Be safe MT Smiley
If the fishing sucks, you can always make lemonade from lemons and do some good old free enterprise business.
With that load of tackle you could outfit some poor sap that has lost his rod/tackle at a price fitting for the occasion Roll Eyes Grin

MT, Looking forward to your findings. Any fishing report that follows should include a rod # since a published rod list is available for easy reference  Thumbs Upup.  Gills are on the top of my list for eating fish, and i wonder if you might see a whitefish on the end of your line, i've heard they're tasty, but never caught one. Be blessed, have fun!

Having some fun in Minneapolis.............what a great town! Went to the Guthrie theatre and seen "Roman Holiday", a musical, and liked the place so much went back the next night and seen the "Sunshine Boys". I envy you twin city QJ members who have the culture of the big city without 7 lanes of traffic and are only one day away from canoe country.............best of both worlds!

Should be on Basswood tomorrow..............humidity supposed to clear out but my friend has informed me that his friend had just returned from the BWCA and the bugs were horrendous.........I replied that it is now August and all the bugs are gone Wink.

I'm back. Trip went great, very satisfying. Boat is awesome. Fishing was good for size but not numbers. 11 days and I'm already wishing I was back out there.

Thanks to all who weighed in on this thread to help me flesh out a trip that was so much more than I was expecting it to be.

I will post my journal in lieu of a TR along with some pics. My apologies in advance as it is a bit laborious to wade through but those who are piscatorially minded might find some interesting nuggets to come away with.

Welcome back!  Glad there was no diaster headline announcing your return.  I'll be in some of the same water in less than three weeks.

Just remember your horoscope symbols; or maybe you are into astronomy ... Pisces (the fish).
