Mihun, Do you wear a red suit and drive a sleigh?!! If so, I want some arctic fox pelt for Christmas!

I am bringing a Powell 8 Wt, an old Lamiglass 7 Wt., a 6 Wt. St. Croix and a 6 Wt. Epic Two hander I need practice with. Main target is Big Brookies, but I hope to hook Pike, Walleye, some Lake Trout and anything else I can target in the shallower water after ice out.

=Thank you, guys! Mandatory retirement for me is 57, so I'm easing into it. I tell my bones I'm young, but its not the years, its the mileage. Just coming off a fractured heel and after surviving those circumstances, decided it's time to start doing the things I've been planning for years. The...

Hello all, I am new to the site and was happy to find a Canoe-trip specific site like this! After raising 2 daughters and putting some of my wanderings on hold, I'm now 55 and approaching mandatory retirement. I am an avid outdoorsman, upland and deer hunter, fly fisherman and camping...
