geotramper (one of the two friends and a fellow forum user) and I woke early, eager to get fishing and also to scout nearby island campsites (where we would be more comfortable letting the dogs off leash unsupervised). We had no bites but did find the occupants of one island gone and on Williamson Island – the prize! – they were packing up! We returned to camp and packed up, moved, set back up and enjoyed the rest of an overcast day with some fishing and relaxation. It was a bit windy but geotramper caught a nice pike trolling around the island. We baked it in tinfoil, delicious.
