Frank said they will not be issuing permits this year." Thanks for the heads up on this.
pitster	01/27/2021 08:37PM Hmm I guess I'm not banned....cool! I watched the Prairie Portage permits and I counted 6 minutes for every permit to be gone from the opener to at least the week of July 4th, and I venture to say past that. It's evident that many more people were prepared to reserve them on their PCs at 9 am today.
VoyageurNorth	01/27/2021 08:23PM ThreeRivers: "The site is hung up for me, wont even log me in once I select my date, my first date for LIS, all 8 permits already gone. Guess I just gotta keep tryin." What day were you trying to get a permit for #14 for? Must have been a busy "start" day; we reserved a lot of #14 permits with no problem.
boonie	01/27/2021 03:37PM Reserved my permit without a problem, but still don't know the process for getting it virtually. Anyone know anything more about that?
AmarilloJim	01/27/2021 02:40PM For some reason I couldn't get logged on. It was a 45 min process to get my permit by phone.
DrizzyDrew	01/27/2021 12:33PM Site worked fine for me as well which was good to see. Unfortunately someone snagged my EP 19 date (June 13th) before I could get it so I had to settle for the next day. Pretty impressed with whoever it was because I was on at 9:01 hahaha.
scotttimm	01/27/2021 11:53AM Got my two permits easily, and an email from the outfitter taking care of my third. Did double back to check - my date for EP 16 is sold out, Lake Vermillion down to 1 permit left, and Duncan down to 1 permit. So I think folks are hopping on quickly this year for those of us who need to plan carefully in advance.
Marley	01/27/2021 11:16AM Does anyone know if you can book 2 motorized day permits for the same entry point and the same week? We plan on being in the Ely area for a week in September and wanted to do 2 motorized day trips from the Fall Lake entry. I did get the 2 permits but wonder if one of them will get canceled.
HighnDry	01/27/2021 10:36AM I had an easy time once I reset my password a couple of times. I'm not sure what was going on with that :) Probably my bad typing skills!

If you find the Lake Trout, pleeez share the info with me, I have never caught one!! Have a great trip." We are heading up on Saturday, also. We will stay at Tuscorora bunkhouse the night before. Sorry, but I am a bad fisherman. Like comically bad. If I caught a lake trout it would certainly be accidental. Mike
schweady	01/27/2021 10:21AM No problems with the site here as well. Just a couple of items of note as reminders: - Have your Senior Pass number handy. Even though mine is entered in my recreation.gov profile, I still had to enter it again. Also, if you know the card numbers for all of your crew members holding passes, there is a place to enter those, too. - Have the email addresses handy for anyone you plan to enter as an alternate. - Still no EP numbers
schweady	01/27/2021 10:15AM dogwoodgirl: "CoffeeInTheWoods: "Booked all three of my permits without issue in 10 minutes." Really?- I thought the website said 1 per day per person or they might cancel them! I was going to wait until tomorrow to reserve my second " That's one permit per person per ENTRY DATE. That's designed to discourage people from bottling up an EP with multiple groups that all know each other, traveling together, etc. Also cuts down on reserving permits for multiple groups on the same entry date even if they go in at different EPs, unless different accounts are used. I successfully reserved our two permits today, as always. Aug 1 and Sep 12. Looking for a third, once we set a date for that one.
ThreeRivers	01/27/2021 10:12AM The site is hung up for me, wont even log me in once I select my date, my first date for LIS, all 8 permits already gone. Guess I just gotta keep tryin.
CoffeeInTheWoods	01/27/2021 10:11AM Pilgrimpaddler: "I also got my permit for Bower Trout in August with no problem. " Is everyone going to Bower Trout or Cross Bay? Did I miss a memo? Going in Missing Link in May, Moose R. North in June, Clearwater in August.

Savage Voyageur	01/27/2021 09:42AM Worked flawlessly for me. Good luck everyone.
burgydancer	01/27/2021 09:42AM Worked great for me. Lake One in July and Little Gabbro in early September.

I think the stipulation is that I couldn't book 3 permits on the same day." Good deal, thanks for the clarification!

Pilgrimpaddler	01/27/2021 09:23AM I also got my permit for Bower Trout in August with no problem.
KDaily	01/27/2021 09:23AM Made my reservation as well no issues. Solo out of EP 14 on May 14 for 9 days.
thegildedgopher	01/27/2021 09:23AM dogwoodgirl: "CoffeeInTheWoods: "Booked all three of my permits without issue in 10 minutes." Really?- I thought the website said 1 per day per person or they might cancel them! I was going to wait until tomorrow to reserve my second " That's a misunderstanding, I think. The system allows 7 separate permit reservations per session. The 1 per day limit language pertains to reserving more than 1 daily quota permit for any given day: "One permit per day per permit holder. The Forest Service reserves the right to cancel multiple same-day reservations and overlapping reservations under the same permit holder name. So if there are other permits you want, get back online, there is no rule against it. System worked great for me this morning as well.

VaderStrom	01/27/2021 09:15AM In and out in 2 minutes. New record!!! Only one trip this year as our first is expected in April.
CoffeeInTheWoods	01/27/2021 09:13AM Booked all three of my permits without issue in 10 minutes.
lindylair	01/27/2021 09:11AM Yup, Cross Bay Lake May 23rd, worked like a charm
martian	01/27/2021 09:10AM Indeed, done in 5 minutes. Thank you. So Awesome!!
ckelley	01/27/2021 09:10AM I had no issue either. I was done about that fast. Although, I got a Lake One permit and did not see Kawishiwi Lodge & Outfitters for a choice of locations to pick up the permit.
Porkeater	01/27/2021 09:07AM It appears the system is working flawlessly this year. Got my permit for Bower Trout in August and was checked out and had my confirmation by 9:04.
