I love that! I used to do this in Michigan years ago and loved it. I ordered a rod just for these bad boys and it arrived today - been whipping it around the den all afternoon. August seems a long way away.

I have searched the site and done some googling but cannot find the information. It doesn't even matter really. What I am curious about are the river water temps up over 60th? Not actual temps, but a description, bathwater, ice water, etc. Seems the air temp averages 55 F or so - that makes...

Thermarest Basecamp XL mat for those comfort trips. Four lb's, 30" wide and 2" thick. Thermarest large pillow and I'm sleeping - well I really don't sleep much, but I can lie there at nite in complete comfort.

Been a long time since I've been up to BW/Quetico, but we had light traffic on BW at the end of Sept, but we didn't see anyone in Quetico. I know you were thinking summer trip. D, this might be something you have done, but about 35 years ago I had everything mapped out to do the Frost River...

On those non-portage flatwater trips I will even bring two. I got the knock off Yeti 20 for a $100 delivered. Works very well. I keep them in the shade and cover with a wet towel. When Chick and I get a trip in summer, I throw beverages in a 16 qt Stanley Expedition, and just feed the ice...

And then I read about 6 articles from people that said they wished they had brought a fly rod. So, I can get three rods in the two cases which are ok, can keep below the 25" max case length. Tried to incorporate all the info above with current and potential new rods. 8' 4 wt fly rod with...

How about a huge non-refundable deposit if you don't show?

I will never shed tears again because Glenn called my canoe ugly, noisy and unnecessary.........

I think Bill pretty much nailed it - I lived in the Midwest so BW and Quetico were the standard fare. Moved to NY 25 years ago, and the ADK's are nice, just a much smaller scale. If I were to have the option of doing either and the logistics were the same I would select BW. Never had an...

Roger that - great idea. Also, greatly appreciate all of the admin's help along the way. To me, this sight runs flawlessly and is easily the most consistent one I frequent.

Thank you Michael. Right now I'm practicing my "naked guy fishing on a rock pose", but I can't make it look natural like you did. Plus I better lose a few pounds. Is that bad on a group trip?

Thank you gamma, I will check into those lures. I I have always depended on those brass spinners, and love them in tannic stained waters of Michigan! I would have thought more people would have used brass in stained water, but it doesn't seem to be the case out here. A bunch of years ago...

This is perfect - thank you gents. I've got a bunch of rods but not too many travel rods that break down to 25". Looks like I get to do some more shopping. Love the stripped down tackle needs. I assumed fish would be pretty anxious to strike up north, but good to know I can cut back on...

Finally able to get out skiing for the first time this year. Warm and sunny, so the snow turned into mashed potato's. Good way to twist something. Steelhead fishing has been slow. Our local guy who fishes every single day going back years, just caught his 70th fish last Thursday...

Thank you Glenn. I'm not trying to keep you busy, promise!

Thank you Alan, I do love the new lines. Former life as a fisherman? It never goes away - I'll bet you still have your rods in the basement!

Thank you U. Sorry to hear of your loss. I'm going all out till I drop!

Jackpine travel is booked for the Upper Thelon. Now, I've been pouring over trip stuff, and I have a question. Got my gear list and all looks like I would have expected. What threw me was the gear I need to bring - water shoes for in and out of the boat and bathing suit optional. I...

Thank you Glenn. I've got my head wrapped around this now and am charging ahead with your advice. I have lists of stuff to do right through December.

New Public Service Announcement. Putting this out there for awareness. Seems I'm sick all of the time so might as well spread the word - some good has to come out of this. I do not do this for sympathy, I do it just in case it can help someone else. I also have fun with it - my buddies...
