Lake Windermere is still producing trophy sized smallmouth, and the pike and walleye are getting bigger. It looks like the Happy Day plan to increase the number of breeders is working.

This may have been our last trip to Windermere. The camp is reluctant to rent a four person cabin to three people. What a shame.

We used the camp's equipment this year. Matt put the finbal nail in the Rinker's coffin last fall when he went for an afternoon of pleasure boating with with and forgot to put in the drain plug. The boat could have been salvaged had he taken it for service before taking it out on the lake again. It's been donated to charity.

The camp's equipment worked great, but we needed to be frugal with the trolling. The batteries never lasted for a whole day of fishing.
