First solo. Temperance Lake 2009

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

Love that lake for it being like Top of the World where it is in the watershed,just can't catch anything out of it tho,winter or summer.

Was there once April 1 one year winter fishing and did have 6 adult wolves run by us on the ice. I seen them come out of a draw onto the ice. It was a moment I will always cherish.

Hey Joe, how did that paddle do for you? I picked one up just like it. I wanted to get a wood paddle so I could filet dinner on it. Just wondering how it held up for you.

It worked really well as a bow paddle since it has such a wide south end (so to speak!). It will probably be my extra paddle now since both Grandpa and I got two wooden beavertails.
