Friday, August 3, 2007 + I got up early to check on the wind conditions and thankfully they were MUCH improved. We broke camp and made our way over to Eddy Falls to fish where the Eddy ‘rapids’ empty into the South Arm. No luck fishing but I did walk upstream to see the falls and got some great pictures.

After fishing, we continued back west on the South Arm and about half way the winds started to pick up a bit and since we were heading into them, we decided to occupy the last campsite before reaching Thunder Point, on the north shore of the South Arm. Not much of a campsite, more like a rocky knob…but we managed. We set up camp, grabbed our poles and set off back to the east to fish some deep drop offs along a sheer rock wall. Good choice! Smallies and large mouth would be the fare for this Friday’s meal.

We were both tired and both turned in early tonight…around 9:30pm…dozing off to the raucous and continuous chorus from the loons.
