The Boys Are Back

Our boys got back from their canoe/fishing trip to the Boundary Waters/Quetico Park yesterday morning at about 5 A.M. They covered about 50 miles round trip in canoes and enjoyed good weather( it only rained one day) and good fellowship. In the 3 full days that they fished they caught 120 walleyes! They didn't count the smallmouth or northerns because they just wanted walleye. I have to admit to being a little bit jealous because the best tasting fish you can eat are fresh caught walleye fillets fried lakeside in the northwoods. They ate all they wanted and released the rest. They shared the bay with 2 bald eagles and 4 otters. It was fun listening to their trip stories . . . and because there were 3 Kellenbergers along, there were stories! On hearing the details of their trip,the old farmers wife even waxed a little nostolgic for a campsite on a pristene wilderness lake. Will we make it back to the Boundary Waters for another family trip???
