Day 4 of 7
Thursday, June 12, 2008 Get up early and enjoy 2 pots of coffee prior to going out. My dad lands a nice 4lbs walleye 10 mins into fishing. Of course no other fish would bite. Frustrating. Brother in law catches a 5lbs eye later on. Catch more northern and some smallies. Cook dinner and decide to head out around the island we are camped on. slow fishing but the clouds were amazing. Until they turn from white to black. We head for camp at a quick pace, secure the site, and jump under the rain fly. The water boils with the big drops, which give way to pea sized hail. quite a site to see from under the rainfly.
