As much as I can. I had to cancel a trip last summer because of work. There were some really bumbed out kids because of it.
This year I plan on taking a group of 6 kids into BWCA. They are holding me to it this year and it should work just fine as my work schedule is pretty clear this summer.
How bout you Mark? get in there much?

Never have, dad used to go there a lot when he was younger but I've never been. A fella I used to work with has a motel in Ely and another bud goes up there every year with his kids but poor me has never been.
It's on my list though...grin

if you could swing it i could put you on some good pike fishing anytime now, from now till the ice goes to hell it should be pretty good.

As far as BWCA, you've see lots of beautiful country. It's just neat to have something as pretty as the BWCA right here in MN that's all.

Also how far is Roseau from LOTW, gotta be close right?

Bout 20 miles. Ice out is fun as the northerns are coming back into the lake & they are hungry. But they are also beat to hell & skinny like an empty tube sock.

I look at all these "snot rockets" and I start having flashbacks of taking out Y-bones. ddj

oh that one isn't at the taxidermist yet huh? Dober, my fav way to take the Y bones out is to pluck em after the fish is cooked I really never understood what the big deal was with them. If you use your fork to split a fillet at the mid point between the top of the back & the belly you expose all the Y bone ends & you simply grab them & pull em out. You can grab many at a time & strip that fillet of it's bones in a matter of seconds.
