Tried to get on the Mack once but it was too hot and the gal did not want to float.

Mike, in Illanoize I have floated the Dupe several times, the Fox maybe three times, the Apple once, the Kish maybe 3 times ( waded also ) and floated but did not fish the lower Des Plaines many years ago. Oh, I waded for about a half hour once on the K3 by the Warner Bridge.

All press is good press !

I have been a member of the River Alliance of Wisconsin for over a decade. This organization is tireless in its advocacy of rivers in the beleaguered state of Wisconsin. This June I did a float with executive director Denny Caneff on the upper Wisconsin River and afterwards he asked if he could do an article on me ( and our trip ) for the monthly newsletter, the FLOW. Here its is. I am very honored. Thank you, Denny ! https://www.wisconsinrivers.org/word-on-the-stream/blog/item/flow-summer-2015

a topic of many a discussion with friends..............................

Holy crap !

Lovely.

good

Dunno, good in theory. More crap to haul and I hate the smell of gasoline.

do you need the wool sock in the summer ?

so what's a good lightweight summertime sock to go with these boots ? Thinking about going this route too. Do these boots feel heavy or get waterlogged ?

Had a mighty fine time last night !

I dig. http://feelfreeus.com/kayaks/fishing-kayaks/lure-11-5/

yeah, this always makes me a little happier.
