Day 2 of 7
Thursday, June 07, 2007 Today we got up with the sun for a little lake trout fishing. It was cloudy and the day had intermittent sprinkles. We did one drift in front of the opening to the big bay and landed a single laker. He was taken on an orange and silver little Cleo jigged under the boat.

Since we had our lunch fish and the wind was kicking up on the main lake we went to do some pike fishing. I quickly proceeded to catch a pike around 38 inches on a fire tiger chatter frog. We also caught a few smaller ones as well.

After we went back to camp and cooked up our laker lunch- panfried in my moms secret recipe- it started to rain. We threw out some smelt from camp with no luck. At around dusk my friend gut hooked a smallmouth and we ate him for dinner with pasta on the side. Lake trout is much better in my opinion.
