Title: Re: Battle of the sexes
Post by Westwood on Apr 13th, 2014 at 9:12pm
My wife has slowly increased the amount of time she spends in the Q.  We started off with three days trips and now we are up to 6 days trip.  We only do easy trips.  The last few years we either base camp on Beaverhouse or Quetico.  She only has to paddle if the wind makes it difficult for me to control the canoe.  Other than some token casting all our fishing is trolling.  I found a folding toilet seat which is padded so that makes her trips much easier.  She doesn't like bugs so we generally go around Labor Day because the bugs are pretty much gone and the weather is still warm.  She is a good cook and insists on packing the food.  I also do a week trip around the end of June with my son and maybe another trip with my brother.  Each trip has a different flavor and has its pros and cons.  Our current debate is deciding on quantity of fish verses size of fish.  She still likes catching small smallmouth bass and I prefer large northerns and trout.  She likes catching northerns and trout she just likes to catch more fish regardless of size.
