How many are going to Canada this year?

[wildduck223]

Just like to know how many are going this year and if more than once? We will have 11 going once, and 2 of us going back again this fall.

[Dave B]

I am going once in early June, and might go in August if i can get away.

[rpieske]

Just going once this year....from May to Sept.

[Jimmy Jig]

Once in June for two weeks, once in Oct.for one week

[Unlogged T-Mac]

Me...
..in October.
Same group as always...for many years... (+/- one).

[north_alabama]

Only once for me, 2 weeks straddling June/July. Would like to go more but the 24 hours driving each way really take a toll, and eat into the old vacation days.

[Catman59]

Same time......Same place. Middle of July..family vacation 10 days:cheers:

[Rob in Florida]

8 in all...only 1 rookie this year. All the others are back for another year. Rookie is an attorney too...we should have some time with him this year. Told him that we're in really good shape this year as "What goes on in Canada...stays in Canada"...well, now we have attorney client privelege too!

23 days and counting...I can just start to taste the first little drops of Lieney's touching the tip of my tongue...

MAY 19th!!!GET HERE FAST!

That is all...

Dear Friends,

I am 60, 61 in September. Will retire Dec. 31, 2006. I have type 2 diabetes, had a malignant skin cancer spot removed from my face this spring, and have spent quite a few years in a high pressure professional position.

I am going to Canada for three weeks this summer (Wabaskang, Long-Legged Lake, and one undecided). Last summer I was there for three weeks.

I have rented a log cabin in northern Arkansas for the entire month of April of 2007. I will fish the White River, Bull Shoals, and/or Norfork Lake. I have my own fishing boat. I have season tickets for Iowa Hawkeye football and basketball. I will follow Iowa to a football bowl game for the 4th year in a row.

I will be pheasant hunting with my Brittany, Daisy, in South Dakota and Iowa this fall/winter.

I will spend time with grandkids (7) and likely travel to the mountains again soon.

My advice: Don't let $3.00 per gallon gasoline or other minor issues deter you. And remember...

Nobody ever, on his/her death bed, said, "I sure wish I had worked longer and more hours."

Sincerely,

Dr. Lee

You said it all. As we get older life can be a fleeting thing, do what you can while we are able.

7 of us arriving Lac Seul June 23. It was 8 until last week when unexpectantly one of our group passed away (at age 44). Dr. Lee is absolutely correct. These trips are for building memories, lifelong friendships, and taking time to relax. That was hit home last week. We will toast to our friend with a tall Wiser's and thank the fishing god's for allowing us to be a small part.

Lost my best friend last year after a bout with cancer. Toughest guy I ever knew. Was my section leader in Weapons Platoon over 40 years ago. We had a philosophy in the Corps....Live as well as you can for as long as you can, because when it comes time to be miserable, practice doesn't help.

I was going through a video tape I made at LOTW in 2000 where my friend looked at the camera and said teasingly, "You'll miss me when I'm gone!" Little did he know how much. Enjoy life, keep your priorities straight and cherish your friends. Life is definitely short. Here's to you...J.D. Wright.

Got 2 trips planned this yr...6/1 going to Lac Seul for 2 weeks with 2 buddies. July going to Winnipeg River with wife & 2 other couples. Retirement is GREAT!!

[luv2huntnfish]

I wouldn't miss my time in Canada for anything. :-) What a country.

GREAT people, good to exceptional fishing, fine dining, and more!!! What more could a person ask for.

Travel plans include trips for catfish in July and for the annual greenback run from late September through all of October. The month of November would be included but I've also got the whitetail bug.

Keith Seidlinger.

[ankorklankor]

Will go twice this year, first week of June to norther MB and first week of July to LOW.

I turned 57 this year and not wanting to rush the aging process can't wait for 62.

[guidedfishing]

One week 2nd week of June

One week 1st week of July

One week 2nd week of Sep (lunker time)

good luck all
GF

[Ancien Opus]

None. Staying home. Gas is too expensive and your dollar won't get you much up north. Wish it was different.

[waleht]

Well I hope you don't take a trip anywhere then. I asssume tha gas prices will be the same where ever you go. Also my resort owner is from the US and always has only accepted U.S. Funds so the value of the dollar don't mean much for me. Oh I forgot about breakfast on the way up.....um I don't think it will break me.

Hi. My wife an I have been going to canada once or twice a year for the last 30 years and allways enjoyed it very much. Now we have moved to las vegas and know it is one of the things we will miss very much from now on. I have even thought about flying back just to go to canada yet. lake mead is out here but have not yet figured out ow to fish it yet. Oh well. good luck everyone. bye

[Hammerhead Herb]

[Tony O]

9 of us are going to Gullrock June 3-10.

Gas pricing is of little concern when it comes to the Canada trip, even when you are driving from central Missouri.

[eyehunter1983]

let us know how you do tony! we go to gullrock in august!

[Larry S]

[fourize]

My Dad and I for 2 weeks...June 19th thru July 3rd. Our 12th year in a row.

[Unlogged T-Mac]

Same here, Clarkie.
See ya there.

[Tonyo]

Gullrock lake - 5 Lakes Lodge

June 3-10th

9 guys

7 days to go.

As for the gas issue, why would anyone give up a trip to the great white north for an extra $100.

[MRLUNKER]

My Grandson is making his first trip to Canada this summer with my Wife and I. I am really looking forward to this trip! We go to Berthelot Lake Lodge in Quebec and fly in to an outpost lake. Fishing is great! I realize the trip will cost more this year but the memories with him and my wife will be priceless.

[Neal]

Gas is of concern to us as well. We have 8 going up to Ignace on June 10th, and we are from St. Louis. Looks like we'll have to pinch our pennies just to fill our tanks.
