Beached.  This is a group of us on a beach where we just finished a fantastic shore lunch prepared by Dick Kellor and Dave Schimke.  We spent five days fishing on the immense Lake St. Joseph, northeast of Sioux Lookout, Ontario.  Rumor has it that there's a mysterious place called Al Orsen Island.  Local Ojibway First Nation residents, steer clear!  Front (l-r):  Marc Kaprivec, Dick Kellor, Andrew Butt, Merritt Henry, Ira Happe.  Back: Skip Wilson, Roger Oas, Kurt Zuppke, Wes Lussman, Dave Schimke, Bob Oas.
