Day 3 of 6
Tuesday, June 03, 2008 Today there was only one thing on our mind and that was more fishing. We set out on the same shoreline as the previous day and made one pass with no luck, on our second pass marcs rod doubled over again! after a good fight i looked into the water and saw bright silver, another laker and another fish meal! A short whiile later he hooked another fish, this time it was a real nice walleye! we opted for the lake trout and the walleye was set free to swim another day. just when we were going to make another pass the wind came out of nowhere, finally some relief from the black flies but unfortunately a pause in fishing since we didnt feel like paddling into the stiff wind. We feasted on mrs. grass soup lake trout and mandarin oranges when we got back to camp. We explored the island some more today and were able to find the grouse that had been beating its wings. We relaxed the rest of the day and enjoyed an awsome sunset later that night.
