Day 3 of 5
Sunday, July 28, 2013 we rigged up to fish for lake trout in Rabbit. We had a good depth finder and a couple ideas for how to catch lakers. We worked just out in front of the rock wall along the deepest section and got lucky with our spoons. It wasn't long before we had caught three good fish.
It was still before lunch so we ate and packed for a short outing to try and fish Nawakwa, which is deep inside the Pitfall Lake PMA. We never made it through the tangle of downed trees a the portage into Nawakwa, but we did enjoy picking blueberries in the PMA area that had been burned by the Cavity Lake Fire.
