Summer Finally Came
We finally got summer about two days ago when the temperatures rose to the low 80's. People were still wearing long underwear and large parkas with hoods to spend a day out on the lake with the cold north wind that kept the air and water lower than normal. John was still stoking the fire in our outside wood furnace to keep us warm at night and smoke was rising from the chimneys in our cabins indicating that our guests too were trying to stay warm at night. But two days ago we donned our shorts and tee shirts and began to relax into some milder temperatures. Even the fish starting biting better. Their mouths must have been too cold to open and receive bait in the early weeks. Although one cabin boasted catches of at least eight Walleye over 30 inches long taken on Indian Lake or the connecting lakes. That's amazing. So here are a few of the catches from our first three weeks at camp.
