Day 4 of 9
Monday, September 05, 2016 Everyone was sleeping when the rain began. It rained heavier as daylight approached.
forecast was for no letup so it was decided to down some breakfast bars and head to our PMA. We were quickly into Hanson but had some issues finding the route to Link. This only adds to the entertainment value of these trips. Fishing Link and Gift saw both canoes catching and releasing smaller pike and smallies. Fish lake looked promising except for a campsite. Finally Deny and Brian spotted a previous site up on a huge route on the southern shore. Camp was set up with our tent right next to some fallen fruit.
I was told they were "MOOSEPLUMS". Goose & I found a lily pad area that was full of pike. Brian cooked up 4 of them for supper which were as delicious as rest of our meals. Watching the evening fire we noticed a whole lot of lightning action to the south.
