Entry Date: 05/31/2013
Entry & Exit Point: Quetico
Number of Days: 7
Group Size: 1
Part 3 of 5
Part 3: Already? Sunday June 2: We paddled out late this day around 10:30 AM after a leisurely breakfast and made the Maria portage (not too muddy) and then the Jessie portage ( a longer slog with a bloated dead beaver at the take-out). Sunny, light breeze. After reaching Jessie, the group decided that the main island campsites were worth a stop-over, drying out, and fishing a bit. Excellent fishing luck for most -- 4 pike, 2 walleye (a third walleye caught later by one of our group was measured at 30inches before release :) Not a bad day!
