Fathers Day!  The morning looks great. Camp is wet and soggy but for the most part today looks like it might be another good day. The wind is hard out of the north and has been all night. The plan was to book it down to Long Island and fish for lakers but the wind is blowing hard and Long Island might be really whipping up the waves, so we decide to explore our area further. We hit the spot again and pull out a nice norther of about 33 inches and 2 more walleye. We try to bushwhack to Dawkins lake via Dawkins creek and are finally pushed back only a few hundred yards from making it in there. There is some fire damage in this area but there is already good head high underbrush and I suspect this might be a great area for a moose hunter to try. Dawkins lake will have to wait another day. There is a small waterfall on the east side of Cross Bay lake that we saw coming in and we decide to bushwhack up to it and explore the lake that is producing this fall. For a small lake it is surprisingly deep and fishy.

We begin to notice more and more Mayflies are hatching. We see another moose and catch a few more fish before the clouds roll in and another big dumping of rain hits around 8:00pm. It rains pretty steady for 5 hours and both of our tents take on a little water in the corners but nothing unbearable.
