Monday, June 21, 2010 Partly sunny, light rain from 3 – 8pm Another great nightsleep, great sunny calm morning. Kraig and I went out fishing before breakfast near the portage from Gull to Thunder. A shallow rocky bay. I caught a skinny 10” smallmouth. I hooked a small northern near some lilly pads in 6-8 feet of water, he took care of the release part himself next to the boat. Breakfast was powdered eggs and bacon bits wrapped in tortilla. Not terrible, the eggs are a weird consistency. After breakfast and quiet time we decide to make a day trip to Thunder. The trip over is quiet, short portage to Mudhole and then Thunder. The second has a little rise and fall to it and very muddy. Mudhole is a small round bog pond, not very deep, didn’t fish much. Thunder was a bigger lake, nice structure of fallen trees and branches all around. Boulders, logs in the water, islands, a great campsite on the left point that would make a great basecamp. I didn’t catch anything there. Kraig caught his first, a small northern. We paddle around, hear a few rolls of thunder and see darker clouds rolling in. We start to head back to camp, rain greets us before we leave Thunder lake. We race back to camp and take shelter under the tarp we rigged that morning. We get a brief half hour from the rain and take advantage to make dinner of spaghetti and garlic bread. By the time dinner is done cooking it starts a light rain again and we eat under the tarp. I may grow to like spaghetti again, after a long day paddling it tastes really good. We sit around and trade stories for a while and then retire to our tent. Kraig, Shane, and I play a game of Hearts and then call it a night. Fish count: 5 smallmouth, 1 northern
