Monday - August 25

Bob: Got up early and went fishing. Tried North of the camp, but only got a couple of bites. Landed one 11 inch perch. When I filleted the fish it looked like it had worms and wasn't any good. Will check with Karl in the morning about this. Turned around and went all the way to Mt. Chutes. Fished several places and one place we're going back to this evening. Put a picture of the chutes below.
Passed the patience test on putting the car jack away. Went back in place without much hassle.

Mountain Chutes

The other day Bonnie talked about the road being gone and water on both sides of us. She didn't want to drive through the washout. Here is a picture of the 'missing road'.

Bob: Went fishing about 5:00 tonight for a change. Went to the mouth of Mountain Lake. Nice hole of water and fish on the fish finder, but nothing biting except 1 clam and 1 crayfish. Did go up a stream that enters the river right after the mouth of Mountain Lake. Beavers have built a tremendous dam. Look carefully at the picture below and you can see the dam and water above it. Could not get up to it because of brush in the creek.

Came back to our favorite spot just above camp. Caught one walleye that was too small to keep. Caught a rock bass that is not worth anything. We are supposed to kill them because they are bad for the environment. Bonnie had a couple of bites and I had a fish on twice, but I think both times it was the rock bass that I finally caught.
