	Quote: BTW: In addition to treating external clothing (including hat, socks and bandana) with permethrin (military soak), I swap out my daily supplement of fish oil with flaxseed oil. I treated my DRY-Fly and the tent the last couple of years in addition to ANY clothes I might wear depending on weather conditions. It DOES make a difference. My Permethin soaked DO-RAG is just a bandana on steroids. That nugget about swapping flaxseed oil for fish oil makes a lot of Common sense too. Thanks for that dd.

	DentonDoc suggested that I replace my daily Fish Oil supplement with Flaxseed Oil a month before my canoe trips to help ward off mosquitos. Well I have to say that Flaxseed Oil seems to do the job!

Well I have to say that Flaxseed Oil seems to do the job! This suggestion was field tested before I jumped on board. My daughter and son-in-law own a swimming pool service, and early on they were getting eaten alive by mosquitos from standing water near pools they worked. After adding flaxseed oil to their daily supplements, bites reduced to hear zero. I was sold after my first trip, over 5 years ago and haven't looked back. dd

	How much flaxseed oil do you take? We tried this once and I didn't notice any helpful effect, so I am thinking maybe we didn't take enough? or maybe it doesn't work for everyone.

I’ll check and post an update if it’s other than that when I get home. I start taking it at least a month prior to my trip. dd

	Looks like you guys are fishing that moving water? I highlight my maps to show anyplace a stream/creek empties in a lake, even if it's just in the spring. I always make a few casts in that white water and I'm rarely disappointed.

	ST, I think this was one of the Opasquia pics, otherwise I might have said it looked like good water for smallmouth bass. In any case, you're never far away from walleyes up there unless you happen to be on a body of water that is overrun with hammer-handles. I ran into that issue on one lake. While DentonDoc & MagicPaddler were trying to make like Lewis & Clark and locate a "rumored" portage, I stayed closer to camp & fished. During the 3-4 hours they were gone, I probably caught 40 fish... and 39 of them were small to mid-sized pike. LOTS of great looking water up there. Even with a full 2 weeks, there were so many lakes and so little time. "So many lakes"... yet fully HALF of the ones we visited had the name, "East Lake"! I'll never figure that one out.... Jimbo

Couldn't be easier and it makes eating those smaller NP much easier than trying to clean them the conventional way. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) /

I think leaving the head on gives you a better place to hold when you flip it. When the top eye is bulging out, I think it's time to turn it. When a knife easily pierces you know it's done.
