Fat - Eugen - Gun - Little Beartrack

We broke camp faster than yesterday, mostly attributed to a quick breakfast of shake and pour pancakes. We fished Fat lake again on our way out with no luck again. Portaged to Eugene which was very easy. I finally got my first fish, a nice pike that we nicknamed "Lunch." We both caught many pike and I lost my most effective lure trying to shake off a 14 inch pike at the boat. I learned my lesson. (Catch a pike = re-tie your lure).

One other highlight of the day was that while we were fishing and had my pike on the stringer, it jumped out of the water and into the canoe! Scared the bejesus out of us.

We made our way up to Gun, which is a magnificent lake, but the best campsite was taken. So we ended up making our pike shore lunch at the available campsite and then went to little beartrack.

In hindsight, we should have just taken the 30 rod portage from Eugene, but decided to take the only campsite on the lake and base camp for a couple of days. Two nights in a row with our own lake is what it is all about. We made camp, made burritos and went out fishing for the night. Evan somehow broke the inflow tube off of my Katadyn water filter (luckily it still worked with a duct tape modification).

Awesome sunset + cigar + whiskey = Great night's sleep.
