A big storm moved through last night and we lost power during dinner.
\nFortunately Bill had bought a jar candle on impulse, which saved us from having
\nto sit around my Mag-Lite to finish our meal. I remember getting up during the
\nmiddle of the night to turn off the lights in the cabin when the outage had run its
\ncourse. By morning the outlook for the day’s weather looked promising. We made
\na four-man, two-boat outing to Connors Point, hoping to find yellow perch.
\nInexplicably, JD and Bob each caught a northern pike. We worked Little Joe Island
\nand Moscoe Channel before packing it in. Clearly we’re not having luck with the
\nsmaller species, but the return of the pike is a great development for the region.
\nThey wouldn’t be back if it weren’t for an abundance of prey, and that must be a
\nresult of the systematic elimination of the destructive cormorants. Perhaps the
\nbalance we knew as recently as the mid-90s will be fully restored. Meanwhile,
\nwe’d better focus on harvesting some king salmon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
