quote joetrain: "We will end up there. The fishing there is first rate, huge smallies await us, I hope. Hey TomT we have a few things in common ,I live near you and had an Old Town Canadienne till this past summer. I wasn't using it anymore so I let it go to someone who would paddle it. ~JOE~"
I haven't used my Canadienne since 2009 as I went solo from 2011 - '13. I'll be in it this year with a young nephew this time. Looking forward to North bay and possibly Sunday Bay for 8 nights. My brother has back and knee issues so portaging will be at a minimum. Also, keep that fishing stuff on the DL. We all know that Basswood is all but fished out.
Are you in the Chicago burbs?
