Good report! You are braving than I am...that ice is something else. Cool to see the pic of the fish and I'm also curious what kind they were. Glad your trip went well. Thanks for sharing!

Fabulous report and thanks for sharing.
"Sam quickly pointed out that either all ice or no ice was better than the messy mix and he got his wish on a long smooth crossing of the second half of Jitterbug. At this point I was kicking myself for not bringing ice skates while wondering if tying small rocks to my boots would result in traction."
Watching from Duluth, I'm starting to wonder whether this might be another rare winter with amazing ice conditions in the BWCA.
Pretty sure I see at least one Penobscot in the photos. What's the other one?

The fish look to be Whitefish or Tullibee, which spawn around this time in the fall.

Thank you for the fun and interesting trip report! I really can't imagine doing that, even in my prime, but your descriptions and photos gave me some idea what canoeing in November would be like up there. I'm glad you made it out safely and that you were kind enough to share your adventure! Thanks -
Dave

great write up. The pic of the guy standing on the ice/out of the canoe without a lifejacket gave me chills. If there was ever a situation that called for wearing a life jacket, I think that'd be it. cool pics and story tho
