Wolf Lake I-IV

It was going to be a nice day to go out on the lake, with a temperature reaching 79F (26C) and humidity making it feel like 86F (30C).

We decided to go to Wolf Lake for a change, as the last time we were there was in July 2014.

It didn't take long to get everything ready and we were on our way.

The nice thing about going out during the week, is that we do not have to contend with the weekend traffic.

Once at the lake, it was easy to put the canoe into the lake get everything loaded as there was no one around. Ron parked the car and we were off.

Wolf Lake I

We paddled out into the lake for about a half hour and Ron started fishing while I got out my sketch book and sketched until Ron caught a large mouth bass.















Wolf Lake II

After I unhooked the fish and carefully released it into the lake; the canoe had drifted and rather than paddle back to where I had been sketching I simply started another sketch.















Wolf Lake III

After Ron caught his second bass, we stopped for lunch in a quiet inlet. It was there, after lunch he found a great spot for catching bass. Which, aside from stopping to take them off the hook and release them, it gave me plenty of time to work on a drawing.















Wolf Lake IV

After he caught his fifth bass it was time to head back and go home, on the way I did this last sketch of rocks at the lake's edge.

I will post each of these sketches as more work on them is completed.
