Here is the only winter shot I've got....I work on my tackel box all winter dreaming of spring fishing in the Canoe Country. See page 9 in the Winter Boundary Waters Journal for the full story.

..... it would be nice to get my new Alaskans on a trail in the BWCA......... well, it sort of is a BWCA picture, but all in my head

ok, it WAS may.

If ya kin paddle yer canoe ta Big Portage in lessden a week, is it canoe country? Yep, don't got no winter photo's of de beedubs either, just wanted ta toss dis one outder doe.

I'm with Kanoes. It sure felt like winter that morning...

This is one of my favorite shots. That's my son heading back to camp after fishing all day on Ramshead Lake in February 2009.

Nym Lake day trip into Batchewaung. No fish were caught, but it was a balmy March 2009 day that barely required gloves or hats. Amazing how nice 45 degrees feels in the wilderness snow!

Fishguts... That's the best winter picture I've ever seen...a full tackle box patiently waiting for spring and fishing season.... GOOD ONE

Woodpecker

woodpecker,....Thanks!
It's the only Winter picture I've got....for the Canoe Country :)

This is as close to a winter photo that could come up with and it was taken in October on the portage frome Round lake into Missing Link.

Taking a break from fishing and going on a winter sled ride on a BW lake

I like it MooseTrack. Is that how you troll in the winter? (groaner I know couldn't resist that one)

A 'snowcurl' on the roof of our canoe shed.

This is a picture of my nephew snowshoeing along the Wolf River in northern Wisconsin last year.

(kayaking near my house last winter.)

Photo Description:
Taken at Lake One on 01/18/2010 around 2:30pm CST. I think this picture provides a good perspective of great winter adventure in BWCA. When lakes are frozen, the dog sled teams are out and running!
