Woke up and decided to head for Oyster Lake to see if we could catch some fish for supper. We tried to pack light because it was only a day trip with a long portage. We figured we had all day so we didn’t push it. On the way to Oyster we saw a couple of deer and a moose way off in the distance. Once on Oyster we paddled around a bit to see what there was to see. We stopped at site 1782 for lunch. It looked like a real nice site. After lunch we headed back out to see if any fish were biting. Two of the boys were not into fishing but humoured me to drag a shad rap around for a while. With very little effort put into fishing is wasn’t a surprise nothing was caught. Weather was pretty nice. It wasn’t swimming weather but it was a great day. Agnes, Lake, Oyster Lake
