Day 2 of 5
Friday, September 19, 2014 was cold and wet with hard wind from the south. Unwilling to pass on a shot at lake trout, we rigged up one of the canoes with our depth finder and rod holders and traipsed across land to the bay to the north. Exploring the depths of the bay and marking fish from 60' to 260' has me wondering what they used to measure these lakes considering that most maps only show the main hole at 140'. Dodging the wind as best we could, we happened to land three good lakers by the middle of the afternoon.
