Wednesday, May 26, 2004 There are a few things that I remember about this day. I caught so many big keeper smallmouth that day. All day long. We traveled up McVicar Bay into the main lake, we checked out the pictograph and headed NW. There was a strong SE to NW wind that day, Justin and Mike were in a canoe together, I was solo in the other canoe. We stopped on a campsite for some lunch and spent an hour looking for the right sticks to make a sail. We found them and the sail was made. With two sticks and a tshirt inthe middle, I swear there was a wake behind them. I was fishing the opposite shoreline, and just watching them clip across the lake I almost died laughing. They cruised from almost the pictograph to Rose Island. We camped late that day past Kasie Island where Kawnipi turns South tword Heronshaw Lake. We camped pretty much on what was a portage around a small rapids. Now Ive spent a decent amount of time in the BWCA and Quetico, and this is the only place I was for sure that we were going to see a bear. Never happened though.
