July 25, 2008 on Leech Lake

Today the winds were very strong at 20+ mph out of the west, blowing the waves straight at our dock. The temperature was 76 degrees and the water temp was 73.8 degrees.

As the day wore on, the wind diminished, and by 8:00 p.m. had slowed to 5-10 mph, still out of the west. I took Melissa and Ashley trolling this evening, and Joe came along for the ride but decided not to fish.

Melissa and Ashley were each using Minnow Raps, in fact, they were using the same rod/reel/lure set ups that Joe and I typically use. We boated one decent perch and Melissa reeled in a very nice 17 1/2-inch walleye; both fish were kept.

Once on shore, we had a camp fire in the fire pit at the cabin. Another beautiful day on the water and shores of Leech Lake.
