On this day we went out fishing before 7am. Right away Makita and Ellie each caught a trout. We all came in and by 8am Ellie and Makita were celebrating with a Mountain Dew that Ellie had sneaked in. Makita was very excited to partake in this treat. Ellie kept only enough to mix herself a Whiskey Dew. Thus our sixth day was started.... Ellie seemed a little loopie from this breakfast.
Dave cleaned the trout and Ellie made stuffing out of cornbread bannock, dehydrated vegetable soup mix, dehydrated red peppers and spices. It turned out really good...we gobbled down the first fish but quite frankly I can't eat anymore trout. I've had my fill. We tried to choke down the second fish and it was hard.
We had some storms that threatened us but they ended up going around us. These thunderstorms can be frightening because there's nothing you can do to protect yourself from the lightning or wind. We happened to be in the blow down area of July 1999, so a lot of the trees are already down. But by looking around you get a sudden reminder of what devastation can happen from the wind.
Day seven we will move back to Bat lake on our way out and then maybe day eight will be on Brant lake.
