Thanks to all that added to the success. A correction: I mentioned that one of the Copia speakers stated Manitoba had put new restrictions barring passengers on planes with canoes tied on. Bluewater Aviation informed me they have heard nothing of such a new rule.

Our meeting room was kind of a microcosm of Copia itself. On Saturday evening, there were at least three discussion groups happening simultaneously. Marten had a group discussing WCPP and Atikaki. We had another group discussing Alaska rivers and lakes, and Wally 13 teaching the slow death rig. You could participate in whatever conversation, or move from group to group. It was an awesome evening.

I couldn’t tell you how many canoe trips got planned over the weekend, but several did. Thanks to all who pitched in and helped. A little surprising that H & D was having visions of pink birds over the weekend, probably need to watch for symptoms of “too much fun syndrome.”

I would like to thank Old Scout as well and Mule Lars for the awesome BBQ. 

It was a fun time and I have some pics of sat. evening on my phone but can't seem to figure how to post on here.  I can text them to someone with knowledge.  Send a PM with # if interested.

I expect either Old Scout or Old Slat should have the answer to that question, Tom T.  If neither of them know, you could always ask Old Salt, I suppose.  All three of those "Old" guys are top notch when it comes to identifying angling accessories.  They've been around a while....

I checked with Old Slats and Old Scout, and none of us can remember. We were likely involved with the Alaska discussion group at the time. There are several who make this bait. We advise sticking with known products, Gulp, big bite, kalins, chompers, and the like.

It can be a little tricky living with my selves. When my wife calls, ‘Rich’ we sometimes trip over our selves running to her.
