Monday, August 18, 2008 We got onto Mudro Lake a bit later than we had planned. By about nine o’clock we were heading for the portage to Sandpit Lake. Piece of cake. Even though we were double portaging, we made good time. Taking our time through Tin Can Mike, and finally into Horse Lake. On our way in, we had spoken to two gentlemen who had just vacated the island campsite, so our plan was to see if that site was still available. On the way, we stopped briefly at the campsite just north of the mouth of the river. It is a large site on a beautiful peninsula, and we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave it. It was there that we set up camp for what was to be the next four nights. After setting up camp, hanging the food pack, and resting a bit, we headed out for an evening of fishing. We chose to paddle towards the north end of the lake, just throwing lures at the eastern shoreline as we went. We caught a few small mouth bass, northern pike, and even one walleye. Nothing to crow too loudly about, but who cared? We were in one of the most beautiful places imaginable. Campfire in the evening. Doesn't get much better than this.
