Another beautiful day. The morning theme was northern pike. We fished the whole day again, and were able to find walleye, bass, pike, and sunfish. Nothing big, but at least some action! Watching all the loons and swans was still pretty neat as well. In the afternoon, we were peacefully fishing when a plane (Beaver) flew very low over the lake. It circled the lake a couple times and then landed! I tried to paddle over where it was, but it took off shortly after. We still don't know why they landed (it was a forest service plane), so we spent hours talking about all the possibilities.... We hung out in the evening on the site, had fish for dinner, and watch the beautiful sunset. Another wonderful day.
