Nice TR jerry, never too late to post a TR!!!

Fishing Siskiwit... First go to the cabin near the dock. On the wall is a hydro map of the lake. I assume you will have the TI/NG map of IR (#240). I make notes of the map on the topo. August is an interesting time, the later in August the better as Fall feeding may have begun. Fish the dropoffs ear...

If you start out Chippewa, there is a little bay on the arm that goes towards the Whittlesley portage that is good for Northern. Whittlesley, good walleye fishing around the islands and fish the shore for northerns in the AM and PM. Wood lake is a great place to spend a day or two fishing. The neck ...

Is there some advice from paddlers in regard to a solo trip as opposed to tandem trips which I have done multiple times. I am not the t...

Don't mean to make anyone angry. No I do not work for the company.Human waste management in the wild is a growing concern. One of the problems is that most people do not want to discuss the issue. It is not something people talk about around the water cooler. In fact human waste management has reac...

My alltime favorite lunch:
PB an J on Sourdough bread, goldfish, sport drink, and a "fun" size Snickers.

Though not related to Isle Royale, thought some might want to know the search by Cornell University for the Ivory Billed Woodpecker has ended. Similar to the Pileated on IR, the Ivory Bill was thought to have been seen in AR and FL in recent years and thought to be in LA. Sad to read this. http://ne...
