Hopefully you won't encounter any portages more difficult than the one on Isle Royale.

I know how gear tends to accumulate. Every trip I say why am I taking this, I've yet to use it. I'll leave it and maybe take something I wish I had before but didn't.

You can guess the rest. I end up wishing I had what I left and the circle continues ;D

It's like fishing gear. Trophy fish aside, you could probably bring Yellow and White Jig-heads, say 1/4-3/8 ounce and the same color in Twisty tails and catch all you'd need for meals and sport.

I know that's heresy to many, but I know I've caught the Grand Slam on them and bet others have too. Still it's fun to bring stuff and try it out. I'm sure the Fishing Industry can use the support ;)
