The boat launch on the southern shore of Leech Lake at Whipholt with the gale force wind blowing in. Conceivably a boat might be launched under these conditions but don’t try to put one on a trailer.
Rick Zieman’s famous cinammon rolls that he makes for morning consumption on our trip. They don’t last until noon, they are gone.
Here’s what you do when the wind howls and the waves froth – play “Hearts” at the cabin. Not really what we came up here for, but it’s better than bouncing fishlesly in a boat out on the lake.
Our Government Point eagles, one on the nest and one perched nearby. We debated which one was the female, but that can’t be settled with the data we have.
Rick fighting a 23” Northern Pike late in the evening on one of our favorite fishing spots, the “Gold Coast,” so named because of the size of the mansions lining the shore there.
That 23” Northern at boat side. The ripples in the water give it a unique look.
Rick’s 15” walleye, his second, and only the third walleye so far this year.

On the other hand, Pat Kelly caught this mediocre stick Saturday evening. You might recall that Ozols pulled in a stick substantially larger on Friday.
A very nice surprise late in the evening - Bruce Boettcher made these crepes with vanilla ice cream and strawberries. Amazing how nice a touch that was.
I ran short on pictures today, so decided to throw in this one from our 2001 Woman Lake trip. Here you see Pat and Rick coming in to harbor in Pat’s boat one evening, one of my favorite shots.
