Not true. The entire site is advertising for one company. The
'information' page is for the customer to sign up for the services.
The 'environment' page seems to be all about how you can transport
people doing studies from all I could stand to read of it.



I was just trying to shorten the man's
time searching for a great place to fish...

Yep. YOUR place. Your profit.


people like you Ken give me a
pain in the ass....

Yes, Ken, among other traits that we may or may not enjoy, loves being
a pain in every orifice to SPAMmers. May his cattle prod always have
electricity to spare.

Thank you, Ken.

peace gord p

You keep your peace and we'll be quiet, too. He nailed you fair and
square. Whining just irritates some of the rest of us who'd have
otherwise kept quiet.

This is the quintessential good cop/bad cop routine.

Well timed, flawlessly executed, a true delight.

Yeah, thank you too, I guess, but now you've gone and run him off
already. We'll never see hide nor hair of Gord ever again.

You're quick, lethal and merciful, roff's best bouncer by far, but
as for me, I like to play with them for a little while before I run
them off.

Spoilsport. When do I get to be bouncer again ? ;-)

Oops. Sorry.

If we get to fish together, you can shove me underwater, prevent my
lovely new inflatable vest from working, pile rocks on top of me, and
take over from there. Or you can just ask.

But I'll rise from a watery grave or post at will at them when they
whine. I hate whining SPAMmers.

We should have a SE Minnesota mini-Clave. I fished in Whitewater
State Park years ago, caught some fish while wet wading and had a
nice enough day astream but when I got back to my campsite I found
a sweet 16 complement of leeches on my legs. What a bloody mess
THAT was. Kinda put me off SE Minnesota, if you know what I mean.

I do have waders, even though I hardly ever use them, so it's
high time I gave SE Minnesota another shot, especially if you're
willing to be mini-Clavemeister.

You go, girl.

Wow. I've never done any wading in Whitewater that wasn't wet wading
(in fact, I just got some waders this year, as yet unworn.). Never
got a leech.


One of the beauties of Whitewater is that there are supposedly no
mosquitos. I've been camping there on and off since '86 and did
finally see one mosquito last summer. It was weak, like the last
mosquitos of autumn, and it seemed almost a shame to kill it. I did,
though. It might have come in on a camper's vehicle.

I do have waders, even though I hardly ever use them, so it's

I have not the least idea how to be a Clavemeister, even mini. There
is a large group of bunkhouses with a sort of lodge for gathering and
a shower / toilet building among them that'd be great for a large
clave. Expensive compared to camping in the group site, unless you've
got a good sized group. But there's heat. That can be important early
or late in the fishing year.

Hmmm. Anyone else interested in SE MN in '04? If so, I'll question
the DNR about rates and ask my boss (who stays around there sometimes)
about other places nearby. Nearest towns are Elba (just north of the
park. Sort of a crossroads with a biker bar and gas station and a few
houses) and St. Charles, a few miles to the south (a real town, with a
supermarket and all that.). St. Charles has at least one motel on
the west side of town. Well, sort of. 40s or 50s sort of thing, IIRC.
I think that some of the pretty nice trailer park looking place
between the Park and Elba are rentals.

Rainbows might be stocked, but I don't believe browns are. I'm not
sure about brookies. If there are any that is. Maybe up the expert
creek where you have to walk to get to it. The fish might be pretty
naive up there. I'm the only person I ever saw (of the very few I've
seen at all) hike up there with fishing gear.

I do not organize things well. On the few group camps I've been, more
or less, responsible for, I've rented a group site, told everyone the
dates and assumed they'd arrange their own tents and food and chip in
on firewood and let it go at that. I've not tried to arrange any
amusements, group cooking, or trips to the local drinking
establishments. I do occasionally bring along larger screen tent in
case of rain or too many bugs.

Well, it would be nice to have an general sort of idea of the proposed
locale......but aside from that, I think you've got it covered.

Whitewater State Park in SE MN. A pretty place where I even know a
few reputedly good spots to fish. Of the twenty to thirty rangers
I've dealt with there, only one was a dope, but he was a friendly
dope.

When is what I'm having a problem with. Can't be Memorial Day. June
is difficult because of the WI FFboard trout clave over in Ellsworth
the 11th to 13th and I'll probably be doing a canoe trip around the
third week with a buddy (though that can be re-arranged). Can't be
4th of July weekend. Been at a State Park or two for that holiday.
Other than that, I think suggestions from possible attendees are now
in order. May is pretty open, and, AFAIK, August is completely open,
September is fine until the season closes at around mid month. April
is iffy. Sometimes it's nice enough that wet wading is wonderful,
other times that river valley collects the cold and I sulk in my tent
or fish off the bridge where the worm dunkers like to be.

(Gah. I'm occasionally turning to look at the TV. There's a special
on rats on right now. Found out that white rats were bred first for
the pits with terriers to kill them. In dim light the blood showed up
better when the dog injured or killed one. And that's why when rat
research started, there were so many available that white rats became
the standard. Good, the channel switcher just went back to the
football game.)

Speak now with your 2004 schedules, hopes, and dreams. Of trout.
Trout, damnit.
