    Hit the high country near home with the girls for some tent camping with our friends’ family at their camper site. Lots of chilling and hanging with the young’uns…

    Followed this pretty lady as she ran for 7 miles along the river…training for a December run. Scoped out some nice spots to try this fall and winter once the water clears, and the ‘skis get active.

    I managed to sneak off with the Badfisher to surf down a couple miles of nice rapids into some gorgeous, fishy water. I spent a couple hours trying for Muskies without much luck in the heat of the day…but I know some of this water is worthwhile for a revisit later during cooler water.

    I finally gave in and tried for some brown bass, an soon tied into this nice smallie…MAN, did he fight. This brute pulled the paddleboard a good haul over some rock ledges before I finally got him in.

    It almost made me regret passing up all the other smallie holes chasing Muskies….almost.

    Made my way downstream, and even managed to get a stranded tourist back to his raft with his family by towing him in the SUP.

    Man, I love summer…but I can’t wait for that cooler fall weather, though.

    Hope you guys had a great Labor Day weekend.
