OK....So I was starting to hear the crickets chirp again. 

Have we all ran out of anything to say or argue about?

Probably so, but it is an effective tactic to misplace it here IF what he was REALLY fishing for was to trigger a response.

Just look...he's caught TWO already!

At the risk of veering off into the weeds even farther, the subject line was a Tip of the Hat to Pat McManus.  I believe the title was The Care and Feeding of Old Men.  Where some young upstart would toss out a comment sure to be challenged.

Fish number three:  If it's just conversation, there's plenty activity in BTC...back to the cathole...er, civilization.  It has gone rather quite.  Been busy packing gear and food, plus finishing a new solo removable portage yoke.  That has turned out quite well. Ended up using some cam levers vs. the so common star knobs...one flick and it's locked onto the gunnel. Also plenty of checking maps of the BW, since I have little experience there.  June 14-25 with a plan to hit Mugwump PMA.  Trying to come up with a plan for July-August as well.  Hoping the Q is open by then, but need a BW alternative...thinking NW, Crooked and beyond.

Regarding better fishing - it is for me, since my first trip was in '99.  It's probably just that I'm better at fishing.  Plus I go more often, which is definitely better! Also easier to feed old men when you can actually catch the fish....just sayin'.

BTW, thanks for stirring the pot MB.

PD,  Glad you have a plan.   Wish I did.    I/we would be interested in your solo yoke.  I have ginned up a couple, but still not completely happy with them.

MB,

PM me an email address and I'll send you some pics  - since I have not invested time in figuring out posting them here.  I paddled last night and gave the new yoke a test on the ~80 rod portage from parking lot to put-in and it was rock solid.

This has nothing to do with this post.   I have always assumed that Portage Dog was from the state of Virginia, but it occurred to me that you might be from Virginia, MN.  Will you please put an end to my confusion?  You can, of course, say it is none of my business.

Hey PD, what's on the menu for you and Lawrence.  Any special desserts? He might actually gain weight on a trip with you.   Grin
