This morning we tried fishing for a walleye breakfast, but catching only one, we returned to camp and fried up the bacon and eggs we’d packed along… After cleanup, we decided to go back into Lynx and try our skills or luck there… We fished Little Shell and Lynx picking up a few smallies and checking out a nice vacant campsite near the portage to Heritage on Lynx ( nice fire grate area and “Kitchen”) but no walleyes… Back on Shell we caught a couple walleyes and perch for supper and also watched the skies while cooking that evening…..They were black and full of rain all along the western horizon but luckily split and went around us on either side.

[ Sidenote on Shell: We could recommend Shell as a good lake for “buglemouth bass” but hesitate to say we came to Northern MN to catch them. So, we’ll leave it at that. HA HA]
