Great report!


Sounds like you made the best of some trying conditions but,sometimes, that's half the fun. It was neat to hear about Wench Lake too. I was up there this spring. (Although, I just hiked up w/o the canoe.) That area (the big rock slide, Wench etc.) is so cool. Enjoyed your photos as well, you took some very good ones.


Thanks for taking the time to share your story & photos.

Thanks for the report, and happy to hear that you finally caught the fish you needed for a good meal.

Nice trip report, thanks for sharing. I stayed on North Temperance a few years ago and the area is very nice.

Excellent report. Thanks for sharing. I am thinking of taking a group into the same area in late June or mid-late August. Sounds like a busy area.

Find a Listening Point and visit often. Develop a Land Ethic and strive to live it.

We day tripped from Brule Lake to South Temperance one day.. A LOT of traffic.... Had to share a rock with another group just to do lunch. Better have a plan B if you want one of those 3 campsites...

Finally got around to reading your report. Nice write up of our adventure.


Only 6 LONG months to go until the next one.

Naturboy12.


I was able (I believe) to put the PowerPoint presentation of our 2014 trip on this site.


Enjoy.

Nice trip report, well written. My favorite part of any trip is fishing with the kids.
