Title: Re: my canoeing dilemna Post by Westwood on Jul 31st, 2014 at 9:28pm
For all you Harry Chapin fans. I refer you to his song, Greyhound. At the end of the song, "Getting off this dirty bus first time I understood, it's got to be the going there not the getting there that's good.
10 years ago, on the first day, my son and I would drive up to Beaverhouse and paddle into Jean Lake and base camp. Jean is a beautiful lake and certainly held our attention for a week. But as he pointed out, we were burning two days just to get to Jean Lake. We now fish closer to the put in point. I think once you get in 5 miles, the fishing is good. Obviously, some spots are better than others. On a large lake like Cirrus, you could spend a week fishing from your base camp. If you want you could move from one campsite to another, but still stay on Cirrus. Contact me next year, I may be on reduced work status. Westwood |
