BWCA

Some pics from previous trips there.

Some info on the BWCA.

I have had a lot of luck in previous years catching smallies, but very little with northerns and walleye. If it helps I promise not to venture over to the canajun side. (no permit)

Don't know much about fishing.... or BWCA, but those pictures are nice, especially the one with the canoes. As for wildlife, they'll avoid you. Unless you're that one in a million guy with bad luck!

I'm leaving thursday before dawn and will be back next tuesday with a lot more pictures, and probably with a couple videos as well. Hopefully of some meese or is it mooses? :wink:

You'll post them here, yes?

Of course.

I'll put the pics on this thread, and the videos might end up on yours.

Great!

I was lucky enough to get this shot last year, we were fishing the shore and as I cast I hear a loud flapping sound. No more than five feet from me an eagle takes off from a tree. I follow its progress and scrambled for my camera.

This is the original:


This is the zoom version:

I just noticed your sig line. Love it.

Better than the one I took of a local baldie.

Thanks Edgar.


At the lodge area there were turkey vultures circling overhead, at least that is what a local said they were.

Looks like turkey buzzards to me.

I had thought that they were the same thing.

Heading out, stories and pics when I get back next week.

Bon voyage...

Oooh, jealous!

BWCA is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Not much to add I don't think. Take lots of bug spray.

Well I'm back and finally have some time to relax.


We started off here.



They took our canoes and gear on a johnboat and dropped us off at a portage about 20 miles in. We packed our canoes and set off for Carp Lake which was about 14 miles in with a tough portage somewhere in between.

About three hours later we set up camp and made dinner (steak and potatoes). Unfortunately not all of our meals were this good its hard to keep good food fresh when you are in the wilderness for four days.



I'm not going to give and hour by hour synapsis of the trip but I did a lot of this...



over a lot of these...




caught a couple fish...





and just enjoyed the scenery.



The BWCA is home to some of the oldest exposed rock on earth, the diagonal scratches were caused by glaciers.
