Wednesday morning was peaceful and fog was rolling across Oyster lake. We ate some poptarts and oatmeal and set out to the monster 310 portage. Me and Garren were the first ones on the shore and I grabbed my pack and a gear pack, and he grabbed the canoe. I took the lead and started to day dream. All of the sudden i noticed a friggen river going through the portage about 80 rods in. We had to get all the gear and paddle across the 20 feet of river running across the portage as it was a little to deep and muddy for my liking. That night we camped on a very nice island camp site and I caught my first BWCAW walleye.
