Fourtown Lake BWCA 4 Day Solo Wilderness Canoe Trip Mudro Entry Point
Переглядів 6 тис.3 місяці тому
I wanted to go to Moosecamp Lake but due to rain and not being sure there would be enough water in Moosecamp Creek I decided to camp on the far north end of Fourtown Lake for 2 nights. Then to the South end to fish my more familiar spots for 1 night. I was going to stay 4 nights but I got home sick and really missed my family so I left early evening on day 4. Join me on my 6th trip of the year!

BWCA Nina Moose Lake Part 2: June 10- 14 My easy fishing trip continued with lots of hanging at camp due to wind and rain. I did get a chance to fish each day but not as much as I was hoping. On the way out I finally encountered a moose in the river! But I couldn’t remember if I had my camera off or on and unfortunately turned it off so I only captured a couple of seconds on film.

    I enjoy watching your videos. I come to Ely every year with my bass boat, first week of June, but I am ready to take it to the next level. Planning a trip into the boundary waters next year. I am not familiar with canoes what brand & model do you have? It looks fairly lightweight and seems to have held up pretty well, for as many trips as you’ve taken. Thanks for your time and any advice would be welcome

I personally love fishing out of a canoe but it’s not for everyone. If you go on a trip next year, I’d love to hear how it goes. Good luck and thanks again for watching.

    A tip on using double bladed paddle. the object is to keep as much of the blade in the water as possible. You are holding the paddle with the longest point entering the water first. it should be the other way around also the length of a kayak pedal when used for a canoeis usually quite a bit longer than what it looks like you are using. With a longer paddle, you have a more relaxed stroke with less splashing. Usually much drier for the Paddler too.
