it's getting close to noon now instead of getting rougher like it normally does during the day it's actually getting calmer it's Ralph's ice Lake and it's wide open to the west should be really rough by now but anyway there's a system moving in tonight and I thought it was going to be worse weather and rougher waves as the transition came in but now it's still good look at the Poland in the water I can't believe how much is there and it's probably affecting the fishing too

this is white shirt lake from the Ralph Bice potage and there's nobody on the lake today except for me it's Tuesday that Bay the 24th and this is where I'm staying for the night and here it's good fishing and it's beautiful Lake so I just find it it's my first time ever being on this Lake but on the map this looked like one of the better camp sites yeah nice point on the north side of the lake and just checking it out for the first time that looks like a pretty good one just traveling east right here nice fire pit pretty cool spot to put a tent or lie down with a bivy sack nice exposed rock looking south it's always nice and there's a bit of wind up coming from the West from that direction so I like help with the bugs a little bit nice little Sandy's bottom there from one of the swimmin which is probably not and that Island right there is another campsite which was considering as a another option as well I think that would be almost as good anyway to say that's looking east so the sunrise if there's a sunrise tomorrow morning it'll be nice view down the lake and looks like a nice lots of open and open ground here so I can find a place to put the tent for sure and there's a better spot to bring the canoe up Sol think I'll bring the canoe around and pull it up here where it's protected from the wind and the spawning suckers in there and laganja's and seagulls were and I just laughs lice are finally starting to die down a little bit so I can take that jacket off although the cameras covered in them right now staying away from the fire though actually they're everywhere usually they get better in the evenings watan not sure if the mosquitoes are going to start coming up so usually they would have started by now but I'm assuming to get covered some mosquitoes soon and the black flies will go down as soon as it gets cool that's the problem end of May which is what it is May 24th to the

I having a really simple meal tonight salads quinoa salad and wheat berry salad of some kind of olive oil and vegetables and stuff in there so good stuff really healthy it's enough calories in there actually is probably seven or eight hundred calories in these two packs so more than enough calories and I don't have to cook anything I was thinking I was doing some kind of rehydrated meal so I kveld water so I'm having some hot chocolate and then the rest of the water I'll just use for drinking water which is good saves saves filtering anyway we're going to put these in the cup and just eat them together
