Lyle, Hope, April, and Daniel on hegman lakes, 7-15-2016

Daniel and I carried the two canoes across a 120 rod portage down to hegman lake.  After some brief instruction we headed for parts north.   After a short paddle we crossed another but shorter five rod portage.   There,

we prepared our fishing tackle for the next hunt for the elusive Small mouth bass.   We went to my favorite spot and Daniel caught a nice large bass in the first five minutes. We fished there and worked our way north catching a couple more smaller ones.   Meanwhile the girls and Lyle toured around near us.   The next thing on our agenda was to view the pictographs.  They were splendid in the afternoon light.  Our next stop was the floating bog.  The girls and Daniel all bounced on the floating masses of soil and plants.  We also looked at the dozens of Pitcher Plants.  We talked about what a bog was and how it floated.  We also discussed how the Pitcher Plants catch bugs and eat them.  Next it was to the top of the overlook.  It was a tough climb.  While on top we took photos, ate lunch, rested, ate blue berries and talked.   It was a glorious day.  We fished more on the way back and stopped to  clean the fish.   I enjoyed their company greatly.
