Dustin March 9, 2010 at 6:23 pm Reply Gord, Great pictures! Because I can't make it up this year, it will have to be 2011. But, in 2011, I will make that trip for the day…at least once! dk
charles W. Weiss March 9, 2010 at 6:54 pm Reply I like the idea of visiting Caribou Lake!Perhaps this year? The bass and pike fishing were exceptional the one time I fished it.
Professor March 9, 2010 at 10:31 pm Reply Thank you for preparing Caribou for my 2010 expedition. Andy and I intended to go last June, but we got scared after several days of hard rain. We were warned that the portage trails turned into rivers of mud waist deep. That won't stop us this year as we are bring chest waders along. Andy always says, "it's better to be clean and dry instead of muddy and wet." That kind of logic is difficult to argue against.
Gord March 10, 2010 at 12:03 am Reply A pair of water proof boots is always a good idea…….especially spring and fall. Alternately, very long legs, or swinging through the forest on a vine works very well too.
Gord March 10, 2010 at 12:06 am Reply Hey Dustin…I'm holding you to your promise of a 2011 trip to Caribou Lake. You may decide that one day just isn't enough……and besides if old geezers such as Andy and Joe can haul their carcasses back there, someone spry and youthful should have no problem!
Perchmaster March 10, 2010 at 12:48 am Reply DustinYou don't know what your getting yourself into…. Plan on bringing a sleeping bag you might need it.You are being set up if you did not figure it out yet…. Nice post Gord and that motor better be a new model and ready to go on the boat when we get there after last year finding a new spot for those hog walleyes we will be getting there probably twice…O CRAP did I say new spot for those walleye on McGregor, I never did tell you about that new spot Gord guess I might have to fill you in over a nice cold Canadian brew…..Cat is out of the bag now, will keep you thinking till I get there….. HAHAHA!!!!
Dustin March 10, 2010 at 2:18 am Reply "Bring a sleeping bag…" Even better! I see a hike in, fish, camp, bulls**t around the fire, sleep, fish, hike out! My kind of trip!
Andy Lewis March 10, 2010 at 2:24 am Reply Now that the professor is off the sauce we should be able to do this trip this year? Those tracks have me baffled. I have to believe that the warmer sun enlarged the tracks of what might have been something like a dog,coyote,wolf. What's your guess gord? Andy
NewMexicam March 10, 2010 at 3:20 am Reply I've seen those tracks before. They were made by my brother hopping to town in his sleeping bag to get more beer.
Gord March 10, 2010 at 1:42 pm Reply Bill could be right! Might also be a smallmouth flopping across the snow?
