Today's POD brings back memories of the 1st and only time I met Ranger's special "Lady". She still looks the same, she must have good doggy genes. Wink Cool

I met her once, too... though, at the time, she appeared a bit fidgety and less-than-thrilled about being in a canoe out on Kasakokwog Lake.

Tried to train my dog - a GREAT swimmer - to sit patiently in my canoe.  She kept jumping overboard, which usually flipped my Prism and me with it!

I gave up.

Kudos to Ranger; maybe he'll consider starting a school for training would-be Voyageur dogs.

Well, the real secret is that Penny hates to swim. So she has two choices in the canoe, and she elects to stay dry. The first time I put her in a canoe at home I had to wrestle her into the boat. Now she jumps right in. I've found that a blue closed cell foam pad helps too.

Penny will be on her fifth Quetico trip this September!  Cool

I notice Ranger is a fan of those inexpensive orange fish grippers. Cool

There are better grippers out there, but for the price it's hard to beat these IF you use a gripper. They float so you can't lose them overboard and hard to miss that orange around camp.

One of those cheap outdoor items that delivers way more than you'd expect at the price.

Yep, they've served me well on several trips now. I do enjoy the indestructible Boga's we use on the big lakes at home, but for canoe trips these hit a sweet spot between function / price / and float that's hard to beat.

I find it pretty easy to slip them on my wrist as a fish comes in, and then lip them right in the water. I've landed all of the grand slam species with these multiple times. I still lip bass the old school way, but if the hooks are in the way I'll use these just to avoid hook/hand issues in the Park.

Have one as well based on recommendations here. Come in handy specifically for critters like those in the picture. Don't even need to bring them into the canoe.

It's on the portage between Ted lk and Fishhook (Earl lk). I was surprised to see that much flow because where it empties into Ted, it doesn’t look like much of a run-off at all. Once on the portage you see there is a significant drop in elevation between Fishhook and Ted. The portage is short and deceptive elevation wise
