Wednesday started out pretty much like Tuesday....well, maybe a bit worse. But the good news is that the fishing was very enjoyable. About mid-afternoon, since the weather cleared nicely, we decided to head north into Koma. It was a great day to pack up and travel.

John and Lourens were paddling John's aluminum canoe...one that he got for his high school graduation. The ol girl has served him well. On one of the portages they decided to run the rapids and that canoe really served them well. Having Kevlar rentals, the rest of us portaged ours.

The campsite on Koma was excellent and although one fella had told me that Koma wasn't a very pretty lake...in my humble opinion it was an outstanding lake.
