Saturday June 17th was day two. We were all still pretty beat from the first day and someone suggested we stay on Bat lake for the day to try our hand at fishing for Lake Trout. No one hesitated to agree with this. We could move forward the following day. It seemed like we had all the time in the world to get to our final destination, Ogishkemuncie. "Ogish" was rumored to have some of the best Walleye fishing available in the BWCA. But in the meantime we would see about these Lakers. So we rigged our rods. Ellie and Makita put on the recommended three way swivel with a heavy sinker and some kind of wild crazy spoon. While Dave and I opt for a more conventional crank bait. Deep diving of course but with no added weight. Well we barely got off shore and Makita hooked a trout. Ellie caught one too and we went in and had a fish fry.
We went back out fishing in the afternoon and Dave caught two lakers (he's by now changed to the suggested three way swivel method) and Ellie caught another one. This time we fried two and tried "gutting and gilling" the third and baked it on the fire in foil with butter and onion inside. It was very good.
