I did see some sheep by the river. The river ride in. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1183.photobucket.com/albums/x477/bpd1982/Idaho%202013/DSCN0018_zps9df291cb.jpg) this picture makes it look like one hell of a pontoon.

That is really close to where I hunted elk this year. I was north of McCall and SE of Riggins. My legs hurt just looking at those pictures, cuz I know how it works! Beautiful for sure. We saw wolves, but no bears (I could have shot either).

Seeing quite a few road kills around here too, Rooster. Too bad about the truck but at least you're ok and trucks can be repaired. Very true Bill. Thanks

What these jet boats look like. That would be a blast. The whole trip looks like it would be a lot of fun!

So Dave, Are you getting ready for the fishing opener? How much ice have you guys got up there yet? I went by our local lakes yesterday and they were ice free. I'm guessing the 'Cities lakes will be a little crowded this year if no one can get out north of town.

Who's getting snow today? I heard parts of MN got 9"so far. Nothing here in central WI. West and NW WI are getting dumped on.
Going to be a rain event for us.

I'm really not a fishing opener guy. It's a circus for one thing, rookies at the boat ramps, and even boat ramp veterans can have a bad time on that first trip due to unexpected mechanical troubles or forgotten items or just due to being 6 or 7 months removed from the whole thing. Then there's the weather.... almost guaranteed to be miserable. I gladly sit it out.

I am with you Dave....I get all sorts of weird looks from the people who know I love to fish when I tell them I may not get out on opener (mostly coworkers in the Twin Cities). I tell them, I live in lake country, I can fish on Tuesday night!
Garage sale weekend here. I have about 110 muskie lures to sell, I hope they go well. And then a purge of junk. I smile every time someone walks away with something.

I think I've only fished on MN opener...it was 1999. I was leaving for WI to live a few weeks later, so I figured I better at least do one opener. A group of guys from work went up to Kab to camp in Voyagers Nat. Park and fish. We didn't do well on the fish. On the WI openers, I always went to the WI river because I had it to myself, since the lakes were open.  At that point, I'd been fishing the river for about a month anyway so I had a few spots sniffed out.
Camp is where you make it.

By the way, I just noticed that this thread has over 40 million views. 40 million. That is kinda a big number, eh? Just think if Dave could collect a measly dime per view!

It was all gone when I got home.
