Tim's BWJ story on McDougall from long ago (probably the basis for the chapter in his book) was part of what enticed me to break off from the first "Bushwhacker's Jamboree" and go there for the first time back in 2005.  He touted the smallmouth fishing as superb... and was right!

By the way, TomT, speaking of books... thank you for your recent recommendation re: Ivan Doig's book, "The Sea Runners."  It was a very enjoyable read and a great way to spend the hours/days of "waiting" until I can get my own adventures going again!

I leave in 5 weeks.  Meanwhile, I get to adventure vicariously by following friends via their SPOT location messages.  Hey, maybe I'll even get lucky enough to be called in to do a "rescue!"  Surely, one of my buddies will need to be rescued?!?  Please, please, please!!!!

Hmmm... that might be a truism for the ages: "rescue" truly lies in the eye of the beholder.
