Day 3 of 3
Sunday, August 05, 2018 We woke to less wind, less rain...and less fish! We had stashed our catch in a rock livewell and all seven were gone in the morning. Isla had two nice crappie in there, so I thought she might take it hard, but she just smiled and said “it was fun catching them!” Best line of the trip! We ate a slow breakfast as most of our stuff was already packed the night before. After our oatmeal and muffins we loaded the canoe, took a last long look around the lake and started paddling back to the EP. It was fun watching Isla remember some of the landmarks along the route back down the Snake River! I can’t wait to take her on more trips in the future! My apologies for the lack of pictures, how about a video instead?!
