Day of Kayaking and Fishing 7/16

Today we slept in and then had great breakfast of bacon and eggs cooked over the fire.

We then loaded the kayaks and took off down the channels to the remote ponds in the area. We fished along the way and caught tons of small panfish and a few bass. The scenery was beautiful as there were very few other people and the shorelines were undeveloped. We took a break from kayaking and ate lunch on a small island. While eating lunch, a couple of loons appeared close to our picnic area, so we jumped into the kayaks and tried to get closer for a picture.

On our trip we ended up in the middle of nowhere and found a small beach and a trail that led to a canoe outfitter called St. Regis Outfitters that runs backcountry canoe trips deep in to the St. Regis Ponds Area.

We returned to camp and rested for a while before heading back out on the kayaks to do some more fishing. As were fishing, the eagle flew over for a return visit. Next, we came across a small doe that was eating plants along the shore. We took the kayaks quietly closer and were amazed that we could get within 15 feet of the deer without it getting scared and running off.
