This year is my 40th year of paddling in the BW/Q. My first trip was a flyin to the old ranger station on Irving Is on LLC. We crossed the Blackrobe enroute to Minn, where we spent a week. The fishing was lights out and I was hooked for life. I knew that when the time came I would hook my brother (Snowdog, who was 5 at that time) also. If Mom only knew...

How many years since your first visit to BW/Q? and what do you remember most about your first trip?
