My guess as to the location of today's POD would be next to a campsite on an island in Veron Lake. 

Overhanging trees much like today's surely exist in many dozens of locations but, or some reason, this one reminded of the tree at the edge of the Veron Lake campsite.  I also chased a moose across the lake very near there when returning from a day trip down to Delahey with MagicPaddler.  Furthermore, I remember cramming a note into the over-stuffed "Olive Jar" down on nearby Delahey Lake. 

Funny how one pic can rev up a hundred memories... and it's probably not even the tree I'm thinking of.

Regardless, I find myself wondering if that Olive Jar survived the big fire. I hope the moose and that campsite did, too.  That region got roasted.

Oh, well.  Nice series of PODs, wherever there were taken!

Today's POD = an interesting technique for keeping favorite lures handy.

I suspect that all of those dangling trebles would raise havoc in my canoe, however.  I can easily envision clothes, flopping fish, fish nets, skin and just about everything else in my vessel getting caught up in them sooner rather than later.

Any Star Trek fan among us will clearly appreciate this age-old problem, you know... "the trouble with trebles."

Yep, Fridays have been a notoriously slow day on QJ for decades.  Best day of the week to get away with a crack like that one.  Later....

I hate treble hooks. I've replaced all of mine with single hooks. No front hooks at all, just belly and tail.

I rarely have multiple lures out like that but when I do, I put them in a flat plastic tub with snap-on lid that fits in canoe seat bag. Single hooks don't tangle like trebles do.

They say the hook-up rate is a little less with single hooks but it's better for the fish you release.

Also better for the fisherman who gets one of them embedded in him/her.  Wink Cry Grin

I guess this is just asking for big treble then.

Doubtful.  Getting to Veron would be way too much work for Mike. Grin

  Today's POD makes me think back to when I used to split wood that way.

  I learned here there was a better/safer way.

  Thanks QJ  Wink

Personally I never have seen the point of cutting or splitting wood when camping. I carry a saw for trail trouble- can't imagine spending the time sawing wood for a fire. Just bust it on a sharp rock and move on.
