I take this trip every year (at least I try to make it).   Some of the highlights were --
1) There was more snow than usual on the hills.
2) My friend and I caught approximately 35 fish during the two days.
3) Most of the fish were between 12 and 13 inches long.
4) The mosquitoes were more abundant than usual.
5) I counted around 150 airplanes passing overhead.
6) We saw 10 people at the lake.
7) I took pictures of an eagle (or hawk).
