We woke to sun and a beautiful mist coming off the lake. It was a captivating sight and we made sure to get some photos. We had a great breakfast of fresh eggs, hash browns, bacon and coffee. It was apparent it was going to be another warm day, so we dressed accordingly and planned our day, which was more exploring and fishing. Once again, the Northerns were cooperative and then we discovered a cove where the smallies were aplenty. This time, we were able to return all fish. It was a great holdover day, with good fishing and swimming, and fantastic weather. After dinner, we once again had great fireside conversation, along with good drinks and a beautiful full moon. We decided to break camp in the morning and move on to the Kawishiwi River, Little Gabbro and Gabbro Lake.
