Monday, May 19, 2008 We all sleep in late and for the last two days we have noticed a Forest Service plane flying around in our area. My experience with this is that something bad has happened out there to someone. I say a silent prayer that it works out well for the people involved. We all begin to finish putting camp together before Jeff and Kelly arrive. Around noon Brian and I decide to fish the rapids entering Koma We should be able to see Jeff and Kelly from here. Just like clockwork at 1:00pm Jeff and Kelly arrive. We give them the proper escort to camp and do the introductions. Jeff has the scoop regarding the plane, it appears they are looking for a missing soloist which explains why they seemed so interested in me yesterday while I paddled solo. We decide to paddle over to Malberg and fish below the rapids. Kelly hooks a large,large northern and gets it to the canoe but Jeff fails to get it into the net. Fish gets away and the heavy trash talking begins. I catch a fair smallie The fish are all ice cold to the touch but we are surprised at the number of smallies that we are catching but no walleye yet. We paddle back and have jambalaya and gumbo for dinner.
