Multi-Species fun and a Ton of Mosquitoes

Our trip to the Boundary Water Canoe Area Wilderness was a good one and the fishing was good. The mosquitoes were bad but manageable. We did not catch very many fish for keeping, mostly because the ones we caught were all too big to keep. It was great to have such a variety in our catch though, Walleye, Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Lake Trout and Whitefish. Looking forward to the next trip…
