The drive was about two hours north from Ryan's place, and the scenery leading up to our destination was beautiful. There were rolling green hills, farms, and forests to stimulate our sights. When we finally reached the small town of Waubaushene, we prepared the canoe, and launched it. There isn't much to say about this trip in terms of action, as we didn't catch anything; however, Ryan had two large fish on the hook, only to lose them shortly after the fights began. Afterwards, it was quiet. We had fun nonetheless, as we paddled along the weed beds in search of promising fishing spots.
Our legs and backs eventually became sore from sitting in the canoe for over three hours, and so we decided to stop at an island in the middle of the bay. We stretched, walked around, observed the wild flowers and other plants growing on the island, and talked about coming back to Waubaushene despite not catching anything - after all, we knew the fish were there, but it just wasn't our day. That day will come (in 2014, hopefully!). Furthermore, the bay is apparently a great spot for waterfowl hunting in the fall. I've already begun planning the trip in my head. I'll update here when I obtain a waterfowl license.
