I let Beth sleep in a bit and fished some more. Threw a handful of bass back, again... Then we had breakfast and packed up. We hit the water about 9:00. We had another pretty uneventful day, except for the flies, and one brief thundershower than mostly passed south of us. We ran into an Outward Bound group on the way into Kivaniva, heavily loaded, with 12 days still to go. This was a group of all young women, I would guess late teens - early 20's. They chatted with us a bit and were very apologetic for blocking up the landing a bit. 

It was HOT again. Oh well... Also, I have never portaged through as much underbrush as we did this trip. It felt almost like bushwhacking at times. We made good time into Little Sag, with a lunch stop on Makwa. We took the point site on the south side, just as the lake narrows on the East end.

IT was a bit breezy for me to go trout hunting. I took one little spin to cast some shallows for pike, but with no luck. We settled in high on the rocks and read / watched the lake until dinner. Then we sat again and watched the sunset before the skeeters came out.
