Woke to a light rain around 7:00. A casual morning of coffee and breakfast and then packed up lunch and headed out to explore and fish. It was pretty windy that day so we stuck close to the islands and picked up one nice trout trolling and two more from camp later in the day. We had several more follows fishing from camp.

We processed the two Lake trout. One was cubed up and put into Cache Lake Foods Fish Chowder and the other was cooked in tin foil over the fire with butter, fresh herbs and lemon slices. I am personally not a huge fan of Lake Trout but the other guys really enjoyed the fire roasted Trout. The fish in the chowder was very good.

Late night around the fire and a forecast for strong winds led to the decision to stay another night before heading onto Gillis for our last two nights.

Breakfast - Cache Lake Tex Mex Scramble with tortillas

Dinner - Cache Lake Fish Chowder with Lake Trout, Fire Roasted Lake Trout
