Headed fishing into Paddle Lake. Navigated the rock stream on the west end of Canoe - as the water level was extremely low. Had to hop out 2x - but it was well worth it. Each of us were successful with northern and bass. None were big enough to keep. Headed back to camp for some drinks - still in the 80's and quite sunny. We were wondering if a burning ban was imminent due to the very dry conditions....? Gathered some firewood and planned the afternoon fishing trip. Planned a day trip to Johnson Falls in the morning.
