A canoe loaded to the gunwales paddled across Nina Moose Lake towards our campsite. The faces of our friends Goose, Jason and Layne became distinguishable and soon we were waving and smiling as they drew closer. They paddled in for an overnight– a brief respite from their busy lives. We lounged on a beach taking turns hooking smallmouth bass and walleye lurking in the weeds a few feet off the beach.
Now the steaks are marinating, a growler of beer is cooling in the lake and Layne is shucking fresh sweet corn. Good food, old friends and a pristine Wilderness lake full of fish– it doesn’t get any better.
