Today started with us paddling our way up the river and into Upper Pauness. There was a faster group behind us that we knew was going to Shell lake so we took the 40 rod into lower Pauness and let them take the 12 rod and pass us. We then did the 216 rod into Shell, paddled around the lake and eventually settled on the single island campsite on the south side of the lake. After dinner we sat by the shore fishing and drinking well into the night. We caught three walleyes, one nice one, and saved them all for breakfast. We couldn't have asked for a nicer night the weather was great. We got some much needed rest after not sleeping for over 36 hours tonight.
