Checklist
WHAT TO BRING
Fishing
Rods
Reels
Tackle Box
Net (1 per boat)
Depth Finder (1 per boat)
Minnow Bucket (1 per boat)
Worm Container (optional, Dinty Moore Beef Stew Cans work nice)
Stringer (Sometimes nice to have two per boat)
Needle Nosed Pliers, Clippers, Knife (Tether for your pliers, you know who you are)
Clothes
Couple pair of pants
Few pair of shorts
Underwear (one of the most frequently forgotten Items)
Socks (another frequently forgotten item)
A couple of towels
Two pair of shoes
Flip Flops or slippers for the Cabin
Fitted sheet for mattress (optional, and by optional, I mean Trent is the only person who does this)
Hat (At least one that has the ability to cover your ears)
Rain Suit (This is not optional and make it the last thing you put in your duffle bag)
Miscellaneous
Sunblock (In 2009 we were 10 feet from the sun for about 4 days)
Bug Spray (It better have deet or you are wasting your money)
Fillet Knife
Sunglasses (May want to consider an extra pair as well)
Clear safety glasses (great for the driver of the boat in the evenings, keeps the bugs out of your eyes)
Stick a golf or small towel in your tackle box.
Krazy glue – Great for patching up small cuts
Flashlight and batteries – The walk from one cabin to the other gets a lot longer in the dark.
Camera – Disposable or Digital – If digital, don’t forget the batteries
Any tobacco products you might use – Sweet lord, you don’t want to buy it up there.
Tips:
Line your duffel bag with a big trash bag before you put your clothes in it (It will rain on the way up or down the river) and put an extra one in there for on the way back if need be.
Wash your hands before taking your contacts out. (I found this out the hard way, not only does in burn like heck but bug spray is impossible to get off your contacts)
Bring some type of waterproof bag to keep your raingear in the boat (Also handy when you start peeling off layers)

The three West Virginian's will be beginning their trip early. We are leaving early this evening and spending our first night
ReplyDeleteat Shirley's Bed and Breakfast in Gilmore, Ohio. Reviews say it is a pleasant facility with a bar, and the beds have fitted sheets.
I want to thank Ryan for mentioning John Denver's classic song earlier in this blog.It's been playing in my head over the last
week or so. (THANK YOU VERY MUCH) I believe it goes something like this.
All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
The grass is cut
The garden is hoed
I hate to wake you up and say let's go
But the dawn is breakin
It's early morn
Our stuff is loaded
Bob's blowing his horn
So load your asses and let's be on our way
Leaving on a bush plane
Can't wait to be back at the Chutes again
Leaving on a bush plane
Can't wait to fish with friends again...
Well,I'm sure it's something like that.
One other note. Larry would like to welcome all baby makers back.I know his wording is crude, but his thoughts are sincere. Damn, this is gettig a little soft, and that's just not our style.
Great. Now not only do I have the tune in my head but the wrong words to go with it.
ReplyDeleteGoing to be a great trip. A new guy, a record number of Couts', hardly any beer, lots of fish, and plenty of stories to post here upon my return. Watch your step.
Hey Bernie, How many depth finders and nets are you guys bringing?
ReplyDeleteAndy and I our in the market for a depth finder. We don't have any money to rent one with, but I may be able to give you a walleye at a key moment. If you know what I mean, wink wink.
ReplyDeleteDad said Bernie and Larry both have one. Dad has one. Bob has one and Trent has one. I hope this is true or Andy will just have to estimate it with the anchor rope.
ReplyDeleteWe have two depth finders.They are ready to go.Larry has a net and Aaron's bringing one.Andy may use the depth finder in exchange for a slim jim. What can I say ? I'm easy.
