I know four people who have been to curtain falls once. Years ago after trips we'd always get together for baked trout and a slideshow and play name that spot. For some reason Curtain for me, and I expect them, remains amazingly memorable. It's no longer possible but I'd be willing to bet all four could still name that spot if they saw yesterday's and today's POD. I've learned to recognize a few other spots I've never even been to via pictures on the web but Curtain remains as THE most recognizable BW/Q place I've been to once or twice. I don't know what it is but there is just something unmistakable about it in any water level although it looks nastier in low.

Those Curtain shots are great....Agree db, there is something unidentifiable there...and it brings one back instantly to that special place.

It reminded me of my last time to Curtain with my girls...6 yrs ago.  Come to think of it, there was just something plain weird about that day, something fishy.  Sometimes those falls can take on a nasty disposition...

Loved the dramatic picture of Curtain Falls Randy!  db is correct, it's truely easy place to recognize.  See attached picture from "The Voyaguer Highway, Grace Lee Nute, MN Hist Society, 1944 describes:

"David Thompson's journal, July 18th 1797; He "very near upset" in a strong Current' just before reaching the portage at Curtain Falls, which he descrbes as about two hundred yards in length on the right-hand side of his route.  The unloading was "very bad" and the bank was steep.  He gives the height of the falls as twenty feet.  At nine thirty he and his people encamped for the night."

How did your/are foam lure "holder" work?
I believe I see a lure "snagged" up on it

Prouty -

If you get back to WCPP and happen to make it to Mexican Hat Lake, I'll give you the location of a walleye hole to end all walleye holes!  Four of us fished a relatively small area for maybe an hour ... I guessing we caught/released well over 100 before moving on.  They were almost all at the large end of eater size or bigger.  I wouldn't say they were active, but I made the mistake of leaving my lure dangling, partially submerged, over the side of the canoe while releasing one of my catches.  WHAM ... another 24+ incher on the line ... a quick grab saved my fishing rig!
