Well, usually I'm the one who writes up these trip reports, but this year my daughter decided that it was her turn to write one. For the last 4 years now we've been doing a 'parent-kid' fishing trip to Pen Lake either the first or second week of trout season. This was Madeline's second year on the trip with me. 1st Day
2nd Day
3rd Day

On the way up we saw a moose. It was very hairy. Later on when we started, it was very windy. We started on Rock Lake. Behind an island we decided to push on to the portage. At the portage we had lunch. Soon it started raining. 
It finished raining, so we started out again on Pen Lake. When we got to the ''camp site area'' we started looking for empty campsites. In the end we found a campsite. It was small and the lid was gone on the thunder box but it worked.
We woke up to a breakfast of bacon and eggs. It was almost lunch time when we got out on the water again. First we went to a good spot to fish at a portage. 
Rob caught 1 speckled trout and 1 sucker. After awhile we went to another portage to fish. There we caught 2 specks and 2 suckers. After awhile we went went back to the campsite for lunch.
Today we started out the same as yesterday. But today Scott got a hit from a sucker and Rob caught a speckled trout. At the second stop Rob caught 4 speckled trout and 1 sucker. Scott's rod broke in 2 pieces.
Other people we were camping with caught 3-4 fish. One was stuffed with water.
When we woke up we had a quick breakfast of oatmeal then left. I carried the orange pack and cooler across the portage. Scott and I both caught lake trout. 
We saw 2 moose on the way back.
