Fly-In Fishing

Another early start to the day. Stocked up on snacks, and quaffed a few cups of coffee before heading to the air field. Lots of fog over the water, so we had to wait for the sun to come up and burn it off. It set us back about two hours, but the ride over was pretty killer.

When we got to the lodge, it was a mad scramble to unpack so we could get on the boat in time to catch some fish for the shore lunch. Forgot to bring my phone, but we snagged two or three keepers pretty quick which ensured that we didn't go hungry. Fried walleye and French fries hit the spot, and it was back on the boat to catch another half dozen walleye each before we switched to trying for Pike on the ride back. Dad caught two of those, and I snagged one to cap off the day.
