Fishing.Com Boundary Waters Trip......

[Col Forbin]

I would love to do it, but wish the plans were for a week later. I am usually still teaching the last week of may - and if it is a crappy winter sometimes that extends a week or so. George and I have talked about it before, and it is something I would love to do. I have most of the gear I need - so once you all get set on a date let me know, and I will see if I can do it.

I'd at least consider it. That's a bit longer of a trip than I think I could swing.

It is DEFINITELY a rugged trip......the CHEAP trip I'm talking about is a Canoe/Camping trip. Basically you're IN IT. There are other trips that are also available, but those go up in cost quite a bit....

I figure I will start seriously trying to put something together around november for next May or June.

We can work out the dates and length......I usually take Thurs and Friday before off, but we could leave on a Friday night after work drive all day sat and put in on sunday.....pull off on friday be home Late saturday. All kinds of options. I don't want someone to go just because of length of the trip, etc, etc.

Onemorecast, probably not the Ely area. The BWCA seems to be less crowded on the EAST end........AND I have some great areas over there to help people find fish. I've not done a BWCA trip through Ely..but I have done a TON of Quetico trips through Ely.

I'd LOVE to get a bunch of guys from the board up there.........COL, Know, MHall, Tim_T, APB.....

ANYONE is welcome.........the only thing is it would be limited to 8......

Later,

One other thing.............

You can go in the Spring or the Fall. I've had pretty decent fishing in the fall, but nothing like in the spring. In the Fall, I've never had a 100 fish day, but we have had 50-60 fish days.

Spring, you risk lots of rains and bugs.....tradeoff 100+ fish a day........

Fall....WAY BETTER WEATHER.......no bug.......tradeoff 20-50 fish a day, with 60-70 being a FANTASTIC DAY.........and rare.

I've been both times of the year...........my trips usually go something like this. 1 trip EVERY year, and an additional fall trip every other year.

Next year will be a year I can do a spring and fall trip......and I might do both. Actually my daughter graduates next year from HS, so the spring trip might be a little later, or it might end up being a fall trip.

I had to cancel going with my daughter this year just for that reason. She's an honor student, and could not be out for a week, otherwise I would have taken her anyways.

She has been on the past 5 trips with me, and LOVES going.

This years trip will be the first "robo" fishing trip I've done in 5 years. With my daughter, we usually fish 5-6 hours a day max. With the "guys" it is nothing to cover 10-15 miles a day and fish 12-16 hrs......SUN up/SUN DOWN.

Man, I CANNOT wait.
