Monday, September 21, 2009- 70 degrees and calm.

Heading out noonish we visited Hanson, Cherry, Lunar and Lake of the Clouds before lunch started calling. From LOTC to Rivalry lake if I remember correctly we found a very neat portage that pound for pound holds a proper punch. On Rivalry Lake we met a couple that had that defeated, somber, untalkative look as they just took the trail half way to Conic Lake by mistake. Up at Gijikiki Lake a group of 8 proudly occupied the island and were well into good spirits. From some distance they explained they had not taken the portage to the South and the fishing has been poor der for some time. Had Dinner cooking and invited us over for some grub. Due to time we had to decline, looped Ottertrack, Knife, Amoeber, Lopez, Cherry, sunset to Hanson. After many prayers and hailmarys, I couldn't find one more lake trout as Dogger can now happily and in detail describe out fishing me 2-1.
