The preparations for the "Coyle Family Reunion" were now in full swing. Everyone was bustling about, packing, repacking, on the phone with various family members, making sure out-of-town travelers were getting picked up at the airport, etc.
I managed to escape from the fray for just an hour during the hottest part of midday. The temperature had climbed to 85 degrees, the wind was slight at 5-8 mph out of the SW, the sky was clear blue and the water temperature had risen to 77 degrees, the warmest it's been this summer.
Drifting in the light winds I made quick passes at both Second Duck Point and along the weed line at the Birches, but caught nothing. I was rushed, feeling the need to get back to the cabin to help pack up, so my mind was not as focused as usual. Not the way to put Leech Lake walleyes in the boat.
