I took a mental health day on Tuseday and took the canoe north of GR to spend a day fishing and putzing.  I put in on Wabana Lake and paddled through the creek to Little Trout and Trout Lakes.  It was a breath taking day with very little wind, highs about 75 and dazzling fall colors at or near peak.  I didn't catch many fish, but had a great time.  These lakes are incredibly clear, although the water had just turned over so you could only see bottom at about 13 feet instead of the normal 20+.  I saw several deer close enough to shoot with my bow (if I hadn't left it in the car) and turtles, ducks, geese, etc.  Altogether it was a fantastic day.

Sounds like a great paddle - it still amazes me how many great places there are to paddle in Minnesota.
