Hello all, I want to thank everyone for their input on fishing Wabakimi. Several people had specific recommendations, and mem pointed out they try to keep from catching them. Anyway, I got to see pike slashing at my lure while it was only halfway in the water. Walleye below just about every...

Yes, we had heard about the mauling from our pilot, Noah. According to him, the guy tried to run from the bear, resulting in a lost foot race and about 400 stitches. I have not seen the article though. It was funny - we saw a bear and a moose on the drive up, and 3 bears driving back down...

Just got back from 2 weeks in Wabakimi and for the first time ever I just kept the barrel under the tarp. A couple of interested chipmonks but that was it.

Thank you Erica. The way I look at it many of those little kids at St. Jude's Children's Hospital we see on TV never saw the age of five. I have nothing to complain about!

Thank you jdf, this is perfect. All of the recommendations looked good but my one brother is driving in form CO so a midpoint is perfect. Looks like an interesting park so will learn a bit more about Canada!

Thank you BF. I agree, just keep moving. Both Chick and I got new mountain bikes for just that reason, and we are thinking about getting fat bikes for the winter.

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...
