Sunday, August 03, 2008


Today we sleep in and leasurly have late breakfast of bacon and fried eggs. As we sit in our fire ring area sipping coffee we start to see many groups coming by our camp to see the falls and bathe in the natural whirlpool. We begin to plan on breaking camp as I am sure others will want our site.


Before we can finish our coffee another group lands at our camp---what happens next is some of the rudest behavior I have ever encountered. If you want to read more please see--- We Meet the Moron

We eventually move on and troll our way up to the middle of Agnes. On the way I check the depth in several places and see the water is up to 250-300' in most of the area I cover---Obviously I catch nothing until the lake narrows and I finally find some structure and catch a few walleyes around 20".


Along the way we view 4 sets of pictographs and the petroglyphs.

we choose an Island camp just North east of the portage to the S-Chain. I cook some Tortelli and then make SMORES. ANother Beuatifull day.
