Sculpin fly and Brown Trout
Kris and Mike Kettu stopped by the cabin yesterday afternoon. Mike and I headed off to Skeleton falls on the lower Escy. I got three browns with the sculpin fly above, while Kris and the kids had a good visit.

A weeks worth of rock climbing
Today's Guest Blogger: Jonah
Here I am at Presque Isle. We rode our bikes here and climbed rocks. We went about a week ago. I really liked it because I really like rock climbing.
We walked to the stop sign and climbed up to wolf point hill. It is on the road from Shag.
A few days later we went to Mount Sugarloaf. IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!! (As I said before I love rock climbing.)
I CLIMBED STRAIGHT UP, NOT ON THE PATH.
We're at the top, at a pillar.

Fish & Fish Art
The fish hunters headed out onto Big Shag lake yesterday.
We had some success acquiring subjects for artwork and consumption.
We used the hand ground ink, Japanese brushes and rice paper. Ink was applied.
Paper applied.
Prints were pulled.
Jonah printed his fish, too.
Jonah printed three colors of fish on top of each other. Leah made a print with different colors of fish making a school.
After that the fish were filetted.
And eaten for a late afternoon snack.

One nation under dog
Special guest blog by Leah Wallach
It may seem that this is just a normal puppy sleeping on a deck- but if only you knew the truth.
Here he is gnawing on the carcass of one of his victims. It is an already-dead, maggot-infested walleye that washed up on shore. We smelled it long before we saw it. And him.
Here he is on his Royal Chaise Lounge. Imitating Uncle Mike.
Here Gryffindor is using his supersonic alien speed to befuddle his humans.
He is exhausted in this picture, and we were able to see past his trickery. However, the truth was yet to come.
This picture says it all. This is his true identity. Look in his eyes. Griff is really an alien from the planet Zorgon. He is here to collect puppy treats for warship fuel, so he can take over the universe. He has four main weapons: Cuteness Ray, mind control, CDH (Curious Dog Head), and the Jaws of Death.
