June 4th, 2015, Bill, Ruth and Rich to Lake Four.

We were on the waters of Lake One at 8:30 am.  Rich steered from the stern and I was in the bow.  Ruth paddled from the middle.  We took a lunch break on Lake Two and then continued on through Lake Three and Four.  We took one of my favorite sites at the north end of Lake Four.  After camp was made we went to the rapids to fish. I was in the middle and it was uncomfortable to paddle from there. Exhausting even.  Ruth caught a big Bass that we cooked for supper.  It was fabulous.  That evening we went out again.  We all had a little luck and each caught one small throw back walleye.  We stayed in camp  fishing from shore for most of the next day.  Ruth continued to catch lots of bass.   I caught 2 and Rich caught none.  It was cool, overcast and breezy. The leeches worked real good.   We spent another day fishing from shore and Ruth was the most successful.  She caught 12 fish over the course of the weekend.  During dusk that evening we were looking across the lake and saw a moose walking in the water.  It made it's way up onto the shore and walked parallel to shore for a while before turning and disappearing into the dense forest.  It was a grand sight.  The second moose I've seen this spring.  The last day was a relaxing and beautiful paddle back to civilization.
