Sunset photo taken from the porch of our cabin. The dock area as seen from the balcony on the Lodge. Naturally our boat was on the far left side about as far as you could walk out.

Inside the cabin. Two rooms (bathroom in the back) was plenty when all of the meals are included with the trip. John holds up one of the Northern Pike we brought back.

This Northern Pike that Mona caught was just in the slot size that had to be returned to the water. The next photo she holds a walleye that didn’t get so lucky.

Mona was bartender here as she makes up a couple of Whisky Old Fashion Sours. Great touch before heading to the dining room for supper. One of our neighbors from the Milwaukee area took this photo of us on our front porch. (Why is my drink darker than hers?)

John pulls in a Walleye as the guide looks on  John caught and released a Musky. It’s the first Musky we caught in 5 trips to Canada. Little guy was only about 13 inches long though.

Our guide caught here cleaning fish for shore lunch. The rest of the meal is already being cooked as he takes time out to do this. He has his secret egg and breading mixture that he coats the fish with before it goes in the frying pan.

The fish being cooked to a golden brown and finally dinner is served. A nice slab of onion tops off the bread as we served this buffet of food. There are some things that I didn’t have room on my plate for.

Mona finds a chair along the shoreline to eat her dinner. This little squirrel even got his share of the left-overs as the guide was packing up all his cooking materials. This little guy is stranded on an Island probably from winter so I’ll bet he enjoys it when people stop to visit him. Everything was gone when Mona and I went back the next day to use the bathroom there.
