Not sure if this will work, sounds good on my phone, but doesn't seem to come thru on computer, will give it a try.

short video of view from the island


and, recorded from inside the tent, nothing to look at, but you hopefully can hear the loons.

couldn't have worked out any better, he probably caught the most and the biggest of everything but the pike. I am cursed at times by the smallmouth gods. Every year, my dad and brother, if not a couple times at least once, they will be catching smallmouth on every other cast or so and I can throw on top of the lure, beside it, cut them off, etc. you name it and I will catch a pike. They call me the tooth king, and the last 5 trips my last fish has been a pike everytime and I promist you it is not because I am trying to catch one. I did hook one that got off, that was 40" fish or better, I would have liked to have gotten him in. For my brother and myself is all about our dad and we could care less if we catch anything so long he does. He carried both of us on our first trips when we were 13 and we have been hooked ever since. His first trip was to Rainy about 1970. I have fished many, many lakes in Ontario, they are all breathtaking and great to fish, but Rainy is for sure one of the best.

Awesome pictures, what a beautiful place. What's the weather like up there this time of year?

1st of July is always great. Can get cold at night and it can get hot in the daytime, but it usually just comfortable. Went once in August, we caught the fish and caught them well, but it was HOT. This year it was cold the first 2 nights and the first day, but after that it was great.
