Hi folks, Well, provided the snow fall is appropriate my brother and I will tackle the Miss in June. We will jump on the train in Sudbury blah, blah, blah. My issue is getting the permits. I don't want to start on Missainabi Lake because of the terrifying pictographs but it seems I might...

It's true. My discovery of this has been almost glacial in it's arrival, but it is a gift with many surprises. This is relating to my swing through Canada and Alaska last summer. It wasn't a solo canoe trip, but it was many miles spent in delightful isolation, this being due to the fact the...

Hello all, Assuming proper water levels will do this in June. Question on permits. I am jumping on the train is Sudbury and paddling the entire thing. Looking at the Parks website it doesn't reference fees for canoeing the entire river. If I jump on by the railroad which permits do I get...

Hello all, I might put my road trip plans to Newfoundland on hold for a year or so. Since that is a driving trip I can probably do this in the future, and I'm still feeling pretty good so I was thinking about doing a solo canoe trip. The Fon Du Lac has been on the fringe of my radar for...

Hello, Does anyone have any recent intel? Thinking about heading up to High Falls. Thank you.

Hello folks, Trip is getting fleshed out. Leave Rochester NY, drive around to Toronto for fun and then head straight up to Hwy 389, then over to 500 and down to 510. All seems pretty straightforward. I have been fascinated with Newfoundland forever and want to make sure I cover "The Rock"...

Hi folks, Not really canoe related so I hope this is cool. I am planning another loop into Canada, this time to the east. Cutting this off at a month - 6 weeks is a long time to live in a mini-van. I am interested in the scenic and if possible fishing opportunities along this stretch. From...

For the sake of this email, I would like to consider all Alaskan’s and Canadian’s as one people - everything equally applies to both parties. From that perspective I would like to say that everyone I met on my tour was extremely friendly and very helpful. I mean exceedingly so. In Yellowknife 3...

On my recent trip to the Thelon I wanted to check out some gear I had wondered about. Huge Eureka dry bag - too big for me and the thing had some leaks. I wasn't alone with the leaks and I get these are used commercially, but there were not that many miles on this pack. Peregrine...

I have purchased Mountain House meals forever. They are fine, but just in case I need a little shot of life I'll throw some sauce in there. I save the packets from Taco Bell and bring them along. Been eating the exact same 5 meals for years. Now, going on a longer trip with my brothers I...

Hello all, I am really shooting to get to Wabakimi for a month next summer. Did the west part last time - want to go north and west this time. Any intel on Dawn or Webster lakes to fly in and paddle back? I loved that Beaver. I have not been in one, but that upholstery looked like what...

Pretty strange and completely unexpected. While getting ready for Wabakimi I read some threads on the BWCA site with WCPP and Wabakimi threads. Several posters maintained that going to Wabakimi ruined the BWCA for them. I made note of these posts and thought about them while on the trip...

Hello all, I want to thank everyone for their input on fishing Wabakimi. Several people had specific recommendations, and mem pointed out they try to keep from catching them. Anyway, I got to see pike slashing at my lure while it was only halfway in the water. Walleye below just about every...

Hello folks, I am purchasing my license and want to make sure I am on the ride side of the constabulary. I understand I need the Outdoors Card and a license. Site states it is laminated card, obtained first. Do I need to do this online or can I just drive up to Thunder Bay and purchase my...

Good morning, Getting ready to meet in Thunder Bay for the Wabakimi trip. We will have some time before and after the trip to organize. I hate organizing gear in hotel rooms, so is there a local campground that would fit the bill? Otherwise, any cool bars, restaurants, or sites that are a...

Hello folks, I have to haul 2 canoes to Wabakimi in a month. I am taking a Nissan Frontier crew cab with a 5' bed. The truck has a cap and I have a Thule rack with max bar widths of 60". Both bars being on the 5' cap leaves a small distance between them to secure the canoe. I have another...

Good morning everyone, I am looking to do the entire Miss with my brothers this spring. I know its a guess, but with the lack of snow this winter do you think it would be a paddle or a drag? Checking on myccr as well. Thank you.

Hello all, Looking at pic's of the Thelon, I am curious - do kettle ponds generally contain fish? I envision casting while walking the shorelines. Made way to many casts over the years to ponds that had no fish due to acid rain and such. Trying to keep that to a minimum. Thank you!

Hello, No luck searching so I think I have my answer, but are there any rock climbing/bouldering opportunities in this area? Thank you.

I have searched the site and done some googling but cannot find the information. It doesn't even matter really. What I am curious about are the river water temps up over 60th? Not actual temps, but a description, bathwater, ice water, etc. Seems the air temp averages 55 F or so - that makes...
