better than the backpacking meals I remember. We get the fire ready and I go to the shore to get some pictures of the sunset. Hey Guys. It looks like there are fish feeding close to the surface out there!. Mad dash for the fishing poles and get the lines in the water. No fish caught but I got some great pictures 9.
