Day trip to Copper

Map said one 100 rod portage, but we accidentally hopped back in the water in a marshy swampy creek. Followed it toward Copper. Beaver dam made sure there was no access. We weren't the 1st to take this route, so we followed a makeshift trail alongside the dam, and put in above. Fished it pretty hard - caught some northerns.

We decided to find the part of the portage we missed - and it was really just a water covered trail alongside the marshy swampy area. Connected with the known trail - and put back in Snipe to head home.
