This is great news!  I assume

This is great news!  I assume then that Eagle Cliff confirmed that they'll be open for us?  Any rules about tent proximity or anything else COVID related?

Campground confirmed

Hey Jason, yes we have confirmed with Eagle Cliff our usual awesome camping area alongside the river.  They didn't mention anything about current COVID-related rules, and I don't see anything on their website.  We'll need to be aware and careful for ourselves, and err on the side of caution.

WOOT!

8th and 9th! That is great. I'll be headed to the BWCA the weekend of the "opener" and so I was resigned to missing again. Bonus: spouse is going out of town that weekend... if I can find some vaccinated grandparents I'll be a free man all weekend.

Yes and Yes?

We are finalizing shirt design right now.  They have lots of canoes and kayaks for rent at the Campground, and you can usually get one.

Bummer

I have to go to Duluth that weekend and pick-up my Son from college. :(  I'm planning on going early and hitting the St. Croix, so I'll be thinking about all of you and the Round Up. One of these years I'll make it.

No, no centrally organized potluck feast or prize table.

Sucker balls?

I assume no pot luck means no sucker balls? 

 

Better to have a Roundup with no sucker balls, than no Roundup at all.

Thanks for organizing the Roundup!

Andy and Corey - Thanks for organizing the Roundup!  Even though we didn't have a potluck feast or prize table it was still great to see the redhorse spawning run and meet other roughfish anglers.  And thanks for all your work in keeping this great forum/website going!

Hear, Hear!

I won't say that 2021 was one for the record books. But it was great to fish with the good folks from Roughfish.com again. And, we even caught a few fish. 

 

It is so nice to fish with like minded people and not have to explain both WHAT you are fishing for and then explain WHY. Not being interupted by those sorts of questions really highlights how much fishing time I spend answering them. 

 

Thanks to Corey and Andy for making this website and the roundup happen.

This was the first roundup I've been able to make it to, and I'm so sad that we don't have more group events. You guys were an absolute blast, I can't wait to see everyone again!

Yeah!

It was great getting to meet you, Kytten! I'd like to have more get-togethers, too. You are hereby authorized to organize one for the summer if you want to. Drew and I just have our hands full and it's tough to put together a meetup more than once or twice a year. I know a lot of people would get down to Eau Claire or something for a day; PM me if you have any ideas.
