Thoroughly enjoyed reading your report. Great fishing action reports and your photos are wonderful. Impressed with your shots of the great gray owl (and your luck in seeing it). Your sunset pics--spectacular. Wow! to all your wildlife sightings especially the wolverine. Thanks for posting such a great report.

Great report. Enjoyed all the wildlife sightings. Good idea, freezing the eggs in the Nalgene. Never thought of that.

Nice report. The description of the landscape does sound quite familiar. I guess it should since we were in the park at the same time. But you obviously got more rain ... I kept noticing system after system passing south of us during our trip. I only put on rain gear once ... in camp for about 10 minutes when it was just spitting enough to get me damp.
We got 14 days to play around in the extreme NW of the park and because of the portage conditions, we didn't make a fully loaded portage during that entire time. I did make day-trip portages into Artery and Musclow to check out pictographs. Both Artery ports were a mess...each took an hour to traverse and the longest would be about 30 rods. Musclow had been cleared by a local lodge operator, otherwise it would have been impassable.
I guess the good news for us was that, being on the Bloodvein River system, we had over 30 miles of connected water (and many side channels) to explore without a portage. Unfortunately, the lodge motor boats could reach most of it too.
Like you, the weather was outstanding and fishing excellent...but after a while getting pulled around the lake in a solo canoe by a 40+ inch pike can get a little "annoying".
