We decide to make the trek to Oyster for a shot at lake trout. The day gets interesting when we get to the Oyster River as I go waist deep in muck. Oh well, try to stay on the logs. In Oyster we can't muster up one of those challenging trout and have to go ashore for shelter behind some big pines as lightning and thunder roll in. When we decide to leave the sun starts coming out and it warms up. Seems as though our timing for fishing trout is opposite of what the weather is thinking. We do muster a couple of nice smallies on the Dr. Spoons we're throwing but over all a disappointing fishing day. On the way back to Agnes We hang and collect fire wood along the western beach of Agnes. Water is still a little cool but better than the muck of the Oyster River.....
