Day 1 of 7
Sunday, June 23, 2013 Left Central WI at 2:00 am. Drove to Ely bought Fishing licenses and picked up permits. Went in a Fall Lake, we had a canoe seat break on the drive up so we fixed that before going into the water.(Made portaging this canoe very heavy the rest of the trip, fixed by screwing a big piece of wood under the seat) We had two great portages with a nice trail. We arrived at our fist camp (located on northern Pipestone lake)later named Tippy Canoe, made grilled cheese sandwiches with sausage and 5 lbs of potatoes. Three went fishing said they had great success but lost the stringer of fish. Must be true because they came back with four fish and no stringer. I helped one guy fish for the first time off of shore. I and another went to take a canoe to go fishing and tipped, I lost my bait box full of bait next to shore. We cooked up the fresh fish and enjoyed our first night. Except for me loosing my bait.
