Just talked to a buddy who was caught in camp by a straight-line wind storm on Glacier Friday, May 31--he said trees were snapping all around. They were out for 10 days--a leisurely trip up through Louisa to Glacier and back the same way. Lots of lake trout, smallmouth not nesting but found them on the reefs, some good largemouth fishing also. No walleyes (not a prime walleye route).

That storm added an extra day to our trip!

The next day was nothing but cold wind and rain on Pickerel. We opted to sit tight.

We were holed up in the Gunflint Tavern in Grand Marais when the storm came off Lake Superior. Took a couple pictures and had another beer. Friends in the Q had snapping trees, etc.

I put off a short solo trip in the BW (Ensign Lake, where I'm doing bird surveys) for a day to avoid that predicted storm May 31, but here in the Ely area it didn't amount to much. Instead, when I actually started on June 1, I was treated to an afternoon of windy drizzle with the temperature hanging in the low 40s. Did you get that cold wet weather the next day in Quetico too?

Being out in a storm like that or even lesser magnitude will put the humble in a man real quick. Bet the photo does not do it justice.
