Day 4 of 7
Wednesday, July 24, 2019 This was a hard day. We paddled across Rifle lake took the portage into Lake Two, then the two into Lake one, then the 3 from Lake One to the Kawishiwi River. We ended at campsite 1145 (which is actually on the north shore, not the south as shown on our maps)on the Kawishiwi River. 

This was a nice site and our best fishing spot. My son found a submerged tree that was full of large rock bass, and all the boys happily caught numerous fish. This made the trip a success because every boy caught fish. At dusk I casted a popper and had northerns flying out of the water. Lots of action, but only one hookup on a 22-24" northern.
