Freakin great job boys! but, i gotta say. I've been through worse roadst han that with the 2001 olds silhouette and shes still runnin strong! besides the chrome on the rimms peelin and causing a few problems. but thats what the truck is for when the contract negotiations are over!!! cant wait to get out there for some REAL fishing this year. specks, lakers, pike, walleye and bass are all gettin in the boat this season! with the exception of a few other odd fish.

Headed up that direction later this summer.

Sorry buddy, Flyers have too much size and skill up front.

It's back to reality for your Habs.

If'n I didn't like you Mike it'd be easy to hate you.

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?

It is super remote bud. 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.

Flying I could likely handle, back packing in, not a chance.

 

Are we hiring Irishfield.

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.

[JPD]

Great report Solo... always a pleasure to read!

[Jds63]

Your fishing adventures are awesome to read. The effort you put in certainly pays off.

 

Thanks

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!!!

[troutologist]

Right on! Cool trip, I all of the sudden dislike work very much.

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!!!
