Northern Light Lake

A cow moose greeted us right off the landing as we paddled down the Brule River on our way to Northern Light Lake.  Turns out that this calf had two calves that we spotted on our way back.  Apart from that we spotted another young cow just downstream. The water was high and the bugs were thick as a large low pressure mass loomed above.  Osprey and Bald Eagles quarreled over rights to the prominant pines.  Jigs and leeches in 5-10 feet of water produced four perch, three Northern (one decent) and only one "fingerling" walleye.  There were no filets on the grill at the end of the day but it was a great paddle nonetheless.
