Wednesday, September 11, 2024 Fishing has been slower than we like but we give it the old college try and end up landing several smallies and a few small pike. Talking, we discuss whether to move on through Juno and come out through Brule on Friday. Both the boys have three kids heavily involved in sports and there are games on Friday and Saturday so we make the decision to return to Homer. We will take the open campsite there, fish one more day and then come out early. We end up setting up camp about noon and then spend the rest of the day fishing. The fishing is surprisingly good on Homer. We caught all the smallies and walleye that we could ask for. The boys hauled them in on crankbaits and I did most of my damage on dragging a ned rig. Awesome last day of fishing to say the least! We return to camp in the evening and eat a combination of chilimac and beef stroganoff dehydrated meals. Tonight the ruffed grouse that greeted us at the campsite on Monday entertain us throughout the night scrounging around on the edges of our camp.
