Planning a Fishing-based Wilderness Canoe Trip

That's the title of our show at Copia this year. The whole show runs March 10-12, 2017 at the Alliant Center in Madison, WI. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links); Wally 13 and I did this show back in 2014, which many attended, SRO as I recall. This years show keeps the best of our last show and we've added some new ideas and twists. You won't want to miss it. We're scheduled on Saturday at 4:30-5:15 pm in the Bear Room (upstairs). It's a larger room than we had last time. Cool

Rich Williamson, aka ‘Old Salt’, and Mike Porter, aka ‘Wally 13’ are both seasoned Quetico veterans. They are well-known and highly respected bloggers on such sites as QuietJourney.com, Bwca.com, and Paddleplanner.com.
They will conversationally discuss the planning process and decisions that need to be made well in advance of the trip departure that can enhance or undermine the success of a trip before it begins. By definition, a fishing-based trip is a trip focused on maximizing available fishing opportunities.
Are all participants on board with fishing as the primary goal? Several questions need clear answers well ahead of departure. Who is going?  When are we going? Where are we going? Which lake(s) will we fish on? Rich and Mike make suggestions for good methods for gathering pre-trip intelligence. Suggestions will be shared for using recent technology to enhance your fishing success. Tactics, strategies, and weather all are factors that we will discuss. Come to hear some practical advice and tips to maximize your fishing time in your favorite wilderness areas.

Due to the timing of our presentation, we will begin gathering for our annual QuietJourney.com dinner at 6:00 pm. More details will be posted later on that. We look forward to seeing many of you at Copia and our dinner. Cool Make your plans to attend, and reserve your rooms at the Country Inn & Suites (another thread). Don't miss out!

Some have noticed that Copia is running later than normal in posting presenters and exhibitors. We have been told this information will be posted in early February. So, hang in there, and make your plans to join us at the Country Inn & Suites in Menona. You'll never rendezvous with so many experienced voyaguers anywhere else. It's a great opportunity to swap a few tales, some of them true, and learn a few fishing holes...you didn't read that here Wink...

See you March 10-12 in Madtown. Cool

Yesterday was a great day. I visited with a few board members, picked up a few items and the presentation was well received. Several commented that it was the real highlight of the weekend. Attendance was about 50-60. Folks stayed around until 7:15pm asking questions and talking fishing. That was fun! Cool Two of the guys followed me to dinner. Nice BBQ dinner offered for free.

As mentioned previously, I will present this show again in Ely on June 10-11. For more information, (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links);  Cool
All of the action will be at Semers beach on Shagawa lake. I am presenting at noon on Saturday and again at 2:00pm on Sunday. If you will be in the Ely area on the second weekend of June, let's get together for coffee.

Post here if you'll be around. Cool
