I didn't think the Poodle portages would be open. Might have to check it out. I imagine they are getting the same rain as we are in MN. Was the water flowing pretty good?

The Poodle portages can easily be followed but just take that from me. Officially you may be told that they are not able to be used. The south portage is marked wrong on the new map. Look for it on the NW corner of the bay and not NE as the map shows as you exit north from East Royd Creek. Water levels were high with most lakes showing only 6 inches below the high water mark on the rock walls. I should add that this was before the heavy rains  of last week.
