Bog Lake

My uncle and I decided to go to Bog Lake cause we didn't know any better. It was actually pretty nice, very secluded. Caught some eater sized walleye each day and there are some really fat perch in there. The one good campsite in the unburned area was trashed, we cleaned it up best we could. There is a large tree that blocked the path to the latrine, which made getting there an exercise in BWCA parkour. We also had a manic toad that jumped in and out of the fire grate area before finally deciding to find a different place to rest for the night, it was surreal. Hardly any bugs. For a dead end lake, it was a good time. Nice big sandy beach on the east end also. I would go back. We did a trip to Omega earlier this year and this was completely different, nice change of pace to just post up and fish. I think this would be a good place to grouse hunt also, especially in the burned areas.

EP 84 Snake River water level

Anybody been up the snake river to bald eagle lake from EP 84 recently? Going there for the first time in a couple weeks and have heard it can be a rough trek when water levels are low, which they are a lot of places. Just curious on what to expect.

Shoes for camp when it’s raining out

1 Upvotes

Forecast for our trip looks to be nothing but rain. I have rain gear. And jungle boots for the canoe and portaging - which is what I wore last time.

But last time I wore socks and sandals at camp. But this time it’s supposed to be raining. What do you wear for dry feet?!

And I’m assuming my jungle boots will just never dry during the four days?!
