Mike G Posted December 9, 2017 Report Posted December 9, 2017 My best memories of great Smallmouth fishing are the trips my father and I took every year for many years camping and fishing in the MN Boundary Waters and the adjoining Ont Quetico Park. I figure it won't be long before ISA sends an expedition up there. well, maybe. There's news about a foreign mining operation with big plans to mine right next to the park. Congressman Tom Emmer (R) MN is promoting a bill to allow the mining. Please read and act as you will. Those parks are Smallmouth treasures. https://midcurrent.com/2017/12/04/speak-out-for-the-boundary-waters/?utm_source=MidCurrent+Fly+Fishing+Email+Newsletter&utm_campaign=988fd0d639-MidCurrent_October_5_2017&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_8efbf3b958-988fd0d639-18956357 Quote
mannym Posted December 14, 2017 Report Posted December 14, 2017 It is sad to read this. I have been to the BWCA every year for 12 years. One of the best places to get away from artificial noise. Quote
Andy C Posted December 14, 2017 Report Posted December 14, 2017 I spend a week up there every year. Why can we not leave good enough alone! Quote

I decided on ffing up in the Boundary Waters in the 60's after witnessing a friend of my father catch walleyes and bass with a white bassbug during a white fly hatch. These days at least whenever any politician comes out in favor of trashing the environment for a quick buck you can always count on there being an (R) behind his name Quote
Mark K Posted December 23, 2017 Report Posted December 23, 2017 From the Sierra Club: This afternoon, the Trump Administration moved to give a Chilean company an absolute right to mine on the edge of the Boundary Waters against science, law and the will of the people. Quote
Mark K Posted December 23, 2017 Report Posted December 23, 2017 Correction that was from "Save the Boundary Waters" organization. But here is an article: Game over. again. How many more years of this? http://www.startribune.com/feds-ok-mining-on-edge-of-bwca/465989843/ Quote
Jake B Posted March 14, 2018 Report Posted March 14, 2018 I saw this yesterday in my Twitter feed and thought it was worth sharing. http://m.startribune.com/the-polymet-proposal-where-compromise-can-be-found-in-an-otherwise-catastrophic-plan/476603633/ Quote
