Mixed emotions DD. I really enjoyed your slide show.....nicely done (what, no fish pics!) but I must admit to having to suppress a bit of emotion......just a smidge mind you. Hopefully I'll get another crack at it, looks nice.

I'm usually trying to get the fish back into the water as quickly as possible, so I don't often take fish pictures.  I did boat at least 3 waldo's that would run between 28-30 inches, a laker at 32-34 inches and pike running about that size (among others I landed).  We had 3 fish meals (2 walleye, 1 lake trout), but that was all we were shooting for based on our meal planning.

Hope you make another attempt.  As you have seen, WCP is a bit more wilderness than QP ... but that just makes it a more desirable option to me.  Campsites are usually very spartan and fire rings tend to run toward the minimalist scale.  The place we stayed on Donald had weeds growing in and around the fire pit that would go 2-3 feet tall.  On other sites, at least some of the tent pad spots are covered with deep moss.  Frequently, landings are (to put it kindly) challenging.  I've found this scenario on each of the trips I taken to WCP.
