karola	01/25/2012 07:28AM Pinetree, I use an eskimo quickfish pop up shelter. They are lightweight and set up very fast. Also, when the shelter is in the bag it can be carried on your back.
PINETREE	01/24/2012 10:13PM Good luck northern pike spearing. Did a lot for about a year in the BWCA a few years back. Curious,what are you using for you fish shelter while spearing?
catfish72	01/24/2012 10:12PM How did it go? How does one get into Big Moose in the winter?" There is a winter trail off of FR464 heading south. It should be marked. I do not know if it has a name or not. I have never been but I have driven by it. I hope this helped.
karola	01/24/2012 08:59PM Taking off thursday afternoon for a 3 night trip to secret lake. Planning on spearing some big pike...hopefully! Pictures to follow

How did it go? How does one get into Big Moose in the winter?
spunduckeywoo	01/24/2012 12:06PM woot woot! same weekend here, maybe see ya up there, should be 5 of us..
catfish72	01/08/2012 11:55PM quote PINETREE: "How do you like your sled setup?" I love it! Its about 8.5 feet or so and pulls like a dream. made it my self. heres a few more picks.
PINETREE	01/07/2012 07:27AM How do you like your sled setup?
catfish72	01/07/2012 12:02AM I was up in the bwca dec 18- 22 went into wood lake. caught a good number of pike and a few walleyes and perch and a monster small mouth.It was not my first choice in lakes but conditions were tricky.Anyway my next trip may be in late Jan for a few days. Then I am planing a trip in march for a week. I have not planned my routes yet. I am waiting to see about snow condtions and to see if I will be solo. I hope you all have great trips!!
t43eagle	01/05/2012 12:48AM Border Route Trail in late January - 1st snowshoe trip ever with DIY Pulks we just made. Looking for tips on trout fishing, have never done it through the ice.
motdur	12/31/2011 12:02PM quote fitgers1: "How are you all getting in? Dog sled, XC ski or snow shoe?" Snow shoe.
walllee	12/30/2011 03:51PM Plan on heading into Big Moose lake in early January,took some great photos there in Sept.,and want to get the same shots in the winter.also,I want to catch some of the walleyes that I released in the fall.
jwartman59	12/29/2011 11:44PM my daughter wants to go up to the bwca next week. i'm up for it. but i am thinking that a trip in the south dakota badlands might work better with the goofy winter we have been having. that is the extent of my plans so far.
TuscaroraBorealis	12/29/2011 05:50PM quote fitgers1: "How are you all getting in? Dog sled, XC ski or snow shoe?" The original plan was snowshoeing, but if the conditions are anything like they are here in central Minnesota we might take ice skates?! ;-}
PINETREE	10/04/2011 08:55PM ski and plastic sled setup I have used for 20 years.

PINETREE	10/04/2011 08:11PM Was on West Pike 1st week of February once. I could not keep the burbot or eel pout off they would not quit biting,very good eating out of there.

PINETREE	10/02/2011 08:32AM Clearwater going to be busy. Probably in March overnight,plan to daytrip earlier in that area(just stack a pile of wood for me and leave the fire on). Also hope to snowshoe areas of burn if I can get down the Tomahawk trail in the winter. Use to do a lot of january camping and still plan maybe one trip this year during that time,problem is the nights are long than.

chaseMX41	09/30/2011 11:53PM Planning for President's Day weekend with no destination yet. This will be my first time winter camping.

OBX2Kayak	09/29/2011 07:20PM Anybody have BWCA plans for this winter? Let's hear 'em. Unfortunately it appears as if I'll be headed to Georgia's coastal islands instead.
