It was very windy today. We packed up camp and headed to Agnes for some walleye fishing. On Agnes we dealt with some big white caps.We had to grab a camp that I liked with the exception of one problem. There was a strong fishy odor in the camp. I walked down the trail to the latrine, and literaly less than 60 feet away from both the campsite and the latrine were over a dozen big rotting smallmouth carcases right in the middle of the trail. I cleaned these up only to come across another 6 or so later the trail, this time even closer to the tents. What a bunch of lazy slobs these last campers were. After making camp we fished around camp and caught some small fish. Once dusk came around we ventured out and my friend caught a very nice walleye which we caught and released. We also caught 3 other small eyes. I finished my BWCA grand slam today- walleye, trout, pike and smallie- I also caught a few bonus fish including the crappies, a perch and rock bass. We thought that this lake might not be a bust after all. Boy was I wrong. I think we ate Mac and Cheese this night.
