My thinking for June in WCP with consecutive years of wet weather would be to be ready for the winged menace. I bet the bugs might be a little tough.

That high water probably would be a benefit on your route though Ben.
The netting might be a hassle to unhook and hook at portage landings though. If your a chicken like me and not apt to paddle in the breakers away from shore you might get by not tying in at all. I'm thinking a biner clipped into a strap around a thwart sort of thing for on the river. I think my bags will float for the most part anyway and I just don't want them going for a ride down the river. My thinking is a leash of sorts. Maybe an eyebolt through my railing would be better. Sure wouldn't want a damaged thwart.

If I ever move up to being a white water man I would have to follow suit with Jimbo and get a spray cover. The Bloodvein to Winnipeg sounds like a lot of fun to me.
