We could do so, and catch fish and eat our meal, for we know
the way to within easy walking distance of Grand Lake, but the boys
are game.
If we only had a fish net we would be 0.K. My plan is
to get a few fish if possible, push on at once to Michikamau
somehow. Get to the George River, and find the Nascaupees. Then
if the caribou migration is not over, we will kill some of the
animals, dry them up and get as far back as possible before
freezing up and leaving the canoe. Then, unless we can get some
one to show us to the St. Lawrence, we will probably go to
Northwest River Post, get dogs and provisions, and snowshoe S.W. to
Natishquan or some such point. If we don't get to the caribou
grounds in time - well, we'll have to get some fish ahead, or use
our pea meal in a dash for the George River H.B.C. Post. After
breakfast George and I went in rain to climb mountain. No water
into S.W. bay of our lake as we hoped. Trolling back, I caught one
small namaycush. Then we all started to hunt for a rapid we heard
on the south side of this lake. Caught one 2 1/2 lb. namaycush.
Found rapid. Good sized stream falling in from south. Big hopes,
but too shoal and rapid, no pools. Only one mess of trout.
