Pete,

Thank you.

Obviously a lot depends upon water temperatures. Anybody know the water temperatue on a typical southern Quetico lake in September ... or a least a range, given that much depends upon weather for the year and the size and depth of the lake??

Any other opinions on the "swim in vs. float in" debate?

Paddled part of the Ohio River this weekend. Y'all should have seen the geese coming in over the bridges ... not to mention the herons, mallards and a surprised coyote.
