My daughter and I just returned from a 7 day trip to Darky and Brent. Be prepared to do some high stepping over downed trees on all the portages. The havoc we encountered most likely was caused by the heavy late snow. We did what we could with our small camp saw. Definitely will require clean up by the portage crews. Fishing report to follow (Quetico all fished out).

Thanks for the heads up. Will be heading out that way in about a week and a half. Hope the fish start biting by then!

Damn... I've been saying it for years, but now others are saying it too. Might have to stay home this year. ;-)


It's only a spot on the map... until you go there.

Hmmm....Quetico all fished out. Guess I'll have to cancell my Quetico trip that starts next week. Sounds like it might be better to just sit in front of the TV and watch those fishing vidoes instead!! :)

I hate fishing and despise easy portages, so I'm going in this weekend. If I see so much as one miserable fish, I'll be really p#ssed.

Problem with going to Quetico you can dislocate your shoulder catching so many fish.

Me either. I'm never going back there... (until this Saturday). :)

Well, I doubt you'll be p#ssed. The entire place is fished out. And just to be sure my facts are right, we're going in on Saturday to find out. :)

I do take great comfort in the fact that you'll be in a day before us, Pete. If there are 1 or 2 fish left, I know you'll get 'em and spare me the outrage!

Have a great trip, and maybe we'll bump into you somewhere around in that desolate wasteland! (Heidi and I will be tagging along with the Beaglefur clan).
