Canoe trip Day 3


Left Sisseney Lake by 10:00am, we didn't have far to go and wanted to do some fishing at the falls at Tommy Lake. About 4km. down we had our first of two lining the canoes up the current, just ahead of this is a portage (165m.) around the falls coming out of Tommy Lake, quite impressive and I'm sure in the spring it's a sight. Daniel decided he wanted to go back down one of the rapids we just lined up with his life preserver. He bobbed and bounced for quite away, but by the look on his face he was having fun.

From here we paddled right down to the south end of Tommy Lake where there is a smaller falls. We backtracked back from the falls about half a km. to a campsite. Set up camp and went fishing for supper.

Just below the falls Brian casted out and got a good smallmouth on the first cast. In the next little while Sam got 2 more and I got 1, more than enough for a supper unfortunately Daniel is still skunked after 14 years.

While at the campsite a terrible faux pas was made by Brian, he shaved, talk about missing the office.
