Guest Johnny Bass Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Looks like another great adventure in your books. That place looks super remote. Did you see any other boats and how were the black flies up there? I hear they are brutal this year. That can of orange crush is really cool. I like seeing very old things. Anyways, thanks for sharing. Oh I forgot. What is closed cell foam? Edited May 16, 2010 by Johnny Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely possible I'm the only one who's fished it in recent years. It was waaaay too cold for blackflies LOL! Temps dipped into the minuses every night.. Closed cel foam is just very dense foam. I had a small chunk in my pocket that was ripped from a camping mattress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Next time I go I'm flying in and you're coming! Flying I could likely handle, back packing in, not a chance. Are we hiring Irishfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Super report! Great pictures, writing and total adventure. Those brookies look a little dark, bluish almost. Were the waters tea-stained? Amazing how some planning and experience helps make things work. Like having cell foam in pocket at right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anders Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Great report....i have been targeting specks up here for the last three weeks, and totally brushed off the walleye opener this past weekend to go for specks....what an amazing fish. You guys did great...and next time you pass through Wawa, I am putting up the toll booth!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutologist Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Right on! Cool trip, I all of the sudden dislike work very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Right on! Cool trip, I all of the sudden dislike work very much. What took you so long? I've disliked work for 30 years now. It gets in the way of fishing, but it does allow me to buy lots of fishing stuff and go on fishing vacations to exotic far away fishing nirvana's. So I guess it's not all that bad, but if I won the lottery I could stop working and fish full time!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
