01/27/2021 10:17PM I got my permit today for EP 37, Kawishiwi Lake on June 21. Only 3 of the 9 permits for that day and EP are remaining after my reservation. I haven't decided to where to head. Last year we paddled up to Malberg and base camped at a nice site for three nights before heading back down to Polly for one night, and the last night on Kawishiwi. |

01/27/2021 06:33AM For the first time in over 20 years I won't be locking in a permit on opening day. Feels weird. Hopefully work will allow me to go on vacation this year and if so then I'll look to see what is available. |

01/25/2021 10:38AMJackfish: "Quetico (you DID say hoping)." +1. That got a laugh out of me! My fall back option will be to meander up to LLC and lakes nearby a couple of times. I'd like to at least look into Quetico even if I can't get in there this season. Tiger Bay will be packed again this year, I'm guessing. |

01/25/2021 07:48AM Hoping to make it into Quetico this year. If the border is still closed, maybe a week in the Lac La Croix area exploring on the U.S. side. |

01/24/2021 11:40PM Early June - Undecided, taking "the teenagers" and a couple of their friends in Mid-September - Undecided, trip with a couple of friends. Since it looks like its going to be another busy year and I'm 100% flexible on where I go and what day, I think I'm going to employ the same tactic I did last year. I just waited to see what areas and days had fewer permits pulled and then used that as my entry point and went from there. We went in as far as possible on the first day. Both trips last year we did not run into a lot of people so hoping that works again this year. I may be proved a fool. :-) |

01/24/2021 07:37PM Late May trip through Cross Bay Lake entry to an area I have never been. Planning six days and hoping to catch a lake trout, something I have never done. Then another longer trip, eight or nine days to an area yet to be determined, although I am leaning towards entering at Kawishiwi Lake and heading up to Malberg and the areas SW and north of there. Sometime between mid August and mid September. We are very flexible so don't need to book that permit yet. Maybe a third trip back to Astrid Lake, outside the BWCA, but every bit as remote and cool, if I can find a willing accomplice. Going to retire this year at some point, these are just the pre-retirement plans. :) |

01/24/2021 07:18PM Going for the 1st time ever in mid July. Doing the Lady Chain from Kawishiwi to Sawbill with a side trip to Mahlberg and maybe to see to pictographs on Fishdance if we have the time and energy. |
