Mike G Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannym Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share 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.
