We decided we would find the fish on Emerald Lake. All day no luck. We did a fair amount of relaxing and swimming, the weather was great and the bugs were gone. but NO FISH! This campsite is amazing for tent sites, cooking, fires, solitude, swimming and cliff jumping right from the site, but not for fishing. Two of our group portaged to Hustler and caught a few bluegills, so we decided to make a day of it saturday. All in all a great day except for the lack of fish.
