I am not the worlds best at computers, but the website for a fishing license seems a bit.....frustrating. (Right with Robin.) I called the 800# for the heck of it (Sunday) and it is not in service. Ok, regroup, get last cup of coffee and dive back in!

Thank you gents!

Hello folks, I am purchasing my license and want to make sure I am on the ride side of the constabulary. I understand I need the Outdoors Card and a license. Site states it is laminated card, obtained first. Do I need to do this online or can I just drive up to Thunder Bay and purchase my...

Thank you YC! As I was doing my planning saw Geraldton and thought it rang a bell, and it hit me pretty quick. Mem and others have been providing great advice about this. I am going through the details but have informed my brothers we will meet outside of town, sort gear, hit Walmart and...

Thank you gentlemen - I will check these out!

Good morning, Getting ready to meet in Thunder Bay for the Wabakimi trip. We will have some time before and after the trip to organize. I hate organizing gear in hotel rooms, so is there a local campground that would fit the bill? Otherwise, any cool bars, restaurants, or sites that are a...

I was open to the idea of an EV but like many, want to wait for the infrastructure to develop. I could live with a mild hybrid now, and I think this is a good logical next step as they phase out my car. This mainly started as I was using my 4x4 as my daily driver. However I purchased a...

Day trip fishing the Pere Marquette river for spring steelhead. At days end I couldn't find my cell phone or my watch. Hunted everywhere in my buddies house, my car, - nothing. This was the last day of spring fishing so I put the neoprene waders away for the summer. Fall rolls around and I...

Please remember it is a matter of perspective. I'll trade places with any one of you. I WISH I had your problems!! LOL. Just spend the year doing everything listed above and plan trips. Also, while it won't be canoeing, pick one of your other favorite activities and develop it. I got...

Problem solved! I sincerely appreciate all of the great ideas. "All of us knows more than one of us". Plus my level of mechanical anything does not rate on any scale. I had tried both of the retailers mentioned, but one wouldn't sell me bars I need for legal reasons ("not the recommended...

Thanks for all the input - I just sat down and aw these. Going to grab a coffee and go through them. I will report! Thanks.

You as well Robin - safe travels!

I purchased my first dry suit a short time back but was not able to push my trips further into shoulder season as planned. My 2 experiences were perfectly fine - not too hot or cold. Question on a "rashguard". Is this something I should purchase due to it being a specifically desired item, or...

Thank you Alan. I have read this a couple of times relating to pike, and the grayling on the Thelon. Th context is so bizarre, as I have travelled all over to catch fish and as you and Mem point out this could get to be a PITA. It will work very well for my brothers who generally don't...

Eureka Alpenlite XT 2 man for my shoulder season solo trips. Great ventilation and 2 nice vestibules provide great storage. Small footprint - I wouldn't want to sleep with anyone else - even Chick, but great for one person. This thing can be cinched down pretty tight against wind...

For 2 people I use a Marmot Limelight 3 person. Love everything about the tent but perhaps the best feature is I don't have to crawl in on all fours. Entry is from the side with a big door. I can sit right down inside of the front door and swing both feet in at once. Every year that ground...

That is music to my ears - thank you Mem. I have to keep reminding for this trip and the Thelon my tried and true fishing techniques I use are for high pressure areas and I don't need to overthink it. In fact, I have a roll of yellow in the basement!! Thank you!

CanoeDaddy, I am leaving for Wabakimi in a few weeks and I have been saving this trip report until closer to the departure time. My 2 brothers and I are heading in, and since time is not of the essence for us ( 2 retired and 1 teacher) we have set aside 15 days to head up and enjoy ourselves...

"No underwear for me 8 months out of the year. I've been going commando for around 7 years I suppose." ...and the promotion to Super Moderator becomes just a bit more clear... Sorry - Alan, couldn't help it. Congrats on the move!

Thank you Boatman, it does make sense, plus I had seen a picture of that on line. That might be my go-to!
