Fellow Morel Lovers,, this will be my first trip to the BWCA but being from the river bottoms of central Missouri, we know alot about Morels,, a friend of mine, Larry Lonik,, may he r.i.p.,, was a professional Morel hunter,, he died in an ATV accident hunting mushrooms,, i couldnt think of a better way to go,, but Larry told me stories of people starting in the south in April and moving north as the season moved on, some of his biggest and best stories were from late season hunts in Michigan and Minnesota,, 12 foot Jon Boats completly full of Morels .. Here in the midwest we find what they call "Big Blonde Morels" ,, in the north they find what we call "Black Morels or Peckerheads",, just as good ,, just as good to eat,, just a little different looking,,,.. and Larry always told me that these northern Morels always loved burned out areas,,,.. he even told me that there were hunters who would just look for burned out old forests to find Morels,, I dont know what it is but I would guess that in the burned areas of BWCA ther are millions of Morels,,,, We are coming in June , probably a great time to find Morels,, I will be looking,, A Blackened Walleye Fillet, smothered in fresh Morels might be too much for my group to handle !! Happy Fishing Boys!!!
