Dave, Tim, Nick and Stephen went on a Canoe Fishing trip and were wildly successful. The sole purpose of the trip was to relax and fish. Having this in mind, we didn't want to travel too far, and we did not want a lot of portaging.

Friday morning we paddled east, portaged to Evans Lake, portaged again to an unknown lake, did two beaver dam pull overs to the south end of Lone Tree Lake. At the south end, there is a lovely marsh with floating bogs and lilly pads everywhere else. There is a small channel to the south end of the lake, with a terrific campsite.
