Two guys. One canoe. Five Billion Mosquitoes. Time well spent, nonetheless. Journey: Mudrow #23 > Sandpit > Jackfish Bay (Basswood Lake) and return.

Weather: Drizzly with low-lying clouds and warmish, but cleared up on Saturday for a hot sunny day. Fishing: Steady and typical the entire weekend. Smallmouth bass and small Northern Pike near shallow shorelines; Walleyes around islands in 10-15′ of water. Best fishing spot: (yea right)
