OMGitsKa: "Based on the amount of LIS North & Mudro permits still avaiable 15 minutes later Id say there is slightly less demand this year. I swear last year they were all but booked up in the first 10 minutes..." Agree, somewhat. As of 9:30, still 5 or 6 EP23-Mudro available in both June and July and several still out there for early September. Unfortunately, it's still a matter of being ready in the first hour or so or looking elsewhere. |

Good thing too, as my first two choices were gone for the summer within 10 minutes. |

June Kawishiwi Lake permit, lots of exploring to do past Malberg. July Moose River North, Lac La Croix and maybe beyond. August plans changed to NP road trip. Happy tripping out there. |

Also got a permit for 23 May for seagull lake to fish Lakers so I'm pretty happy A friend got a permit for little Gabbro for 6th September had to settle for the six because the 7th was already gone. So it looks like my summer is filling up already. Tony |

Thanks to all for a supportive, informative community built around paddling and I hope you all get what you're looking for. As for me, I've directed the church staff that no one shall enter my office until after my permits have been procured. No pastoral emergencies shall come upon us. My finger will be hovered over the computer mouse, ready to go. Peace my friends. PS Our congregation is building some canoes and we're putting in for two summer youth trips and a fall adult trip as well. Yaya. |

pastorjsackett: "Well last night was "Permit Day's Eve" and today it all starts. I should have given the same instruction to my people! Someone showed up for counsel at 8:07 and left at 9:20. I was sitting at my computer unable to participate. By the time I was alone my permit was long gone. God must want me in another sector this spring. We shall see! |

Our other trips to the area this year won’t require permits, so it was a nice relaxing morning here :) Hope everybody had good luck and wish you a great paddling, camping, and fishing season. |

schweady: "OMGitsKa: "Based on the amount of LIS North & Mudro permits still avaiable 15 minutes later Id say there is slightly less demand this year. I swear last year they were all but booked up in the first 10 minutes..." And, one hour into it, I already saw one Mudro permit put back into the system. So, keep your eyes open, set the calendar to your preferred EP/date and refresh once in a while. (I noticed it because this put-pack was on our same date, which was previously filled in the first 10 min.) Still, after just one hour, only seven EP23 permits remain available between May 15 and Sep 15. (98.9% filled) And, Little Gabbro? 4 permits still up for grabs for the entire season, but they are all in the first week of May. (Hey, there's a chance this year that the ice *could* be out by then...) |

I swear last year they were all but booked up in the first 10 minutes..." I was watching Mudro last year and agree that they went faster than this year. I picked up an E Bearskin permit for the 2nd year in a row, I feel like those booked out faster than last year. Clearwater lake fully booked may 7th-september 29th already! |

I'm sure folks realize there will be fluctuation and permits popping up as people grab what's there and then change their minds (or realize their trip partner also grabbed the same one). For folks who aren't as comfortable with the online booking, it might be nice if FS could add a "practice" booking app, or at least a step by step video, in the weeks ahead of opening. (Maybe that's out there on rec.gov already?) Looking forward to seeing folks on the water this year! |

Got permits for my 7-8d "Lake Trout RoundAbout" in May via Brant, my second solo in June for 8-9d via Baker, and a 5d in August with a friend who's never been, via Mudro. Now I can _really_ get excited :) just need to actually get fit this year... |
