Today we headed for SAK, making the 4 portages and arriving around noon of a nicely overcast day. We caught a northern and a smallie or two on the way at Jenny Lake, and thought we might fish there on the way back if time permitted. We fished around Eddy Falls a bit, catching Some nice sized smallies on Husky Jerks and on jigs with leeches, including the biggest SM of the trip: a fat female bursting with eggs. Water was around 58 degrees here. We ventured out to the bay leading to Toe Lake, and went into Toe for a try at some smallies. Toe was warmer, a hair over 60 degrees, and we could not find a smallie, but did get into several largemouth, along with a northern here and there.

We moved back out into SAK and fished reefs, points, and back in the bays. We managed some more smallies on the Husky Jerks, and my son caught the biggest walleye of the trip off of a point using a 3.5 inch Tube Bait (Pumpkin+Red/Green flakes) and 1/4 oz Tube Jig.

Although it would have been a great eating fish, he wanted to release it for another day, and so he did. This became his favorite lure for the rest of the trip. Back in the bays, we marked lots of fish typically on or near the bottom, but not very active.

After a couple more fish at Eddy Falls, we made our way back toward camp for dinner, where we had lake trout for dinner (and no walleye). On the way back through Eddy Lake, we noted the sound of rapids at the portage into Kekekabic Ponds.
