It was a gray day and we had a slow morning and a big breakfast – eggs, bacon, hash browns. WE hung around camp most of the morning and tried fishing the drop offs at a nearby island campsite in the afternoon. As the day wore on, geotramper and I headed out to fish for walleye, the sun still hiding behind a wall of clouds.

On our way to the inlet at the portage to Kawishiwi, he caught a nice 18 incher while trolling a firetiger shad rap. Once we were set up on the moving water, we had a good time. After a few bass, and a large pike who broke off my deep tail dancer I was eventually rewarded for switching to a simple hook and leech with another eater-sized walleye. We cleaned them at a rock on the way back to camp and ate them with some delicious mac and cheese.
