Hi all - after making the excruciating decision to put my dog down yesterday, I've decided I need to get out of town for some solace. :(

I just picked up a Bell Magic a couple of months ago, and want to do my first solo starting on Sept 20th. I've been to the BWCA dozens of times, so I've got a lot of BWCA experience but no solo experience.

Any recommendations for a nice, fairly easy 4-day route that will get me into some decent fall fishing & colors? I was looking at Sawbill into Cherokee (lots of portaging) or perhaps Moose into the S arm of Knife and around to Ensign as options, but would appreciate any advice that you might have for me.

thanks!
dan

Don't have any trip advice but its tough to lose a friend, no matter if they are furry or not, but sometimes its the best for them, I do believe that in the end we are ALL united with our loved ones. FRED

I'm sorry about your dog.

I'm not familiar with that area, but general advice: be careful, take your time, do what you want, enjoy yourself.

Thanks all. Am now thinking about just doing the numbered lakes on into Insula. Easy & familiar with a few people around and hopefully good fishing...
