To explain a little more: The focus would be on fishing as primary objective for experienced travlers. Facets could include; lakes to fish (we would not be giving out fishing holes or specific lakes, but rather characteristics of productive lakes), fishing tackle selection, personalizing one's canoe, choosing compatible partners, packing methods to facilitate travel, etc.

As Jimbo mentioned, we would need someone gifted with powerpoint, A/V, to handle technical issues.

Ok, time for an update. I'm willing to facilitate organizing a few QJers who would be willing to participate in a panel discussion at Copia for 2014. 2013 is already full, so we need to start early if we want to get 'in the loop' for 2014.

If you have interest (not neccesarily committment at this point), please PM me and indicate what aspects of trip planning you feel competent to discuss. If I can assume that we will have lunch and/or dinner plans at Copia, we can discuss it there.

At this point, I am only gauging interest. My vision is that we can develop a 'Roundtable Discussion' of advanced planning for canoe trips where fishing is a high priority. I'm thinking we should have 3-6 QJers on the panel.

If you have ideas or want to contribute, post here.

Thanks!

Here is my proposal. I am willing to plan a dinner for Friday evening for the purpose of discussing the possibilities of a few QJ luminaries making a 'roundtable discussion' of the factors that make a successful fishing based canoe trip. Snowdog and I are planning to be at Copia all 3 days and look forward to meeting with you.

If you are interested, or have ideas, please post here or PM me.

Thanks,
