I remember that dam from my Quetico trip a couple years ago. We had lunch at the end of the portage, IIRC.

sorry it is spyderline by new england ropes.

An excellent line I have found is spyderwire. It has a dyneema core with a polyester sheath. Designed for sailing rigging, so knots work great in many weather conditions. 1.8mm. 100ft spool is about $20 at westmarine.

I always put notes in my annual outdoor planning calendar with celestial events. I try to plan trips around them.

Nothing to add as it has already been said. I echo the sentiments to both.

I have a friend who uses a 100 degree rule. As long as the sum of the water temp and air temp exceeds 100, he is good to go. Me, I use the liquid water rule. That gets stretched to the limits sometimes.

I try to plan many of my trips around celestial events. Meteor showers are at the top of the list. Makes for a good excuse to go to the woods. The Orionids are not as well known as some of the other shows, but can still be impressive. Fun laying out under the stars and staring skyward. Besides...

Welcome from the western side of the state, tho I spend much of my time up in the north woods. See you on the trail.

A shore lunch makes for a great way to relax, eat and sometimes dry out ones feet. I know you like your walleye fillets fried straight up. We powder ours with a touch of bisquick. Agree that one doesn't want to take away from the flavor of the fish.

Welcome Bard. I am also in WNY.

A little more than 2 feet in Rochester, NY area.

Sourdough uses natural yeast which isnt as prolific as the fast acting. It takes longer to multiply, and ingest. The fermentation process gives the sourdough the great flavor. Using a whole packet of fast acting in a small recipe also aids in speeding things up but loses out on the flavor from...
