Thursday, September 10, 2009 We both slept in this morning and woke up knowing our long yesterday had worked muscles that we forgot. We skipped breakfast this morning and decided to head down to the falls to try the fishing on the way down and back and take more pictures. The depth finder was pulled out and quickly attached to the canoe and we were on our way. We started paddling into the beautiful sunrise across the bay.

We both setup for trolling on the way down and hoped to pickup some fish on the way. We were lucky to catch a couple little northerns or slime dogs on the way. Most of the campsites were empty as we headed south. We meet three gentlemen from Ohio who were in solo canoes. They were headed to the bays later in the day. Down to the falls and the obligatory picture of the falls, portage and big rocks.

CG on the American side of the falls.

North we headed, trolling along not really expecting to catch many fish on the way. We were enjoying the blue skies and light breeze again. We talked about many things and enjoy each other company. Arriving back to camp we have lunch of cheese, jerky and trail mix. We decide to try the narrows near camp and switch baits and presentation. The next hours produce a few fish and we could have a fish dinner if wanted. A few small northerns and bass are caught as we worked the shoreline and jigged around islands to the north. When we decided to head back, I tied on a blue/silver rattle trap. I caught a rock, sauger, bass and northern within a half hour.

We headed back to the camp for a supper of crispy cheese casadeas, jerky and trail mix. It was a quiet evening and we enjoyed the first fire of the trip. Calling it another early night, we wonder what tomorrow would bring for weather. Tomorrow we were headed to the area of Thursday Bay. Knowing there were at least two groups camping on Thursday we knew that taking a camping site before then maybe necessary.
