im not discouraged at all it sucked alot lol but i had a alot of fun i was at lowes the other day and bought two 10 gallon buckets and it fits everything that i brought with me on the trip, they have lids and hopefully will keep my stuff dry even though there was no fish caught it didnt bother me as for doing it again its allready in the making except this time were thinking of doing kenerdell to emlenton the only part i didnt like was the whole way on r trip there was either camps on 1 side or a highway on the other. the whole reason me and my buddy brad wanted to do it was b/c we thought we were gonna be in the middle of nowhere and a few ppl told the this route is a bit more scenic and remote , also ill make sure i have more then just my musky box with 8 plugs in it, instead of leaving my other box on the wrong canoe and well have minows and crawlers and hell mayb some leeches also i have a decent throw away camera in a waterproof case if anyone could back this info up on it being more remote, scenic ill be very happy again any info is appreciated thank you very much

yeah u got it without the squealing like a pig part and the 2 red necks, we wanna spend a week on the river from warren to pitt but neither of us can get that much time off im checkin out google earth now though thanks

Last Sunday my son landed 6 20 plus inch catfish on an 4 foot ultra light and 4 lb test line.  We did have to maneuver the canoe around a little because they would pull us into the trees.  Landed all but one then he was on shore and lost the one he caught there.  The canoe gives a lot of give when fighting the fish.

Moo if you really want a remote canoe trip, try the upper clarion river around Ridgeway.  Mostly a trout and SM trip, but wooded and you can camp out on shore on the national forest side of the river.

We pay at the boat launch right before the bridge. The old boat shop, but now you can just leave the money at the house. $5.
