Quetico Wilderness, Canada – Day 2

WEATHER: PC, Low 50s, wind, some rain
WATER CONDITIONS: Clear, about 50 degrees
LOCATIONS FISHED: Basswood Lake
FLIES USED: #6 Gray/White Clouser
ROD USED: 9’ 6 wt Winston
HATCHES: Mayflies
OTHER: I paddled Ed in the AM; he caught a dozen or more on a gray/white clouser. Harry paddled me in the PM and I caught about 15 on a gray/white clouser, including 3 large fish, but none over 5 pounds. Harry had one “blow up” on a popper, but no catches. John and Joe each caught “board” fish, i.e. over 5 pounds.
We saw a first on this trip, Mary cooking over Harry's fire. Isn't this a NO NO?

The Northwoods has unexplainable beauty, and just grabs you in the gut. You can't help but feel awed when enjoying the many lakes and islands.
