Gun, Little Beartrack, Beartrack, Thumb, Finger, Ge-Be-On-E-Quet

Getting off to our long day was really hard with all the blueberries to eat and bass still swarming around our site. We could visually spot several in the 17” range and had to catch at least a couple more before we left. We were wishing that we had more days in our trip and could have taken a layover day just fishing at this site. After we finally got on the water, we took the 120 rod portage to Little Beartrack instead of taking the 85 rod and 35 rod backtracking through Eugene to Little Beartrack. This proved to be somewhat of a bad idea as the 120 rod portage from Gun to Little Beartrack is made up of 80% round boulders covered in moss. If it had been raining this portage could have been suicide. I took an unexpected swim at the end when the muck sucked my foot down at the end as I tried to place the canoe in the water. Luckily the camera on my belt is always kept in a Ziploc bag inside the camera holster.

Little Beartrack has some nice elevation rises on the sides of it, making it a neat lake. We plugged through the Beartrack lakes and into Thumb, passing a group of women on the portage to Thumb. One of the women looked to be very old and we were all impressed on how deep they had made it into the woods. We moved on to Finger and caught a couple Bass before the portage. We chowed a quick lunch after the portage into Pocket. Ran across some dude hangin out naked on pocket, lol. As we passed their campsite Judd landed a nice Pike, but we put it back with hopes of walleye on Gebe.

We had a small pull over on a beaver dam on the Gebe Creek, nothing like the Beartrap River we had done the previous year. Once we finally made it to Gebe, we were very tired. We looked at the first site on our right (northwest most site), which looked like a wonderful site. I had heard of good walleye fishing in the South East corner of the lake and really wanted to check out the site right by there. We made the trek across the lake and noticed that the site had little to offer as far as tent pads, so we made our way back to the first site.

We returned to this site and fell in love with the huge boulder in the middle of it, wonderful site with plenty of tent pads and open areas. A few bass were caught off the rock shore with leeches and bobbers; however, nothing like the luck we had on Gun. We were too sick of sitting in boats all day to go out walleye fishing so just fished the shore and went swimming. Once again, we had a beautiful sunset and moonrise. We tried to keep the vodka consumption to a minimum so that we would have some for at least one of the two remaining nights.
