Fantastic Trip and Report, Extremley well written.

 

A journey "Dreams" are made of.

 

We need to talk about Albert's Camp and the freighter canoes.

I must say, Hooked with Mark Krupa was the only time I've seen the Sutton in that form and splendor.

 

He really expressed how special the system was, especially big brookies on the mice.

 

great to see another enjoy it the same way.

 

great stuff!

[Pangle]

Truly amazing.......I also really enjoy your writing/story telling. Some magazine editor should read your reports. Lol.

Awesome Stuff... That is a trip in a lifetime there! We rode in the otter this past June, awesome plane!! How did you guys take everything for 11 days?

Simply Incredible Report.... "How he pulled it out so fast still mystifies me." Doesn't mystify me. lololol

This report is both fascinating and amazing on so many levels. Legendary in fact! The writing is stellar as you take us with you on this crazy adventure.

It felt as if we could feel the riffles on the river, getting chilled in the rain, half sleeping in your tent while nervous about the close proximity of bears and I would swear that I got the itches when you guys were attacked by the hoard of sand flies not to mention I think my tongue swelled a little when Bill ate the trout.

Just that real. I hope this report gets published on a larger stage. It is that good. Thanks for sharing this.

 

 

 

Greeted with a picture perfect sunrise, it was an ideal day to fly.

 

 

This amazing picture sure sets the tone for a great start to your trip.

 

 

Mike, your first fish is breathtaking.

 

 

 

 

Classic Solopaddler pose. Love it!

 

 

 

 

 

Excuse me but this is just unfair. Eh, Bill.

 

 

 

Love Bill's 3 day grizzle. Looking good Bill!

I don't know if you guys noticed but what's with the mouths on these fish? Look at how light they are...

 

[davey buoy]

Thanks for posting-looks like an amazing trip and a report that does it justice

Once again getting me thinking about ditching our "luxurious" trips and try roughing it a little to really see the North

May have to hit you up for some Quetico and Alongquin trips Mike

[Handlebarz]

[irishfield]

Still haven't found the time to do anything but quickly look at the pictures. I've taken great time on the aircraft shots.. the brookie shots.. but Bill.. why Bill.. can he cook?? LOL Maybe I'll find time to read the story line tomorrow..

[icefisherman]

Wonderful account of an obviously amazing trip. Roy and several others used words like jealous & envy - but the only thing I can feel right now is awe ! What a fantastic adventure this must have been. Obviously something you'll never forget and frankly sharing this with us gives us all a bit of a taste of what it must have been like. Thank you so much for sharing and spending the time to do so. It is much appreciated !!

[dbick]

That was an epic, relentless succession of natural beauty; I won't remember that when I wake up.

[Guidofisherman]

I just sat down this morning with a coffee and read this amazing trip. The Sutton has to be on the top of my list and the report just confirmed that. Big brook trout on top waters is the ultimate:thumbsup_anim:.

[danc]

Without a doubt, this is the best fishing report that I've read anywhere. In print or on line. Congrats Bill and Mike. Well done guys. I'll be reading this one over and over a few times I'm sure. Thanks!!

[bronzeback]

Simply amazing Mike. A beautifully written story of an epic trip. Living the dream for sure.

[chris.brock]

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again, you are a lucky man,

 

you should consider writing a book, with so many adventures under your belt, the trips and information should be documented

[Trevor0179]

[Christopheraaron]

Let's try this, whoever posts the hundredth and first post gets a brook trout skunk for life!
