I figured half a day fishing is better than nothing, even though it’s a long drive for me. On the water by 330pm and fished a couple hours with only one hit. Decided to take a break on shore as it was windy and hard to control the speed of lure on canoe. Gave my blood donation to the black flies waiting and the skeeters got their share too at sunset when I was packing up. They were brutal. Winds died down so I tried to put in a couple more hours of fishing. Got a solid hit around 7pm and felt some weight. When the fish got close to the canoe it took several runs and it put up a great fight. Lost one other one that seemed smaller. First Algonquin splake at 20” and only my second ever caught.
