Saturday, June 16, 2012

Saturday morning is nice and the wind has changed directions from the North to a hard SE wind. My experience is that a SE wind usually means oncoming rain. We cook steak for breakfast and plan to fish hard all day. At noon we hit our walleye spot again and pull out 3 more. We decide to keep none as we need to eat some of the stuff in the food pack. We fish another spot in the afternoon and watch a cow moose 30 yards away lazily feeding. While watching the cow my canoe partner hooks a nice walleye and I am treated to a great show. Watching him bring in this walleye with one eye and watching the moose with the other. The clouds are getting dark and we can tell a big rain is going to come down. We hustle for camp, tidy things up, grab a quick snack and hit the tents to watch the rain and read.
