In a return trip this month, my ninth with Iowa friend Ken Pink and others, it gained increased importance. My last year has centered around As the camp we long ago began calling our second home each June nears, anticipation spikes. It’s not just the bounty Lac Seul holds — walleye nearing 30 inches, writhing pike that fold like Slinkys into oversized nets, feisty smallmouth bass — that lures us year after year.

On the most recent trip, San Diego’s Nick Jones made his second visit. The first trip was so compelling that he invested in an expensive camera lens to capture and bottle up as much of this place as possible.
