It's a dry mix of Post Grape Nuts, instant milk and powdered instant cocoa. Add hot water and it's sort of like instant flummery. You Europeans will have to find a friendly North American to ship you a box of Grape Nuts. Best fish? I was doing a canoe trip around Isle Royale (hope to do it via kayak this year) and we were woefully short of food...but we did have a few spinning rigs. Using the classic Michigan pike rig- that's a red/white Dardevle spoon on a 6" steel leader- we hauled in enough pike out of Chickenbone Lake to stuff ourselves and give some to the nice honeymooners in the next tent. Just dipped fillets in Shake 'n' Bake and fried them in oil. Few freshwater fish match pike for sweet, delicate flesh. I'm taking a #6 or #7 fly rod and some red and white Dahlberg Divers when I go back. I've never carried wine on a camping trip, but Peter and I *always* carried a bottle of Yukon Jack ("the Black Sheep of Canadian whiskies") on our backpack and canoe trips. -- ---------------------------------------- Michael J Edelman mje_at_mich.com http://www.mich.com/~mje http://www.mich.com/~mje/kayak.html http://www.mich.com/~mje/scope.html *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Thu Mar 19 1998 - 16:08:12 PST
